Kratom The Kratom Megathread

Kratom erases my anxiety. I get kinda down two or three days after using, but as I'm an infrequent user (about once a week) it's not really problematic. Never had any anxiety associated with use at all.

Do you use one of the lesser stimulating strains?

I've never had any anxiety with its use either, despite what strain.

I find it great for anxiety along with is opiate effects.

Yeah, kinda knew these were the reaponses I'd get. IDK wtf happened but it was like a flip of the switch and kratom turned on me, took nearly 4 years of daily use to do this but once it happened, kratom was never the same. Funny though, as I started taking kratom because it was the greatest anxiolytic I could find that was forgiving and readily accessible, ain't so pretty anymore. I still love you you kratom <3, I'm sure I'm I ruined it from overuse.
 
Im not getting good effects kratom anymore, I think my tolerance is too high. It pretty much just keeps me out of wd these days, I only get a slight buzz when it kicks in and thats it. This sucks, kratom was such a blessing for me and now I find myself tempted to go get some heroin or some other harder drug because I cant get properly jacked on kratom any more unless I take a ridiculous dosage which is just too much plant material to swallow, plus I want to keep my tolerance low and my habit affordable.
 
Derealization? I have never really gotten derealization from Kratom.

As for being a junkie... well... I suppose. I mean, I wouldn't coin that as the correct term but you can get addicted to it yeah. Especially if other opiates were already in the picture as well.
 
I have a good bit of clean time on kratom (i tapered pretty well then c/t the rest)...... lets say i Had10 days clean, and took 2 percocet 10's... or equivalent.. (cuz I did sigh..)

It wouldnt reset my withdrawal would it... being this far after.. and not being kratom?
 
I'd say it wouldn't throw you into full wds but probably gonna have some rebound dysphoria etc negative effects- definitely will set you back mentally. Not being kratom has nothing to due with, the only thing that matters is it's an opioid and a stronger one than kratom so it's worse than taking kratom would be.
 
It may be stronger... but I never use it.. and everytime I took even 4 grams of kratom a week after clean time, it almost reset the withdrawals back to square one.. a little more anxious this morn. I really did 18 mgs last night about, and saved a pety 2 mgs for the morn. With a valium and the 2 mgs I feel fine for now... the dysphoira was there when I woke up though.
 
yea dysphoria is coming back.. but not really any other symptoms.. besides my back is a little more achey than last days... but I didnt sleep well so...


EDIT: a lot more anxiety. lol. this wasnt the best idea and set me back a little. It could be worse.

Hey, I was wondering if anybody thinks kratom could be used as a mood stabilizer. I take 100 mg of Seroquel a day now, but I want to get off because it's making me gain too much weight, no matter how little I eat. Kind of at an alarming rate. I have moderate bipolar II. When I'm not on a mood stabilizer, I go into a mixed state where I'm irritable a lot of the time. No fun. Anyway, I take kratom every other day now which has knocked out the depression I was experiencing. It puts me in a good mood even on the days I don't take any. What do you think?

Oh yeah, I've had a bunch of IV heroin habits over the years. Heroin tamps down my bipolar symptoms, but doesn't get rid of them ime. It's hard for me to tell, really, but my friend who I got high with last time around told me, "Your bipolar shit is driving me crazy!" lol.

I used to take Depakote, which worked real well until my hair started falling out (!) and I had to switch to the Seroquel.
 
Im bi polar... and kratom really sends me up and down.. even if I keep at a pretty steady dose. Also due to tolerance.. that is INEVITABLE if you use daily. You will increase dose enventually, and side effects will continue.

Then when I cut back or took a few days off.. I would get mania. Sometimes mild sometimes horrible.. and long lasting. I never would know what would happen.

I use tegretal as a mood stabilizer and it has worked really well for me. I take seroquel on top of that occasionally for sleep but try to avoid it, due to the massive munchies I get on it. Whew.

Ok so I used 2 percocets 2 days ago, and 1 yesterday... Didnt sleep well but im back on the opiate sobirety train.

edit: I used to be a heroin addict, and I totally relate to a lot of the things you wrote.. feel free to talk whenever.
 
Every other day will only work so long, unfortunately. Kratom has a powerful antidepressant effect the day after for me, but rebound anxiety/depression two days later. Tolerance will go up quickly if you do every other day, and you'll likely start getting the shitty effects.
 
I must be lucky. I have done kratom for a year. However I've done it everyday for 2 months and my tolerance has not gone up. I did have to stop once a few months ago because I started getting negative effect. But after 3 days everything's ng was as good as new.
