Kratom New to Kratom, seems underwhelming

[stevehoot]

Hi all,

Usually an oxy user, 20mg slow release prescribed but I abuse them so usually end up taking 4 - 8 of them at a time. Reasonable tolerance.

Whilst I'm in a good place having gone through WD's like I do each month, I brought some "Red Maeng Da Kratom" as pressed tablets, (each one about 1g apparently) both out of curiosity and also to help future WD's.

Have gone as big as taking 10 X 1g tablets and I'm not sure I'm feeling anything at all... Is it supposed to give optiate side effects like constipation, because I'm not even getting that.

Any thoughts? Is this due to the strain I'm using? Or due to high oxy tolerance am I not taking enough?

Or, as I fear, is it all kinda pointless and you can't really get anything out of Kratom? If so can anyone elaborate more on how it helps with WD's?

Thanks

I've never heard of pressed kratom pills myself and 1 gram sounds pretty big sized. Either loose powder or powder in capsules is all I've seen ( or extracts
In any case, it seems to me that your oxy tolerance would be too high to feel regular kratom much

80-160mg of oxy is going to take quite a bit of kratom to cover. You need to try 7-oh, plain kratom won't do much for you.

Before jumping to 7-oh, you should try just Mitragynine Extract, powder or tablets. The amount of leaf kratom you need to compete with an Oxy habit will likely just make you sick and nauseous. 7-oh is no joke, its strong and tolerance increases rapidly.
The best thing you can do is just get some Sr-17018 to reset your tolerance. You will definitely be able to feel kratom after that. Just be careful going back to Oxy after doing the tolerance reset; there is a chance you could OD unless you massively reduce your dose from what you normally take.

Agree with above. Your tolerance is way too high.

I tried to switch to Kratom from other opiates several times. Never could feel anything from it. And if I kept taking more trying to get some effect, eventually I would just get the "wobbles" and feel absolutely terrible.

Detoxed with SR-17018 a few months back, now Kratom is the only opiate I use. Take it occasionally for back pain or for some weekend relaxation and ~3 grams is perfect for a buzz.

If SR-17 isn't an option, I'm guessing you'd need to take a decent break from all opiates to let your tolerance drop low enough to get any good effects from Kratom.
