Well, I have been putting off going to the doctor for so long it's been ridiculous. I used Kratom 3 years ago to get off vicodin after double knee replacement surgery. It worked very well for that, but like any good addict I've been dependent on it ever since. Three years of daily Kratom use, 3 times a day, moderately high all the time. Before the knees I had 15 years of sobriety, and really want to get back to the freedom that went with that. I have liver damage from many years of alcohol abuse (I'm now 55), and I've been afraid to have blood tests because I'm so worried about the liver implications of kratom. I joined this forum to tell you my blood results - huge caveat these are my results and may be different for other people, but thought people would want to know. My liver function tests (all my tests) are completely normal. PHEW, but that doesn't solve my real problem, how do I get off? I'm thinking of going to a clinic for subox but that may be overkill. Anyone with any ideas on how to prevent the chills and WD of getting off kratom, please respond. I'm relieved, but I've now used up 8 of my 9 lives. :o
 
Kratom doesnt have any liver-related contraindications as far as I know. And the best way to detox is to stop whining, man up, and keep yourself healthy and as busy as you can while doing a slow taper.
 
or you could actually go to a doctor and get suboxone like you were thinking earlier, opiate addiction sucks and i wish you the best.
 
Taper down the kratom and deal with the minor WD kratom brings on. Don't get yourself on the suboxone train. Suboxone is a very powerful opiate and kratom is not. It would be like using heroin to get off of codiene.
 
How do you drink that stuff 3 times a day every day?! I will give you that it helps with WD, but after the 10th time drinking the stuff I couldn't do it any more... It just gets grosser and grosser. I can't drink it when I'm feeling okay let alone sick,,, I vomit it up.
 
Taper down. Kratom withdrawal is much easier than traditional opiate withdrawal, and doesn't last as long either. Just taper down and you should be fine. Smoke some weed perhaps to ease any pain that may come.

Good luck!
 
Thanks everyone, to answer one respondent, I don't drink it (it really is gross that way) I make capsules. I think it's as one person says, I need to "man up" and get off it. It's certainly going to be easier than oxy or vicodin withdrawal, so I should count my blessings and get it over with (and my blessings are many)
