Bupe Been On Suboxone 1+ Year, Want To Take Kratom . Advice?

[kanyeknievel]

Hi

I have been on Suboxone for about a year, which I don't see why I am on it and that is why I am getting off of it. I haven't been able to before because of college and classes and always being busy, now that winter break is here I have the time off to do it.

So I already have read A LOT about Kratom and want to try it, but I don't know what I need to buy, what I should buy.. if there is a specific kind, how much, what to do with it and how long.

Basically those details on using it.

I used to take about 8mg or less a day, now I am down to about 3mg of Suboxone a day. I want to buy Kratom, but I don't really know the extent of quality and the right kind.

I don't believe I am allowed to ask about sites on here, or for someone to message me a site.. so I won't ask . It is just hard to trust the most featured google sites as the best quality. But I do want to know what strain/kind to buy for Suboxone Withdrawal specifically and how much I should buy ?

Thank you very much

I switched for sub to kratom in the past and it went very well. The kratom pretty much completely eliminated the sub w/d, but i was on a very low dose of sub when i switched. You should taper down to at least .5mg before you switch to the kratom, I'd say get down to .25mg a day. This will take a little while but trust me its worth it.

I don't know how much success you would have if you went straight from 3mg sub a day to kratom, i don't think the kratom would be as helpful. I'd suggest buying the powdered bali kratom as its the most economical strain.

You can buy gelatin capsules and fill them yourself or buy from a site that sells kratom capsules pre-filled, and its still relatively cheap. I didn't like the toss and wash method people do where you eat the straight powder and chase it with a drink. Kratom tastes pretty bad and its hard to get 4 grams+ of the powder down. I found taking capsules to be equally effective it just takes a bit longer to kick in.

I can't give you any sources though as its against the forum rules.

Jammy, what dose of Suboxone were you on when you took the switch to Kratom?

Are you off of opiates now because of Kratom?

I do believe that some premium Bali or red Sumatra or red Borneo, would be good strains, maybe with a couple grams of meang da thrown in for some kick. But honestly wait untill you are like essentially in full withdrawal before you take the Kratom, otherwise it will be blocked

I'd go for the Bali from an established site (look for reviews) and try a lower dose to start out with, maybe 4g. You can work that number up to around 7-8g if you need to, but more than that is probably excessive. Nausea is something to look out for at higher doses and is why I recommend to start low.

Like ricearoni, I recommend gel caps as they make ingestion much simpler. I also recommend to only do this switch if you plan to stop kratom soon, because it is no use substituting kratom addiction for bupe addiction. I did that once and feel that bupe is a far better maintenance drug. Kratom has much greater side effects IME.

I got off sub rather easily after two years using kratom. I was down to 1 mg for 2 months, .5 mg for a few days, said screw it, jumped off and used around 8 grams green malay 2x a day for a week. I then felt some w/d. Don't know if it was from sub or kratom. I think I should have tapered the kratom over another week. Getting the blood level of the sub down is critical, as it's likely much higher than your daily dose due to the long half-life and the "stacking" effect. If you don't understand this concept look here. Do a search for "Real Bali" or "green malay" on Google for kratom.
