A little bit of info:
Male 140 lb 5'9 (so im a fairly skinny guy)
Got back from work a bit earlier than usual today and out of boredom decided to try out some of the 15x Kratom I had bought a couple weeks back. The package only says 9 grams and has 10 caps in it so I assume each cap contains roughly .9 of a gram. I had tried 3 of the caps for a starting dose on the day I had bought them at the recommendation of the shop owner and only felt a slight buzz, nothing very notable in a positive or negative way. At work another time I had taken 2 in hopes it would make my job slightly less boring but I felt absolutely no effect except for maybe slight placebo. So those are the only 2 kratom "experiences" I've had. As for the valium, I got prescribed it for a tooth ache I was having from the dentist (I didn't know that qualified for a valium prescription but no complaints lol). I took one of the 5mg tabs as prescribed at night to also no noticeable effects. After doing some reading online I decided to try placing 2 of the tabs underneath my tongue about 2 days later trying to get some sort of high - mainly just made me tired
and I went to sleep early. So I'm very new to both of these substances and today just decided to try a combo of the two to kill some time because they were just right there. I dont expect anything that note worthy, but I just decided to write up what happens, so heres the report.
+0:00 - Took 4 of the 15x Kratom caps (approximately 3.6 grams) while at a gas station buying a green tea. Sitting in my car listening to some Zeppelin.
+0:10 - Still just sitting in my car, just waiting for something to happen I guess. I feel slightly off but I assume it's just placebo.
+0:30 - Drive home from the gas station - not feeling really anything still.. very slight nausea when I hit some sharper turns.
+0:50 - Laying in bed watching youtube videos and listening to music - feeling a little bit sick - hopefully that goes away.
+1:30 - Not sure how I feel. Relaxed I suppose but with a small headache.
+1:50 - Once again little to no effects, now I'm going to take 10mg of valium sublingually.
+2:30 - My girlfriend stopped by on her way home, and oddly I just wasn't in the mood for sex, so we just ate dinner and chatted and she left shortly after. She commented that I seemed tired and a little out of it - I didn't mention taking anything. I take another 5mg of valium right after she leaves.
+2:50 - Sitting on my couch watching TV - now I'd say I'm feeling something beyond a placebo effect, mild good mood, feeling slower and more relaxed, still a small headache.
+3:10 - Pretty zen, aside from this light headache I'd say I feel pretty good just in general right now. Not as intense as I was hoping for however.
+3:30 - Honestly dissapointed, I expected the effects to continue to rise for a little bit longer but everything seems to have flat lined. I wouldnt say this is really a good feeling, just slightly tired and relaxed. Not quite sure what I was expecting honestly.
+4:00 - Feeling very relaxed but tired, the fact that I'm just sitting on my couch watching movies for hours probably contributed to this.
+4:30 - Exhausted - not feeling particularly good just slow and tired. Going to sleep.
So all in all I was disappointed. Im not quite sure what I was expecting however. I dont see what all the fuss is about kratom, every time I've taken it, its either done nothing or just given me a headache/nausea. I could see why some people enjoy valium, but I probably should start taking it expecting less, I think it'd be great for dealing with insomnia or if your just laying in bed all day. This little experiment didnt alleviate any boredom and I wouldnt say its something worth my time to try again. If I do I'll try to do something more engaging or fun than just laying around my home. Perhaps I also may have just taken too low of a dose. Anyway, Im done with kratom for a while - but I'll probably keep experimenting with valium. At least until my prescription wears out. 8)
