Hi all. I just started using kratom about a week ago to help with my suboxone wd's. it takes about 10-15 grams for me to get a decent effect from kratom. I just got a bag of powder maeng da x20, and this morning i took about 4 or 5 tsp. i just ate lunch, and i know its best to take on an empty stomach so i was planning on waiting a few hours and take some more, but i'm a little hesitant to take more. would i be ok to take another 4-5 tsp? thx all!
 
btw, i forgot to mention that i use the "toss and wash" method.
 
sorry to have multiple posts mods, but for some reason my "edit" function isnt working. anywho, i just noticed that i may have taken 4-5 TABLESPOONS instead of teaspoons...i didnt really notice until now (i used a disposable spoon from Wendy's lol). i'm just worried about the possible negative side effects/overdose. i heard its nearly impossible to od on, however i am taking a x20 powder, and as i said, i'm not really sure how many grams i've taken. how much would be too much??? i wish i had a scale for a more accurate dose, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

ok so my edit button is working, and i just did some research on the site which i ordered to find that the maeng da isnt a x20 extract, rather they just got a different quality maeng da which wasn't as strong as usual so they offered it at a discount price and called it "maeng da twenty". so i'm a little sketched out to say the least. i'm not really sure what to make of this...

I had a 15x extract which was incredibly hygroscopic to the extent it turned to a much easier to swallow lumpy goop after being left out. But 3-4g of that was nice, and 5+g was too much and made me feel a little sick. This probably doesnt help you dose very much given the variability of strengths, but I'd just say if you find a point thats quite nice, enjoy it before you see how far you can take it! I didn't find it was particularly POWERFUL even at a dose that made me feel sick, but I thought the same about opiates too, so its probably a learned thing.
 
ya as i said i've only been taking it for about a week, but i have noticed that i'm quickly building a tolerance. the first time i took a 10g dose twice in one day i felt pretty damn sick...really dizzy and nauseous, and insomnia. but as of late the only negative side effect i feel is slight to moderate anxiety, and slight sleeplessness. i'm just really sketched out about the whole maeng da twenty thing...i even tried to contact the supplier on the website, but havent heard back from him. the other thing is that im kinda in the dark about dosing without a freakin scale. i know the main consensus is that one tsp is about equal to 2.5g, however i have multiple teaspoons that vary in size and i dont have any measuring cups...i just REALLY dont want to overdose...does anyone know the max daily amount???
