Can kratom re-spark withdrawals as easy as oxy?

I used to do opiates daily with a medium-large habit. I would need 160mg oxy to get a good high and would use probably ~1.5gH and 10-15 roxies on average in a given week. I got through the withdrawal of all that and started tinkering with oxys again. I would use about once a week(a single 30-40mg dose), but now I've noticed some very minor withdrawals beginning to return. So I want to stop the once a week oxy use. Would using kratom once a week re-spark withdrawals to the same degree? Does the fact that it hits mostly the same receptors mean it would be just as bad or does it more so come down to the level to which it hits the receptors? in which case, kratom isn't going to be as potent as oxy and the withdrawals are known to be a little easier. So if at worst, I suffer some mild kratom-level withdrawal, I can live with that consequence.

I think the latter assumption is correct. Kratom is in no way going to activate the receptor to the extent that 160 mg of oxy would. Some people will claim it can give a buzz similar to 30-40 mg of oxy, but I never was able to get that good of a high off kratom. I am sure there are people who could give you a better idea of using Kratom after a oxy habit. I did, but the Kratom wasn't my cup of tea, no pun intended(I always tosh n washed).
 
Yea I'm directing the question more like 30-40mgoxy vs kratom, same potential to cause withdrawal? I've had some awesome experiences off kratom, even though most of them were during my early days of opiate use. I think it really takes the right batch of the right strain to get you feeling good. A lot of strains just give you energy and aren't even comparable to opiates but more so energy drinks or some people claim its like stimulants(even tho I think that's a reach). Bali kratom is similar to opiates and if you get a really good batch, it will change your perception. One experience I had during my very early opiate days(so a low tolerance), I did some enhanced bali and it felt close to 60mg oxy. Ever since then, I've had a hard time replicating that experience. 30-40mg is about the closest I can get with kratom. Usually more like a ~20mg oxy experience, which is fine for someone with low tolerance.
