Hey guys,

I've recently started using kratom daily (between 4-10gpd) and I take a morning dose and a nightly dose. I was curious though, how do you guys break up doses? Would it be wiser to take a smaller amount 3-4 times a day instead? I use it for chronic pain relief and the GI effects are helpful (I've got an ileostomy). I've only found very irregular information on the length of action when it comes to straight kratom leaf.

Thanks for any info or personal experiences!
 
It's been along time sense I've done it. I was always taking it to bypass opiate withdrawals, So I would take a pretty large amount maybe almost 5gs in the morning. It would start to wear off after maybe 6 - 8 hours then I would try to do the same in the afternoon and then ride that to sleep. I don't know how tolerant you are and you can get sick from it. I feel like with kratoms initial onset and how it effects its better to do a big morning and then big afternoon dose. If you were doing small doses through out the day I don't think I would actually feel it. It's also nice to get the consumption part over with you are having to taste it, it can be pretty foul if you aren't doing capsules. What strain are you doing? I did the Red bali and the Red Maeng da I beleive. There are energizing stimulating ones I have less experience with.
 
For me, powdered kratom (stirred into a drink) kicks in about 20 to 30 minutes after taking it; capsules 30min to an hour after. Either one lasts me about 3 hours or a little longer.

I take 4 to 6 doses throughout the day, but never within an hour of bedtime. All kratom is stimulating to me, even the reds.

YMMV. Kratom is notorious for having a wide range of effects on different people. Also, sensitivity varies a lot, as does tolerance. I've tapered down to 18g daily from a high of 45g to 50g per day, a habit I maintained for about four years.
 
For me the euphoria part lasts maybe an hour, dwindling down to energized and peaceful for a couple hours more. But after that, I still maintain a certain level of pain killing effect for a number of hours more, with a fading sort of mild noddiness. However my dosage is general 1 tsp (about 2.4 mg), or a little less, and I don't do it daily. Sometimes I take a second 1/2 tsp a few hours after the first if just didn't get much effect.
I really am trying to keep my usage down. I generally take no more than 2 or 3 times in a week, sometimes I take a week off. This lets me keep my tolerance from climbing. I don't particularly like a much higher dose, and I prefer the Green Thai string dried stuff ( whatever that means) I am presently using. Red made me too sleepy and white just not as good. But ymmv really applies to kratom. Sometimes the effects are strong, so times it ain't much to speak of
