I shared the same experience. For me, RMD is very nice for pain, energy, and mood lift. It's just an overall pleasant experience. Although I didn't use kratom for opiate WD, it was very effective afor combating sub WD.In my experience the best strain of leaf to combat opiate w/d is red meang da. Nice euphoria for me at 3 grams. Suppressed my cravings nearly 100% for about 5-6 hours. The best part was the energy boost. I was able to get up, move around, and even ride my Yamaha r1 around!
