I went from taking Kratom twice a week to about 5-10 grams most days out of one month. Sorry if that doesn't makes sense:).
Anyways, I thought I would be fine but about day 3 I was having some minor anxiety, upset stomach, diarrhea and just feeling kinda strange. I'm assuming that this is withdrawls.

So my question here is...Has anyone had a successful taper with Kratom? If so, what was your amounts, schedule and what not.

Thanks for any help.
 
I've taken those amounts of kratom for several months at a time. I never experienced a real withdrawal. It felt more comparable to not having a cup of coffee after being a daily drinker for a long time. Headache and malaise at the worse. for 48 hours Possible rls and anxiety for a night or two. Your good to go after that.
 
I sort of thought the same thing as above...I generally take around 10 grams a day and will most often take a few days off a week and I've never experienced w/d. The only thing comparable would be mild insomnia but Kratom is a sort of sedative so it makes sense. Other than that, nothing.
 
Well there are several factors in withdrawl:
1. the amount taken per day.
2. length of use.
3. which opiate/opioid/mu agonist was used.
4. individual factors such as your enzymes and metabolism.

Generally speaking kratom is fairly weak and you've only done it for a month so you should be able to taper it easy. Try cutting down to 2/3 of you dose for a few days then 1/3 and then switch to immodium AD. You shouldn't have too much of a problem.
 
Thanks for the info. I took 2.5 grams yesterday and felt fine, minus some minor anxiety, which may not be related to Kratom WD. This morning I took1.5 grams and so far feel fine. I think I'll be okay with a faster taper, so tomorrow I'll do 1 grams and the next .5 g's.

How many days should one wait to start using Kratom again in a reasonable manner, 1 day on and 3 days off, to make sure the body is not longer addicted and tolerance is down?
 
Out of curiosity, what made you decide to stop taking kratom? It doesn't sound like you have much of a problem if you are able to go down to 2.5 grams with no issues. Of course, as others have said, kratom w/d is weak compared to other opioids. I myself don't go over 10 grams a day and haven't met many who usually do just because there seems to be a ceiling effect with kratom.
 
Ive been taking powdered leaf for about 2 years, and take around 15-20g a day, i would like to reduce my tolerance, would you guys recommend a slow or fast taper? And for how long should i taper down for? Ive got 15 Nigella Sativa softgels, do you think these could help or will they still be interacting with some of the same receptors.
 
Well...I wasn't felling that body buzz any more. Plus, I guess I just don't want to be physically addicted to something. So my plan now is to use Kratom one day on and three days off. Hopefully that will bring back the body buzz and stave off the physical addiction. We will see how it goes with my addictive personality :)
