My Best Kratom Experience+ A New Perspective

I stopped doing kratom for about 2 days, and fuck the depression was bad. Yuck. I'm happy with my 6-7g, though. I am so happy I found this stuff. I can concentrate, I get all my work and studies done, and I am very productive and focused.

I have done a second glass (I make tea) and I notice that it's too much. I get sick and I feel like crap the next day. A few weeks ago, I took a break and lowered my dose, because I was feeling sick. I was feeling dehydrated and just physically ill. As long as I stick to my 6-7g and don't wander from that dose, kratom has been a godsend for me and my focus.
 
I can so relate to everything you say Lysis ,it sounds like you are just a couple weeks ahead of me in finding your right dose,and its also amazing that seems to be just the right dose for me too. I sure dont care for the tea though . Maybe you could try mixing it into a thick drink sometime and let me know what you think. I have read around the forums about people mixing it into applesauce but that doesnt sound too good to me either .
 
I tried the powder, and it didn't do as much as the tea did for me. I get the leaves crushed, so I chew the leaves after drinking the liquid. The liquid tastes horrible, but I've acquired this weird calm, relaxed feeling while chewing the leaves. It's sounds crazy, but my favorite part of my day is sitting back and chewing the leaves. Then, I study and finish my work.

My vendor accidentally sent me this powder instead of crushed leaves one time. I put some in my coffee to see how it worked and to see if it woke me up. It works OK. It does nothing for me during the day, but as a little pick-me-up in the morning, it was OK.
 
I thought I'd found utopia when I tried kratom...until the comedown.

I only took it once in a very minute dose (less than a teaspoon) with no other drugs except 5-HTP, but the side effects after it wore off were absolutely hellish. They resembled the worst heroin withdrawal I've ever read about and included cold sweats, shivering, upset stomach, severe headache, mild visual hallucinations and a feeling of malaise like the flu. This went on for a month, slowly fading until gone completely.

I read somewhere that kratom is an opioid agonist AND antagonist...maybe it caused some sort of awful withdrawal reaction? Not sure, but it was bad enough to put me off the stuff forever despite the awesome high it gave me.

Glad you enjoy it though.

Wow that sounds like a very extreme reaction lady codone,I hope there arent any others out there going through this with Kratom. I know I can feel kind of lousy in the mornings like today,which makes me think I should probably cut back a bit more. I also think I may just be staying up too late,and the caffeine and weed are certainly part of the reason for that.
 
Just to update,I took only 2 tsps of kratom last night instead of three. The buzz wasnt as intense but I still felt good. Woke up feeling bummed out today,because the weather sucked,I had nothing to do,and am running out of money. Anyhow a record collection came up which required about 7 hrs in travel time on the buses to get. - No price discussions. - I only had 1 1/2 tsps of kratom left,and I took that around 7:00 which is nearly 4 hrs ago,and I still have a mild but satisfying optiate /ecstasy buzz happening. I will probably try 3 tsps tomorrow night just to see what that will be like now that my tolerance should be lowered again.

I have come to find I can't/shouldn't dose on kratom very often, because my tolerance seems to shoot through the roof or something. About 15g on thursday, followed by about 15g on friday, followed by about 20g on sunday. After I ate 20g sunday, I barely felt it at all... :(
 
I hear ya stranger,thats why Ive been trying to cut way back on the amounts I take. I only took 1 1/2 tsps last night,but tonight I made up for it. I took 3 tsps a couple hrs ago,and the buzz wasnt quite strong enough for me tonight because my back has gotten really sore since Ive been hauling boxes of lps around town yesterday and today using a 2 wheel dolly. Therfore I decided I would go for another kratom frappacino,and used another 2 tsps,which makes it 5 tsps or about 12-13 grams tonight. This is the most Ive done in a long time,but I dont feel guilty about it,since I was hurting,and Ive been good lately. I will probably dose low tomorrow,just to bring my tolerance back down,and because I dont want to start doing large doses every day again,knowing eventually I wont feel it anyway like you said.

Just checked into another internet cafe at 12:20 because I couldnt sleep. I was starting to feel a bit tired then ate because I was also hungry,now Im not so tired ,and the kratoms kicking in a bit more too. At least I feel that Ive eaten enough today,since I didnt eat much earlier and I was starting to feel pretty weak. Definitely not a good thing if you are on kratom,or coming off it. Feelin pretty good overall then,other than the sore back. Talked to a lady friend who I met recently on the phone and we had a really short but nice talk. Anyhow I hope I can carry on the positive feelings until tomorrow when the Kratom starts wearing off,I'll soon find out I guess. Hope to get at least 5 hrs sleep tonight ,that will help for sure.
 
Kratom helped with a sort of bad (roughly ten 10mg pills a day) hydrocodone habit of 5 months. I was w/d'ed bad and luckily my special order of Kratom from my smokeshop came through a day before my hellish withdrawals came around. Unfortunately i wasn't able to purchase the stuff until i was mid-way into my w/d's, but when i did drink that bitter tasting shit it got rid of my diarrhea, shakes, cramps, sweating, etc. I [almost] felt back to normal.

A wonder drug for w/d's. Though if this drug has withdrawal symptoms I'm probably going to be in deep shit....

From the little bit i read aren't the alkaloids in Kratom tryptamines, i don't recall reading anything about its chemicals affecting the opioid receptors... i think i may be mistaken though as that makes no sense considering it hampers opiate w/d's.
 
I wish I could dose every other day or whatever and under 10g's but i'm to fucking addicted. I need 12g's 2-3x's a day or shit will not be cool.

God i miss the good effects.

I don't think any of the chemicals are tryptamines. Though they most definitely do effect the opiod receptors. Heres a list of all the different alkaloids. http://www.kratom.net/content.php?4...-Kratom-and-their-known-or-potential-activity

well I did 6 grams of kratom the other night,yesterday I felt really lousy but that may be also because I had a bad cold,but my body was hurtin all over. Anyhow last night I only did 4 grams,I felt pretty good but not much of a body buzz. I was feeling really happy still,and decided to check out some porn,found some really great sites and was at it til about 3:00 am. Anyhow today I feel remarkably well considering,no body aches at all,and a very strong feeling of contentment. It also a great day weatherwise which also helps. Tonight i will probably have another 4 gram Frappacinno.
