Opioids daily kratom, when to stop?

[scuba0095]

Been going through a serious period in my life where i could have stressed myself to the max and maybe gone into a depression or used something miled to help me get passed it on top of my perscription meds (effexor xr, wellbutrin, topamax)

Been taking kratom plain leaf daily 2 weeks now to help me get passed the days and still stay productive. No breaks right now in life is not an option. Cannot go a day without kratom right now becaues the day will just be so horrible.

How long can i do this before I become addicted to the point where it will take a long time to heal mentally? The w/d for kratom physically is mild. But after a long time users face a lingering depression that really sucks. Any experienced people in this that can help and tell me when to slowly just kick it before it can make my situation way worse?

To get off I will use my benzos, magnolia bark, phenibut to help and if i wean myself off there won't be any w/d but I worry/fear any lingering aftermath of depression/anxiety. Please help. A lot of people in life depend on me.

Coming from someone who switched an oxy habit to excpusively kratom back in 2011/start of 2012.....yeah kratom really can get you. Its not nearly as bad as being hooked on oxy's or dope IMO, but it really gets into your head and kratom is such a multi-dimensional high also imo that its hard to realize how strong it can really be, especially to the opiate-naive brain.

How long have you been taking kratom and what are your doses like?

it sounds like you are already there, if you can't go through your day without narcotics.

well yeah i am obv there because i will feel discomfort if i stop but it wont be like a life changing or a very long discomfort or lingering but there will be def a mental discomfort but again i was feeling discomfort before i started to take it again t o help out

I have been taking for 2 weeks so far about 5 teaspoons spread out during the day

From what I have heard opiates such as oxy or even perc seen like pure hell nothing like kratom, even heavy doses of kava daily will give you discomfort and depression the next day if you over do it.

If you already are feeling pyschial discomfort from stopping, every day further you use consecutivley is going make your withdrawls worse. Granted, yes kratom dependency isn't exactly a heroin addiction, so it really isn't that bad..

Everyones body different though when it comes to how fast they become dependent.

Kratom has some potential nasty side effects there is a thread on this over in the healthy living section.
