Hello, hope I'm in the right place. Going through oxycodone wd and kratom doesn't seem to be helping what am I doing wrong?
 
Hi I took 10mg or 20mg to a total of like 8 a day. Just ran out early found a hydro 10mg this morning had a gabapentin and just took a 500mg capsule kratom which is what? Half a gram? What SHOULD I be taking? Desperate to get some energy without jitters! Thank you for reaching out!

Can someone help me with a regimen for kratom?

I can't really help you with a proper withdrawal protocol, I have no experience, but 500 mg of kratom powder is not much in and of itself even without an opioid tolerance. I'm sure you would need quite a bit more but I don't know exactly how much. Extracts, though, are totally different, you have to be more careful with them and mixing with other drugs.
Someone will come along with some more exact advice. But it also depends what you are trying to do: are you trying to get off the oxy or just trying to get by til you get more? And are you talking 8 x 10 mg oxy, or 8 x 20mg? And for how long have you been taking it?
Good luck
 
Thank you. Waiting for refill. I am a cancer patient with severe neck and back and joint pain. Sometimes 10mg or two 10's several times a day. I won't be running out again!

Been taking for a year.. just worse lately.
 
That sucks, sorry to hear that. I don't like advising people things I really don't know about but that doesn't sound like a big oxy habit. Maybe go slow with the kratom since you already took some hydrocodone and gabapentin, but 500 mg of kratom would hardly be enough to do anything for me and I don't have much tolerance. With minimal tolerance, I take 2.5 g a day for a mild buzz. I don't believe there is any OD danger with kratom powder alone but mixed with other drugs there have some reports of ODs. I can't judge to give good advice, though, sorry.
I don't know if you can use the Search function on the website as a greenlighter, by there have been a number of threads where people talked about using kratom to replace oxycodone and other options.
Good luck
 
Yeah you need to be taking a lot more kratom. Unless it's a mega potent extract or one of these 7OHM variants or w/e they are called, kratom needs relatively high doses.

I don't think even the strongest stuff is active until you take at least 2g and on an empty stomach.

Many strains will need 5 - 10 grams for good effects, so I would also suggest gradually working upwards.

You'll know when you've taken too much as you'll have an unpleasant tremor and wired feeling, and may feel sick. As long as you are gradually working up that should be the worst of any side effects of taking too much.

Hopefully you'll hit your Goldilocks 'sweet spot' before you get that point.

Oxy is a relatively strong opioid though, so I'm not sure how much use kratom will be. It will probably help at least a little bit, maybe it'll help more than that when you find the right dose and strain. Also some pregabs for a few days are likely to be very helpful too in relieving any w/d symptoms.
 
Wow, thx. Today I gave up on the royal kratom Maeng Da and started gabapentin, klonopin, baclofen, Motrin. I got it at convenience store and didn't research well prior to purchasing. The clerk whom i know well said a couple people buy it regularly. I feel like crap and need some energy without jitters. I suppose after taking the other stuff I shouldn't take any kratom?
 
I would buy the straight up leaf powder from a reputable vendor online. I wouldn’t mess with extracts or anything else vendors are manipulating. However, even my first time, with the best Kratom, I needed at least 7 g just to feel it, and I was not on anything at the time. If I were trying to knock out an oxycodone wd which all I’d probably take about 12 to 15 g several times a day. Take it on an empty stomach, and then about five or 10 minutes after it’s down have like a bagel or something with bread. That always gets rid of any nausea. Crackers and peanut butter, things like that. From there, you can slowly lower, it takes less willpower than most things to taper kratom. But I would not expect complete relief, but just use as a tool. Gabapentin is another excellent one.

I got an email from an acquaintance that was using regular Kratom leaf for years. He would take regular breaks without much issue Then he went ahead and started doing 7-OH. He claims even regular kratom leaf doesn’t touch withdrawal from 7-OH. I sort of find that hard to believe but I have no experience. But he did say his tolerance went up quick and he got to a large amount quickly.

Late I know but still wanted to thank you for mentioning the tremor... Since I had an extreme experience of that yesterday and was looking it up therefore ... I'm plagued by tremor for decades already but never before has my whole body been shaking like THAT. I was really shocked (and my colleagues as well ☠️).
It's been a combo of caffeine and Kratom plus serious stress that caused it, Ig... As an even higher dose the day before didn't do anything alike. And propranolol fixed it, btw.

Which brings me to the next question (also sorry for capturing the thread): about dosing intervals. I learned by now that it's obviously possible to dose only once a day despite being dependent on the stuff, while I used to think it lasts only 3-4 hours max - which was also my experience so far with doses up to 5 g (and WD kicking in after that every time since I'm addicted to opioids for well a year now and switched to Kratom ~3-4 days ago).

So is it the higher the dose, the longer it lasts? Or are there any metabolic products that accumulate to make 24 hour intervals possible? It's confusing me really, and I would like to make a tapering schedule that avoids WD but also quit rather fast since my stomach doesn't react well to it...
Anyways thanks again for the info above 🙏
