Opioids Quitting a nasty poppy habit

So in my country, we are now in the poppy season. Not meaning that they grow all over here, but we import shitloads of Giganthemum and Hens n Chickens etc from Holland, which are then sold in flower markets (hah, even supermarkets) etc. Because of this, I have again dabbled in the devil tea (an old habit that has put me in Suboxone treatment in the past).

My toleranc has gone up very fast after more than a month of daily usage of (fresh) pods. It started out with about 20 Gig's/Jumbo sized pods, and up until recently I was doing up to 50 of them in one single dose (which of course I could make two brews off).
I do not wish another stint in a Sub programme for various reasons, so my answer to this problem was to order a bunch of kratom. The opiate WD's are godawful, but after getting 20 grams of UEI kratom in the mail, it got me thru the first four days of no opium almost painlessly (except for massive anxiety, which I am prone to).
So the first day I took about two teaspoons UEI. It worked sorta ok, meaning I could sleep. The second and third day I used four teaspoons a day, and the fifth I had about two. Then my kratom ran out, and that night (being, last night) was terrible. Shakes and sweates, hardcore chills, crazy heartbeats, extreeeeeme restlessness etc, the whole nine yards.
This continued today, albeit much worse (could hardly walk due to exhaustation, but couldnt sit still either). Until I checked my mailbox and saw that another K-Shipment had arrived. I do not want to be too dependent on strong extracts, so I had ordered only plain powdered leaf this time around.
A couple of hours ago I took ten grams of Super Sunda. It worked, but now as the night is coming on I feel the restlessness etc coming on yet again.
I have ten grams of Maeng Da and another ten grams of some new stuff, Red Kali, laying on hand. Will probably take more tonight.

My question is, I am now on day 6 clean of any "real" opiates. I have no more UEI, only plain leaf. What is in store for me right now, I was really suprised that the physical part of WD isnt through yet. Could it be the UEI delaying the withdrawal?

All the best,
PawPaw
 
If you're addicted to an opiate, and then take another opiate to mask withdrawal symptoms, you're pretty much... well, still using an opiate. A weak opiate addiction can definitely be prolonged / made worse by using strong kratom extratcs - 7-OH-Mitragynine is an opiate just like the rest - lower your doses daily, tolerate the pain, and jump off. At the jump off point, there will be even more pain, but it is necessary to reach a sober point. I'm sorry man - trust me, I'm right with you in terms of addiction / wanting to give up and go back / ''I can't do it!'' etc etc. But everyone will make it through, eventually... (Or die? :( )
 
Well the kratom thing I wanted to try out for myself since I have heard so many success stories with it-people kicking harder opi habits with it and such. So I initially thought it was a good idea, and last night I did only leaves. Day 7 now, and I just woke up. Took my leaf 10 in the evening and it's 09:15 in the morning now, with only minor chills. We'll see how it goes.
