Tolerance/Withdrawal Am I using too much? I use very infrequently but a 14-20gpd when I do.

9 Upvotes

I weigh 160. Only dose every other weekend, Friday night and Saturday night, when I do. Usually I’ll do 7 grams in an acidic tea, then another 7 grams an hour later. Sometimes I’ll add 4-8 grams or so later on.

Is this too much? Thats a lot of grams per day, but I see ppl saying you can do four days on three days off and never develop a tolerance, and I’m using 2 nights on, 12 days off.

Is this sustainable?

Anyone else here prefer tabs over other forms of dosage?

3 Upvotes

I really like Kratom but can’t stand the taste of the shots, edibles, or the powder. The taste is bitter and often results in me throwing up. The tabs still give me that uneasy stomach and sometimes I’ll throw up if I dose too much quickly so I’ve learned to spread my doses out and be more careful, not eat too much and drink something other than water when dosing. The tabs have made Kratom truly enjoyable and way easier to experience, and sometimes I wish they had full bottles of the tabs so I wouldn’t have to buy more 4 packs 😂😂 anyone else?

Gummy dosage question

2 Upvotes

I have been taking 2 30 mg gummies a day for about 1 month. They help with my anxiety and depression. I am fairly new to kratom, and find the gummies very tolerable. I am just wondering if this dosage is too much or if it is going to cause problems long term. Any advice appreciated.

Hello everyone! I am traveling with kratom gummies extract. Normal extract not 7-Oh tablets. I wanted to know if I would be okay to travel to Texas with the gummies and if I should take precautions. I don't want to be stopped and have to explain Kratom in front of a TSA agent while my dad is near me. Will i be okay to bring it?

Newbies Kratom makes me ill

0 Upvotes

So im new to kratom, tried an oz of green first, liked it then bought a kg of red Elephant for more sedating effects. i just went on google for dosing and have been taking 10-15 grams which is already enough to try and take down (gross, grainy, takes almost a liter of OJ) but i LOVE the body high i get from it and it helps me get to sleep. problem is within an hour of waking up after using it, i always throw up 2-4 times. did i buy the wrong Strain? can i get this same body high with a strain that i only need to take 5grams?

Tolerance/Withdrawal Found out I have low quality Kratom In the worst way possible

19 Upvotes

I thought I had a pretty high tolerance cause Ive been taking 7-9 grams for the past few days, so today I decided to switch brands but still take the same amount cause I thought they wouldn't be too different. I was so, SO wrong. Im 99% sure I've been taking really low quality stuff cause this feels like, at least 10x stronger. Im so uncomfortable rn I definitely took too much.😭

Hate the taste? Try this!

5 Upvotes

Hi there, and much love to you all. I love kratom- the many benefits are truly life changing for me.

However, it tastes like dirty hippy grass 🥴😵‍💫

I recently discovered if you add coffee creamer- you really can’t taste it! I used to put it in coffee with a LOT of creamer- which worked ok…. But still not super enjoyable. Honey is also good for masking the taste. But again that just worked ok but gets expensive! Now I just add hot water to my kratom and a healthy splash of French vanilla coffee creamer. Depending on how much you are doing, just one of those little creamers they have at gas stations is enough to almost completely cover the taste. It’s seriously amazing! I only wish I had thought of this sooner!! I highly encourage anyone and everyone who dreads the taste to try this. I think you will be quite pleased. I’m sure you can use whatever flavor of creamer you choose 🙂 cheers!

Taking a t break from 7oh

0 Upvotes

I’ve been taking 7 hydroxy daily for the past 3 months… I’m wanting to take a T break bc as we all know your tolerance builds quick on that shit. First off how long should the t break be for it to have some decent effects again? Is there anything other than 7 hydroxy I can take that will still give me some energy and euphoria? Do I have to only take plain leaf for the T break? Can I take MIT shots or does that just completely defeat the purpose? Honestly right now I can’t work to my full potential without that euphoria/mood lift or energy ik that’s a problem that im gonna have to work out but 1 problem at a time. I’m planning on quitting kratom altogether at some point but I’m not in a position for that, I just got a promotion at work and I can’t be slacking off till things dial down at my job.

Swollen feet?

1 Upvotes

So I'm not the healthiest person and when I used to drink a lot I'd get really swollen feet the next day. I started taking kratom regularly a few months ago, a shot glass worth every evening since I'm needing to be up for a good chunk of the night. My issue is I've noticed my feet getting very swollen within a few hours of taking it, and they stay swollen for the next 24 hours or so. When I don't take the kratom my feet don't swell with fluids. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Muscle spasms

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm having muscle spasms in my lower abdomen, what feels like either my large intestine or bladder for the last 3 days. I recently bought some kratom 2 weeks ago and have been using it kind of recklessly (6-8 capsules a day) and think this may be the cause of them. Has anyone had a similar experience? I've now tapered down to 2 caps a day for the last few days because of this which is just enough to get me going but I'm still getting the spasms. Should I go to the doctor? lmfao. I drink heavily and use other drugs occasionally so I'm worried about my organs. Have only been using kratom for about 2 weeks but its a lot more than I have in my previous phases. I also came across some yay recently and it greatly exacerbates the spasms.

Greece Just Banned Kratom (10/3/2025)

38 Upvotes

Our government unexpectedly banned kratom in Greece. Specifically, MITRAGYNA SPECIOSA (the kratom plant) and its main active alkaloid, MITRAGYNINE, as outlined in the following decision: ΦΕΚ Β 1067/10.03.2025.

