Kratom Works For ANY kind of opiate WD.
Hello, this is my first time writing on one of these boards. I have googled all kinds of things on withdrawals, from H, hydros, perocet, roxicet, methadone, and subooxone literally for YEARS! lol... Today I finally decided to register and give my experiences. To give a brief synopsis of what's ahead, I have to say that Kratom worked like a MIRACLE for my girlfriend withdrawing from 140mg of methadone a day habit, that she was on for many, many months... and I am currently using it to withdraw off of suboxone. Okay that's the short story to get your attention. Just know Kratom works, and I am trying to get a rehab center that is 20 miles from my house to utilize it. I plan to compile data on Kratom, that the doctors can use, instead of Suboxone or Methadone. So here goes mine, and my newly ex-girlfriend's story. If you currently take suboxone, methadone, any kind of opiate, hydro, perc, oxy, roxi, etc...and want to get off but don't know what to do....this is the post for you ....read on my friends. I am 36 yrs old. It started when I was in my late 20's when I opened up a business where I had to be on my feet all day. At first it was fine, but then after a year, the back pain became so bad, I had to see the doc. First thing he did? writes me a script for Hydrocodone 7.5/500. 30 day supply. Take 1-2 daily as needed for pain. I had taken hydros before. I was like 18 yrs old, and got my wisdom teeth out. I LOOOVVVEEEDDD it! lol. But when it ran out, I wasn't devouring the streets looking for more. Back to my late 20's. I started taking 1 hydro 7.5 every night when I got home from work because the back pain was so bad. I never took it at work, and I never ever abused it. I was dating a girl for 4 years, asked her to marry me, and we bought a $215,000 house together. (I live in NY). We lived in it for a year, before I called off the wedding and sold the house and broke up. I used to think that if I wasn't on any opiates, we would still be together? Opiates change the way you look at the world. they "change you mind". While taking the dros, I noticed I would make decisions I would never make if I didn't take them. fast forward a little bit...few years go by, and I'm still taking them. I have to now. If I don't, I can't work because the pain was sooooo bad! only difference is, now I'm buying them off the street, going from doc to doc to get scripts. the drug controlled my life. then when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I met a smoking hot 10 who enjoyed hydros just as much as I did. Her thing was back pain from 2 surgeries gone wrong. So now we are codependent on eachother. ewwww!!! fast forward....we break up...don't talk for a few months...she starts shooting H. I have now graduated from hydros to percs. I took 60 hydro 10/500's one day. the blue watsons. and the only thing that happened was I threw up for 3 hours. I'm lucky I didn't die. I've taken up to 160 mg of oxycodone at one time with little effect. this is when I knew I had to stop. my girfriend was now back in my life because she was on a methadone program. and I bought a few suboxones off the street and was taking them. We both desperately wanted off all opiates. I had read somewhere about this stuff called Krataom. So, being the nerd I am...I have my Masters of Science in biology, I researched the shit out of this stuff. And read nothing but good things. So I bought a shitload of all different kinds from a USA based company that does overnight delivery. It was a Friday, my girlfriends doctors were tapering her down from a 140mg dose of methadone very rapidly. To rapidly IMO....because she was going thru terrible withdrawals. So she gets her "take home dose for the weekend", and accidentally spills it on the rug. And it's a holidy weekend. so now she has to go 4 days with no methadone dosing. Luckily I had the Kratom I ordered. I prepared her approximately 10 grams of super Indo Kratom in a blender mixed with chocolate milk,(which actually doesn't even taste that bad), and gave it to her. Before I gave it to her she was a mess! cold/hot sweats, depression, anxiety, stomach cramps, diarehha, runny nose, eyes, yawning, creepy crawlys, etc...she was in HELL! 30 min after giving her the Kratom, she felt 100% normal. I continued to give her the Kratom every 4-5 hours until she could go back to clinic and get redosed. She eventually tapered down to 10mg of methadone, and then used Kratom for a few days to get over the next few days. then she stopped the Kratom all together. And guess what? she was fine! for the first time in literally 10 years, this girl was CLEAN
. She looked great, acted different, and was experiencing true joy. I found out a bunch of stuff that she had lied to me about when she was using and couldn't except it, so I told her I needed time alone to think and put things in perspective. She started shoothing H again
. Now she's on a suboxone maintainence program, and will be tapering off soon...or so she says. As for myself. I am on day 3 of no suboxone, but am on a steady regimen of kratom. I will take it for a week or so, then taper off it. I have to tell you. I feel fine. My suboxone habit started around 4mg and I tapered down to 1mg, then jumped to Kratom. I was on suboxone for about 1 and 1/2 years. There isn't much data on Kratom on the internet. But from my experience, it's much much much better to use Kratom to get off opiates than suboxone or methadone. And for those of you thinking Kratom is weak, think again. My ex girlfriend was shoot 2 bundles a day and then to methadone, and 10 grams of Kratom helped her. It's unbelievable. Kratom is a funny plant tho. I bought a ton of different kinds, and experimented with all of them until I found the one that works for me. I hope this helps anyone reading this. I am on day 3 and will keep everyone posted. If anyone has any questions or comments, please feel free to private email me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
