Kratom Addiction question

:| Well now, I've used Kratom in the past and with no chance of addiction - as I was short on funds and simply bought an OZ of Bali, which lasted me about two weeks.

That was last year, and as of recently I found myself with some extra funds in my credit card, so I ended up buying a couple of ounces of Kratom. I've switched every day from using, Bali, Maeng Da, Malay and Thai. Most of the time only a 4-5g dose a day, but sometimes I will dose that once in the morning and once at night.

Now my question is, is this enough to cause physical dependence from using it everyday for a week? I'm on day 6 (Just took 4g of Malay before work, love the energy!). I have an extremely addictive personality, and I've been prescribed Benzo's for about a year now. (Alplrazolam, Clonazepam, and now Diazepam) but I know I can't break that yet. So, how long does it take to become physically dependent on Kratom?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! %)
 
Your not gonna be able to get a straight answer on this as this is something that varies person to person, I can tell you though that if you keep this up you will get addicted. Take a week off and see if you go through mild withdrawal, that's the only way your gonna find out really. Give it a break and if you wanna take kratom frequently stick to the 2-3x a week with at least 2 days in between doses.
 
If you do it daily for a couple weeks, I think you'd get dependent but that's a rough estimate. I take kratom every day now as I had a daily oxy/h habit and doing this daily is much better than that. The withdrawals of kratom are not near as bad as withdrawal from a stronger opiate, but definitely no joking matter for someone that's never experienced opiate withdrawal. I take 3-4g to start my day and 3-4g near the end. Plus smoking weed every so often helps my pain and withdrawal from the other stuff. For someone with no opiate habit, I wouldn't suggest the daily use. At most, I would use 3-4 days in a row TOPS, then take off a week(or more). Like anything, it will significantly lose its "magic" after a couple consecutive days of use.
 
My experience is as follows. I've been taking kratom for about 3 to 4 weeks strait everyday using about 5 to 8 grams a day. when I stopped for a day or two I didn't notice any withdrawals. I don't recommend using this often, the high is getting weaker and shorter rapidly regardless of how much I use.

I'm thinking about taking a break it's getting to the point where tolerance is creeping up. I'm a cheap bastard so I'll feel like shit if I have to use more than 6 grams to get high.
 
^ Please take a break, 3-4 weeks is around the time I noticed dependancy however I could've been dependant before that as I was taking kratom every day until that point, well I still am taking kratom everyday and have for years but what I mean by that is it wasn't until I took a couple days off that I noticed I was dependant. Your walking on thin ice my friend... Dose was 4-6g once daily.
 
Thanks for the responses guys! I have been able to take a couple day break, and hopefully my tolerance will go down and that magic will come back soon :D .But thank you all for the input ^^
 
It definitely varies. But in my experience, I took kratom for over a month straight until I ran out. I had no cravings or withdrawal symptoms. At worst I was a bit tired feeling and lazy for the following day or two. I was surprised. Definitely enjoy me some Kratom.

Nice thing about kratom is that tolerance drops pretty quick. At least if you do get addicted you have benzos to help. :)