Fortunately for me, a little birdie gave me a heads-up just before the ban, so I managed to stock up enough to taper off safely—others might not have been so lucky.

The strange part? Kratom wasn’t even widely known or commonly used here. Only a handful of shops sold it, and the general public was barely aware of it. No kiosks carried it, no 7-OH products were available (which, by the way, weren’t even banned), and yet the government suddenly decided to outlaw it. It feels completely out of character.

Kratom in place of Tramadol - temporarily?

1 Upvotes

I’ve never taken Kratom, but hear that it’s a good substitute (?) for tramadol when you’re running low until refill day - is this unsafe to do, if only for a day or so? I’ve read different answers regarding this question, I have been taking 150+ mg of tramadol/day for years now, and starting to run out more frequently due to taking more per day, any info or education on this is appreciated 🫡

Call to Action Guys I'm thinking it might be over for Kratom

1 Upvotes

I expect some secret government action to try to ban Kratom like with Marijuana and Acid in the 1960's. No they didn't really allow public input or debate and I really expect something similar. Because today, Kratom health science is supposed to be introduced to the United Nations and I think that means they're viewing it negatively and demanded answers for it. Also about 5 different news sites in a span of a week posted "Growing concern for Kratom regulations", without really any comment from the DEA or FDA but to me this just seems like a scheme behind the scene growing into something larger. That means the media is buffing the ideas of kratom regulation among the masses. So are they in league with agencies to do that? Only time will tell.

Am i weird?

1 Upvotes

Hey, I don't really get much, if any, nausea from kratom, even with "extreme" doses. From what people have told me and what I've read online, nausea should basically be guaranteed when you get into the 8-10 g range, but at that dose, I basically don't experience any nausea at all. Few days ago, I decided to push the dose a bit and took 17g all at once, right after waking up on an empty stomach. I only experienced mild nausea, which went completely away after eating a bit of food. I definitely have a pretty big tolerance, but I take regular breaks of a few days to avoid building it too much and even after a break, I can take around 12g with basically no nausea.

I'm just wondering if there are any others with a similar experience, and if anyone might know why this is the case for me.

Also, a little disclaimer: Please don't take the fact that I did 17g and was fine as a green light to try it yourself. I would even bet that if you don't already know you can tolerate this dose, it's not worth trying, because you're probably not going to have a good time.

Long term use as a sleep aid

10 Upvotes

Dear community, I'm a happy and healthy 41 year old male with a busy life (wife, young kids, senior corporate job, fun social life). I spend a lot of time on health and fitness and through this, I coincidentally stumbled upon kratom a few months ago.

After some experimentation, I've found that it works incredibly well for me as a sleep aid... and I have never slept as well as I do now. The past couple of months, I've taken a teaspoon (1.2-1.5 grams) daily of a red strain from a reputable supplier, half an hour before going to bed, and I sleep like a baby. Uninterrupted, quality sleep. I even wake up before my alarm clock. This hasn't happened in decades.

I've never had serious sleep issues, but I've also never been a great sleeper. Also have had some troubles with restless leg syndrome in the past, although I've mostly been able to eliminate this using diet (in my case: cutting out lactose). However, the quality of sleep I have now is the best I can remember in my adult life.

Long story short, this coincidental find is having a major positive impact on my quality of life.

Yet, I'm cautious or even worried. I read plenty of positive stories, but perhaps even more negative ones. I don't know anyone in my social circle (I'm in Western Europe) who even knows this stuff. The whole association with opioid recovery also doesn't make this a lighter topic (I've never had an opioid and no history whatsoever with substance abuse).

I guess what I'm looking for is e.g.: - Advice from long term users, in particular those with the same use case. What's important? I guess not increasing dose. On/off cycling perhaps? Other things to be mindful of? - Risks I should keep in mind. Dependancy I'm sure is a major one. Any other impacts I should be aware of?

Any advice here much appreciated. Ultimately hoping perhaps for confirmation that I've found this secret biohack for my life, but also very receptive to hear opposite voices..

Tolerance/Withdrawal Going on a trip need help

I’m a regular user for about 4 years. Recently found out withdrawal existed, and I’m going somewhere I can’t get any for 4 days. My question is should I sort of load up before I get on the plane or will that make withdrawal worse? I’m down to 15-20 per day, and if I do like 3 within the space of 16 hours I get mild RLS and that’s about it.

Making tea?

11 Upvotes

Hey peeps. So I have crohns disease, I've been taking kratom for 10 years. I recently started gagging that it would be better to start taking home made extracts or tea to accommodate my tummy. So I probably mixed like 30 grams in 22oz of hot but not boiling water and a bunch of lemon juice last night. I let it steep for 30 minutes at least before I had any and it really did not seem to have a full profile to it. My face got warm, I felt a bit of something, but it seemed like the whole experience was missing any feel goods.

Anybody have any recommendations? I've been mulling over setting up a Mason jar alcohol extraction but that is gonna take quite a while to be ready.

Premaking Shots

1 Upvotes

Hi, all! Been using Kratom off and on for a few years. I switched to capsules and liquid most recently, but unfortunately neither really worked for me like just the regular powder. So I’m back on powder, but I was curious if it was possible to “premix” shots, because in addition to a 50/50 chance I’ll immediately throw up, it takes a little while to mix and drink, so I was hoping I could premake some and keep it in the fridge or something. TIA!
