Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm going to give the UEI a shot well BEFORE I'm in WD to "test" its effects on me. I know most Kratom is stimulating in low doses, sedating in high, but different strains seem to produce different effects. I've just heard a lot of discrepancy over UEI, some stating it's definitely a stimulating variety, others stating it's definitely sedative.
Really, the ultimate thing I'm concerned with is WD relief, and like I mentioned I'm nervous to take UEI if it's going to perhaps overstimulate me during WD and add to the anxiety/sleeplessness.
So if anyone has used UEI during opiate WD, I'd definitely like to hear from you. Bali definitely worked and allowed me to get some sleep, but the amount needed is just not optimal for my tolerance, which is where i'm coming from going with the UEI. I remember reading that UEI is extremely potent and that even 1g is very active. Even with my tolerance I'd be questioning whether 5g or more of UEI is actually a good idea. I've read one report, seemingly legit, from a guy that works in the Kratom industry. He states that it's just too expensive and technically difficult to do a proper extraction of Kratom alkaloids, so most extracts including UEI are actually just laced with RC's like O-DMT (o-desmethyltramadol). What do you guys think of this statement?
Probably going to try 2g and measure the effects, but I'd definitely still like to hear from more of you about your experiences with the stuff.
With Kratom, there's SO many different products out there it's hard to know how one will work versus another. I just wish Bali was a bit stronger per gram and it'd be perfect for me. But like I said, I've heard some very good things about UEI, just not necessarily about its ability to aid in WD. I originally (when I purchased the UEI) assumed that since the UEI is much stronger per gram, it has to be much better in WD relief, but the question arose that it may in fact NOT be more helpful if it's going to overstimulate me. I suppose this is kind of a difficult question to answer and is very specific.
I'm just trying to ascertain as much information and anecdotal accounts as I possibly can. Perhaps a mod should move this to OD? I wasn't entirely certain where this topic would be most effective.
