^Sounds like a good plan. Kratom is an absolute godsend when coming off of suboxone.
Come on guys, stop talking about kratom and help this guy with his lactation and vagina formation symptoms he thinks is from taking opiates...not like this is a kratom thread. At lwest i acknowledged. TBH u should prob see a doctor
Your ignorance is astounding. I really dont understand why you think attempting to make fun of me for asking a question that quite frankly a lot of people on bluelight who use kratom regularly may be asking. It has nothing to do with vaginas, are you 13 years old? The nerve... Anyway thanks everyone else who actually answered and I will say, kratom seems like it has something which mediates tolerance somehow ( proposed NMDA antagonism? ) , but perhaps it is lost in the extracts and thats why tolerance rises so much quicker and dramatically compared to plain leaf.
How addicting is it? I mean it's going to be different from person to person but imo it is less addicting than opiates. Although I chose to use it everyday to keep me off other stuff. It's more addicting than weed in the sense that it does have a withdrawal that does suck but is bearable with other non opiate medications.
But I've given some to multiple people and I'd say 90% of them didn't enjoy it as most won't feel anything and continue to take some until they get sick. If you are eating plain leaf, it's not a really powerful drug and won't blow your socks off by any means. I think people expect more from plain leaf than it has to offer which makes it seem shitty. I can take 3-5gs and feel euphoric.
The best part of plain leaf kratom is tolerance is very forgiving, my tolerance has been pretty much the same for a year now and I can eat a lot one day and not so much the next and still have good effects.
As for the nausea, I never get stomach troubles with it. Although many do for whatever reason. I would be willing to bet making tea would eliminate any factors that might contribute to stomach pains.
I am very experienced with Ethnobotanicals. I find Kratom is less addictive than Marijuana and it is a lot better of a herbal high compared to weed.
I found it reduces your cravings to Alcohol. For example I take an Extract one night it helps me sleep, I use it for insomnia and I find I am consuming no Alcohol for the next 7-10 days.
I can compare Kratom to Vicodin. I find Vicodin a lot more of a drugged up feeling and a stronger more opiod like high. Kratom has Opiod qualities that is true but its in the Rubiaceae Plant family meaning it Truly is in the same Family as the coffee plant. The Come up on Kratom is More Euphoric, Stimulating and very smooth at times better than Cocaine because its stimulating( but has a mild nonexistent crash and quality of coke is getting worse) it relieves fatigue Mentally and Physically you feel a feeling of "cleanerness" Mentally and you feel really good. But your quite functional It doesn't cause much nausea, none at all to me in proper dosages whilst Hydrocodone at 20mg I get a bit of Nausea. And hydrocodone is a drugged up feeling I can't stand on my feet and shit and I couldn't feel functional. But on Kratom initially your quite stimulated you feel a bit of Empathy its nice at the clubs cause your up to socialize and meet up with people and you feel the empathy a bit. It is stimulating and better than caffeine at that and a very clear stimulation, Euphoric but not mind blowing Euphoria. The stimulation starts to fade and later on you feel a slight Nod, I find Kratom puts me to sleep. The Body high can be quite nice on Kratom, your muscles and joints tingle. But when Compared to Vicodin, Hydrocodone it is milder because yea you feel good stimulated but your clear functional and like your not drugged up, On high doages of Kratom people probably cant even tell your on something but with Vicodin they can . It has nice anxiolytic and Antidepressant effects.
When you say you take kratom one night do you mean one night then not again for several days/weeks or every night? If it's the latter how do you know you're not addicted?
As I mentioned your comparisons to other opiates are lost on me since I havent tried them.
Still appreciated as I got some usefull tidbits from your reply.
I used Kratom last week one day and just one day this week. I find it is less addictive and less damaging to me than weed and I enjoy Kratom more. As the Marijuana high can bring Paranoia and anxiety to some Users and it impairs your memory more and your functionality. It is more of a cloudy high Weed compared to Kratom. As I stated Kratom is a clear high, with a bit of sedation and a dreamy state but it doesn't effect motor skills memory etc like Alcohol. I dont find Kratom particularly addictive. As I said many things depend on it, Especially self control you can use it 2-3 times a month the extract or you can use powdered Kratom a couple of times up 7 times a month you won't have problems with addiction just do it max 1 a week and you'll be fine leave a few days inbetween usage the Hangovers on Kratom are mild and at times if used occasionally you experience a pleasant Afterglow from Kratom . Self Control.
I know I am not addicted because I'm not craving it too much mentally nor physically it hits me once every 2-3 days maybe I Should use Kratom but its not a strong URGE like OMG I have to, its a feeling like If I want to I can use it but I dont have to. I used it in the evening occasionally to help with Sleep and relaxation.
Vicodin, Hydrocodone I have tried and Codeine. Vicodin in higher dosages like for me its a more drugged up feeling, Nausea, Sedation, Memory loss, yea Euphoria but also Stronger Intoxication than Kratom. Kratom depending on the dosages is a mild to moderate intoxicating agent that you can enjoy.
Some food For thought though here in Europe, In my Country I can buy Codeine Cough Syrup OTC no prescription Codeine is OTC>
