I just came off a 5 week binge of about 100-150mg oxy a day and I am thru all the physical withdraws...they were a bitch but i got no more sweats or RLS...thank god

Now i am dealing with the depression and the cravings...i cant go back and i happened to come across kratom a while back but never took any so now i took some and it made me feel "normal"...not high or anything...but normal enough to get out of bed and do some exercise and get around

My question is...am i opening another can of worms by taking it? is it just another type of opiate like pod tea or would this be a good thing to take for a week or two until i can get back into a workout routine and get my brain chemicals back to normal? I am not looking to get high as the kratom just makes me feel normal but does anyone know enough about kratom or have done something similar? any info would, help, thanks!

PS- I am on PAXIL for a while now and have a script of trazadone for sleep
 
Be prepared to deal with the depression and cravings for the rest of your life. I've had as much as a year off opiates before and the cravings do not fucking go away. I don't think I will EVER stop craving opiates....

that cant be true, depression for the rest of your life? were you doing Heroin and on a maintenance program with methadone or something?
 
Kratom is great for your situation but as far as getting addicted to Kratom, its very possible. Maybe you should try taking it like every other day. Kratom is addictive as other opiates but not as strong of an addiction or strength wise.

Also, I dont believe you will have the depression & what not that comes with opiates for the rest of your life unless you were a heavy heroin addict for a long time or something like this.
 
If you use the Kratom to ease yourself off the oxy should not be a problem. I would even go to lope after the kratom I get very mild wd from lope when using to wean.
