kratom to help ease heroin withdrawal?

[dr katz]

So I read and heard that it helps. I smoke H, not shoot.. don't really know if that matters but in case it does I mentioned it lol. I've tried kratom a few times and it NEVER does anything. to be honest it just seems like a waste of money but maybe in just not buying good quality kratom. Does anybody know if it really helps and if so what brand and amount should I take? also, I have a very high opiate tolerance even naturally. so again, not sure if it matters to mention that but there it is. also if you're just ganna say I shouldn't smoke h, save it.

I know it should help; kratom contains mitragynine, which hits many of the opioid receptors but typically has far fewer nasty side effects (and less risk of respiratory depression) than traditional opiates. On top of that, I know a guy who wound up with a nasty opiate problem after several stints on painkillers due to football injuries; these days he's basically clean and manages his problem with daily kratom. If you've gotten all your kratom from one source, then it's possible he's selling you crap; I also don't know the relative strength of mitragynine compared to heroin, so you might need a ridiculous dose of kratom to really notice it. My advice, at least for now, would be to find a new source and then steadily up your dose until you feel something, then maintain with that and work your way down at your leisure.

Dont waste your money I bought lots of different strains from a very well sourced and trusted vender and it did nothing for me during withdrawls and I only smoked H and never had a huge habbit.

Kratom absolutely works. In fact, it is a godsend. I just came off of a 3 week IV heroin binge using kratom. You have to use the right strain from the right vendor, and you have to figure out the right dose. The Maeng Da strain seems to work very well for withdrawal. I use powdered leaf and I've been using the same online vendor for years.

You may require a 10 gram dose of powdered Maeng Da to feel the benefits. It takes some trial and error, but it's not hard to figure out. On the first day of withdrawal I was disappointed because the kratom wasn't working. Then I realized that the dose was much too low so I took more and it worked. After that, I felt 100% better.

Start with maybe 3-5 grams (on an empty stomach) of high quality, powdered Maeng Da leaf and wait about 15-30 minutes. I It depends on your level of dependency, as well. Personally, I need to take 7.5-10 grams at a time to get the best anti-withdrawal effect. Your mileage may vary.
