I know I could have posted this in the Kratom megathread but wanted to hear people's answers more quickly.
I stopped using Kratom for almost 6 months and then took it again for the 1st time in 6 months about 3--3 1/2 weeks ago, and I can't believe how quickly my tolerance is rising and want to see if there's anything I can do about it like Agamantine, Cat's Claw, Black Pepper and other potentiators (I have all right now and could try them) and also see if anyone else has experienced their tolerance rise THIS QUICKLY...cause this has never happened so fast to me.
When I stopped Kratom 6 months ago I was taking 11.25 gram doses, about 3 days a week and it was causing WD.
When I started again about 3.5 weeks ago I was responding well to 3 gram doses, and even before this last weekend, 3.5 gram doses were still usually effecting me pretty well, but because Kratom is weird, some days it wouldn't and I'd take between 4--5.5 grams.
Then I took Kratom 5 days in a row last week, which I don't usually let myself do, and my last dose on Sunday night I took 6 grams and it got me REALLY high.
I took 2 days off, and started today with 4.25 grams and it had little effect.
I took another gram, little effect, then another with little effect, and now I'm on 7 grams, and still feel like this dose is weaker than 3.5 grams felt to me 2 weeks ago.
How is my tolerance rising THIS QUICKLY??
It's never gone up this fast.
Is this what people refer to as "kindling"?
I mean, my intention was/is not even to "get back into using Kratom", because I have had issues with it in the past, but just to enjoy some for a few weeks and then take another long break.
I have trouble not compulsively redosing though when my doses don't get me as high as I want.
I should also mention that this is certainly inferior Kratom to what I used 6 months earlier, and this is head shop Kratom, whereas that superior Kratom my friend is holding for me now, and I could get it from him, but my intention is not to really continue binging on Kratom for much longer.
So....has anyone else's tolerance returned THAT QUICKLY because of a 5 (or however many) day Kratom binge, and what would you suggest (other than not raising my dose more...) to get it to go back down again or at least not get any higher?
Thanks.
