4 days a week? are you sure you are not physically dependent? I currently have a very low opioid tolerance, and a high dose of kratom one day can hold me over so that I can go 2 days without and feel good. but a low maintenance dose leaves me requiring another dose the following day.
the other day I did about 10 g over the course of the day plus 2 roxies and I was high for the next 48 hours and didn't need kratom till the third day
you say that you dose pretty high, are you sure the residual kratom in your system isn't just holding you over until the next dosing day?
Well yes, when I dose 4 days a week I am TO SOME extent physically dependent, but not so badly that I can't usually get through the 3 days without dosing.
That is probably due to so much in my system from other days because of how much I take though.
But this past week I had to start getting my shit together to start work again (I work in a college so I have winters off)...so I have only dosed once in the past week, 3 days ago, and I can now feel the tiredness and depression lifting.
I've gotten off it a few times now.
What I'd say is I'm LESS physically dependent at 4 days a week than one who takes it 7 days a week...and I think even less than one who takes MUCH less than me if they take it EVERY DAY.
That is up for debate, but I can't help but think that reminding your body you need a FRESH dose every day is worse than any amount left over from previous days.
I will be trying to cut back to 3 days a week, and preferably no 2 days in a row if I can resist the temptation LOL...and try to AT LEAST temporarily stop for 91 days or more within the next month (I say that number because my record was 90 days and I want to break it).
So yeah...it's a certain level of physical dependence, but I've never had more than SUPER minor RLS, and was told if you don't get BAD RLS your dependency isn't THAT bad.
I'd say that at my maximal doses I have a moderate depenency.
The worst was last month I went 4 days in a row taking my super high doses, and another 5th day in that week which is the only time I've gone 5 in a week or more than 3 in a row.
That resulted in 4 pretty damn uncomfortable days, 1 somewhat uncomfortable day, on the 6th it was all psychological, so much that doing some shit to cheer me up made the depression go away, and figured I was pretty much off it by the time I dosed on day 7...there could NOT have been much less in my system.
So yeah...some level of dependency...much less this week...but I still believe that refusal to dose more than 4 in a week...even at my heroic doses, keeps me somewhat out of the danger zone of those who just wake up and take it every single day.
Because once you've told yourself you can take it EVERY day, and your tolerance is as high as mine....yeah, there's no way that's turning out well lol...
