Opioids respiratory depression with kratom

[timsul999]

First of all: first post! Hello guys.
My kratom sessions usually last 2 days with few day breaks in between because of the tolerance. I found out my ideal dose when using it the first day is around 2-3 tsp (at most 9-12 grams). when I use it consecutive days, like today, I take around 16 grams. is this dangerous? I'm mostly concerned about respiratory depression, and there's really no way to tell if it's happening, kinda hard to consciously measure your breath. I feel great, though slightly dizzy and my eyes won't focus. I just care about my brain (even though i take drugs yes uh huh) and I don't wanna fuck it up by overdosing on kratom.

I assume you're using plain leaf? Those doses are perfectly safe. You're doing your body good by taking breaks both for your body and wallet. That stuff has doubled in price in the last 2 months. I won't even purchase it anymore.

My only advice is to.stag away from any extracts.

We have a great kratom mega thread here full of useful information. I highly reccomend you check it out

Just made a quick search about kratom and found 1 page saying mitragynine's respiratory depression is little like codeines.

What's the question?

Everyone is different, mostly because of tolerance. If you can stay awake and aware the whole time, youre not in danger

If you start puking and passing out for long periods of time, danger

It's just like any opiate basically...

if by plain you mean unenhanced then yes. i use the powder though, if you meant crushed leaf. i seriously don't understand how you could use this stuff every day. the tolerance curve is awful.

I agree with the fact that tolerance builds quickly. People who chase kratom highs end up using that 200x extracts and gulping 100$ bottles twice a day. Might as well go grab some dope.

I really do enjoy a 7g cup of plain leaf Bali here and there. I just make tea, strain it good and toss the leaf. Eating that crap ruins a good tasting cup of tea. Kratom + agave nectar yummy
