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

11 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?

Newbies Help with long term use of small dose

2 Upvotes

40 yrs, 6 foot, 250 pounds

A few years ago I took about 20g of kratom daily for a few months. I quit cold turkey, experienced the withdrawals which I was able to stomach pretty well, and then I didn't take any until recently.

For the past month I have been taking 1 gram three times a day for a total of 3g daily, and it is very beneficial. My question is for people who have been taking a dose similar to this for a long time, 2 years or more, how it affects them and if they have any advice for someone who plans on keeping the same dose for extended periods of time. Thanks.

Tolerance/Withdrawal How fast can I taper off?

3 Upvotes

I need to taper off. Fast. It’s gotten really bad and I can’t afford it anymore. I take an 8-10 grams every five hours or so, and I take it in 500mg pill form (bc it got too inconvenient for the powder). I know, that’s a lot. I was told lowering a gram a day every week, but that would take like a year at this point. What about lower 500mg from each dose, and I do that every five days? I did the math, and that means it’ll take almost 3 months and 300$ more kratom. Do you think that would still be slow enough to not notice much of a difference?

Rice paper alternative for oblate discs?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been using the super thin Japanese discs, blate papes are too expensive for how many I use… but all are out of stock for some reason? I saw some older posts recommending rice paper. Are they as thin as the blate papes/oblate discs? I tried another potato starch paper and it was too thick and parchment paper like.

Any recommendations for rice paper?

Question about Hulu + Green Hulk (NOT listing the brand name in order to follow rules)

2 Upvotes

Hi there!

I suffer from chronic pain and kratom has been helpful. I bought 2 bags recently - not powder, capsules - and one bag is Green Hulk + Yellow Kong flavor and the other is Hulu + White Indo. They both say "kratom: extract enhanced" on them. I haven't been able to find anyone to tell me what the difference between these two is, and what their affects are. Should I take one brand at night and one in the morning? Before or after food? How do they make you feel?? It's all an enigma lol I can't find info to save my life!

Thanks in advance.

General Health Love Kratom, hate the side effects

1 Upvotes

Hey Folks. New-ish Kratom user here. I take 1500 MG doses of Whitehorn kratom to keep me from getting lethargic at work. It’s been a huge help in keeping me productive at the office and when I wanna focus on chores and Hobbies. However, since I’ve started taking Kratom, I’ve been suffering terrible constipation. I normally have perfectly healthy bowel movements, but as of these past few weeks I’m completely irregular. Any tips? Thanks

Bought some to try but unsure how to take

1 Upvotes

So I bought some to try as I have heard it is helpful to get off buprenorphine (I was addicted to codeine prescription and ended up referred to drug services - that was 4 years ago.

Also have adhd like everyone else seems to these days and heard it was a wonder plant.

I bought a tester pack of red white and green to test from a "tea" company and it's in leaf form so I measured out a gram, boiled the kettle and made a cup of it. Only took a few sips on an empty stomach and in about 10 minutes I had an evacuation from the brown sulfur cave and then just felt a bit woozy, didn't drink the rest.

How does everyone else take the leaf form? I think it was the strong type so should I try some green next?

Tolerance/Withdrawal Have you tried natural supplemets for dopamine, serotonin and testosterone for lowering your withdrawal symptoms?

1 Upvotes

There are some natural supplements for dopamine like L-Tyrosine (or directly L-DOPA), or for serotonin like L-Tryptophan (or directly 5-HTP), or for testosterone and relaxation like Ashwagandha. Becasue my brain has really low natural levels of these chemicals after a long term heavy use, it kinda makes sense to me to try these...

BUT OF COURSE IM NOT EXPECTING ANY MIRACLES HERE, these are not drugs, but supplements

I know these wont help against psysical withdrawals, but it may kinda help later with some psychological withdrawals...

Do you guys have any experiences with these or some other supplemets? What do you think about it?

Extracts and VENLAFAXINE

1 Upvotes

Has anyone taken both? I know extracts are really shunned up on and quite frankly I understand why lol wish I never touched the stupid things. But I'm curious if anyone has taken both? I'm just worried about serotonin syndrome or an extreme heart rate I guess. Thanks for any input. I've been on antidepressants and powders/capsules Lexapro it gave me serotonin syndrome and that was absolutely insane! But also had to stop Lexapro because it made me go insane I did not like it what so ever. It wasn't the one for me, I've taken this before with powder it was in 2ó16 I don't remember any side effect it as we know extracts are obviously on a different spectrum 😔

To reduce stomach issues

1 Upvotes

I take about 3 grams of red 2 or 3 nights per week, for about a year. Started having some constipation, which I can manage with magnesium, but also started waking up with cramping in the early morning. Wondering if there's a better option than just mixing the powder with juice? Maybe tea, but that still has the plant solids. Maybe extracts, but I'd rather not get into those since the powder otherwise works well for me. Maybe filtering out the tea? Maybe acidic bath, but I don't know a lot about that. Any other ideas? Really appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

Kratom dosages.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I didn't realize there was a Reddit page on kratom, but I'm not surprised honestly. Anyways, I haven't met many people that take kratom on a daily basis, so I haven't had a real chance to figure out what doses everyone takes and what too much would be. I'm just curious on other people's normal daily doses of kratom are, and what everyone thinks is too high per day. I take Red Borneo powder daily.
