Is Kratom different for me?

[sassgrass14]

So, yesterday I just tried Kratom for the first time. I always stayed away from it because of the bad things I have heard. I started at a low dose of 1.1grams and this was called full spectrum.
It seems like alot of people take it to help with opiod withdrawals? I have been using it to help because I dont have adderal right now and its crazy how it helps me!
I could see myself taking this daily just to help out my focus and energy levels.

Don't. Tolerance develops very rapidly, and the withdrawals are quite bad.

Kratom is can be very stimulating, is pro-social, etc, especially without tolerance.

It has significant diminishing returns relative to adderall. If you take it daily, it loses that magic very quickly.

I just want to find that miracle drug that doesnt require a prescription. I have read a lot of posts and I know this is not that drug. I am thinking I might be able to use it at times where I am out of adderal and really need something.
Today it helped me get some homework done, but if tolerance builds up as fast as you say then I wont be using it daily.

I think it's different for everybody.
I've never felt any worthwhile effects from kratom, at all. No matter the brand.
Yet some people swear by it, like it's dope.

Sure, I can feel it doing something, but I don't find it "stimulating" or opioid-like at all. There's no euphoria for me.
Plus when you eat kratom powder/plant, you're consuming all kinds of alkaloids & some of those alkaloids have dopamine blocking effects, which theoretically should do the opposite of "stimulate" some one.

I've gotten some OK effects from extracts, but it's still not very comparable to good opioids or adderall to me. Plus the extractions are crazy expensive. 20-50 bucks for a short 4hr high? Are you kidding me? lol

I wish kratom did anything worthwhile for me. I'll stick to tramadol, hydrocodone, bupe & heroin though.

For me, I do get a nice energized opioid sort of high...sometimes
It's kind of inconsistent, sometimes very underwhelming, and trying to overcome that by taking a higher dose just makes me nauseous. My disappointment has developed over time. I guess that must not be true for all people, though.
I've decided that it works best if I take just once in awhile

I'd keep your tolerance below 5gpd and definitely take days off every week.

That's a very conservative number, but it will all but garuntee you don't become dependent and still benefit from Kratoms stimulating effects at low doses.

Avoid extract products like shots or pills; that's what got me twisted up. Withdrawal appears to be very mild for some, unpleasant for others, and disabiling for a few like mine were

I hear powder from an online source that has been tested and cleared by American labs for heavy metals and toxins is the way to get the best bang for your buck. But it tastes like ass
