Greetings fellow Blers, long time lurker and once a posting member but due to having to delete my gmail account in order to stop the syncing of drug contacts. I have lost that email and cannot reset my old user ID password. O well, onto the topic.

Great things have happened in my life I am now married and have a child on the way. Papa bear does not want to be on Subs when the baby is born so I have lowered my dose to roughly 2mg of a strip pd. And have been on this dosage for several weeks now with no side effects.

My question is to any of you kratom users out there, What is a good starting dose just to stave off any type of w/d effects? I have read 5grams,3g just dont know what would be a dose equivelent of 2mg of bupe?? And what would be a good ammount to titrate with if need be??
Also do they make gel caps bigger than 00? double aught?

Thank you kindly for any information that you may have.
 
I am in the same position as you, I was doing 2mg of subs and just got my kratom in the mail about 3 days ago. When you get kratom make sure you get the bali strain, bc they say it's the best for opioid WD's.
Today was the first day I did it, they say to use scales because every batch can have different weight when using a teaspoon. I am doing 5 grams every 4 hours, and believe me after about 3 hours, I start to feel the WD's creeping back. I put it in OJ w/ pulp, the thicker the juice the better it will mask the texture and taste. I shake it in a bottle about half full of juice and chug it down, have to do it on an empty stomach, which can be hard trying to time the last time you ate with the next time you have to do the kratom, they say to wait 2 hours after eating before dosing.
I can say it does take away the WD for the most part, but you can become addicted to the kratom as well. So you may want to do a taper with it unless you just want to be on kratom forever too.
I quit Subs about a year ago and did not do any for 3 weeks....and still had such bad WD's that I ended up going back on them. So my thought with the Kratom is that I need to use it for at least a month so I can get past the sub detox, then I am going to taper over 2 weeks.
 
Also add a little bit from me, I am getting of subs because me and my husband want to have a baby. It's interesting that we find ourselves in very similar situation :)
 
First off, before switching to kratom, you'll want to get down to as low of a dose as bupe as you can, just as you would if not switching to anything and just stopping. It'll make the kratom help much more.

That being said, the type of kratom you have also plays a role as their is some very potent stuff out there.. and some very shitty stuff as well. But, you should always start low and gauge how the kratom is affecting you. I had a good buddy of mine who just used kratom to detox from suboxone (with a lot of success actually), and the first dose he took (he was using maeng da) had him puking his guts out. Hah. So don't underestimate how strong some kratom can be.

Start with 3-5 grams or so and see how you feel. Wait a little bit, and take more, etc, etc, until you find the dosage range that works for you.
