Kratom is forgivingly easy to taper IMO, compared to other opioids. In my experience, you can just remove a whole gram per dose and not feel any withdrawal. It will be even easier once you get your addies back.
Quasimoto to the rescue once again! 1 gram per day? Or per dose. So day one dose 1 5gs the day one dose two 4gs? Or one gram per week? Idk if that makes sense but let me know and I’ll elaborate. Youre epic for the help
Just take your total grams per day and cut 1 or 2 grams. Stay there for a 2-3 days*, then cut another 1 or 2 grams total per day.
You are the best… Talk about peace of mind. Just got off the phone with my doctor and again wants me on buprenorphine (due to consistency and sourcing he says) but I just know that withdrawal is hellish and long as I’ve done it. Would it be a different ballgame if I started messing with extracts or 7-oh? I’ve been dealing with unbearable nausea from the powder I’ve been tossing and washing…
Yes, they are much much worse withdrawals, and they will jack up your tolerance so much you won't feel anything from powder.
Try some ginger or a different strain/batch. The extracts also produce nausea.
Just made tea tonight. Simmered 1 tablespoon with 1/2 lemon in a pot for 30 minutes. Strained through French press then through coffee filter. Minimal nausea just need about double the dose since it doesn’t contain the powder after straining I’m assuming… red vein always feels sedating to me no matter the dose. Especially the red maeng da I just used. Is that how it works or am I just tired from my workout today…? Also would you happen to know if Amanita Mushroom would interact as I use muscimol for sleep as well but never mixed the two.
Nah, maybe 20% more. You don't have to strain it so much, as long as you get the bulk of the powder out it should reduce the nausea.
There are actually only 2 types of kratom. Red (sedating) and white (stimulating). Every strain, color, or name is just a variable ratio of those two. Green is 50/50 mix. Yellow is ~30/70. Gold is ~70/30. The rest is just marketing. 99.9% of kratom comes from Indonesia, despite all the names.
No, it won't interact with kratom. I love muscimol too.
You’re a legend. Thank you again for the info!!
No worries and interesting.. just goes to show how different we all are!
Ok for sure appreciate it again.. you’ve been very helpful
I'm going to second this - bupe seems unnecessarily strong for a Kratom detox. If I were to suggest anything other than tapering your Kratom dose it would be Lyrica or at the very most something like Tylex or Solpodol 30mg/500mgs- ideally the former (ie Lyrica 150mgs BD) if cutting the Kratom dose is too much for you.
Ugh, i despise waking up to the sweats/chills, aches and that general feeling of abject panic etc. The 300mg gabapentin will serve you well in terms of mitigating the withdrawal symptoms.
