I`ve been using large doses of Kratom for just over two months,at the moment i take about 25 to 30g of plain leaf a day,i have around 900g left from a large order i made.

The thing is my tolerance has shot through the roof and i don`t really get a lot from it any more,but i`m unable to stop because A, I hate the withdrawal symptoms and B,because i still have a shit load left and am unable to find the strength to stop taking it whilst i have it around.

So i have two Buprenorphine patches of 52micrograms each and five 30mg codiene tabs,so i`m thinking that after Christmas i could try and stop the Kratom by using the meds i just mentioned...Or am i just making it worse?

I`ve also got a load of Etizolam and zopiclone that i thought i would need to get through,maybe i`ve made a mountain out of a mole hill,maybe taking the Kratom has brought out the addictive personality in me and i`m just using the Kratom habit to get further mashed,probably because i have been through a very emotional crisis of late and am not very good with dealing with emotions and am self medicating.

At least i didn`t get back on the smack,at least i haven`t become an alcaholic again,but it`s not really an excuse is it?...Perhaps it`s all sent to try me and improve me,to help me grow into a better person.
 
Kratom withdrawal? :S

Perhaps..

I would just smoke some weed... In my experience alcohol helps big time with withdrawal, But you can't drink alcohol...Buprenorphine and codeine are both stronger than kratom so I think that would just be ironic to use either for quitting kratom. I'd use kratom to stop kratom, wean down to 3 or 2 mg and then come off completely.
 
I'd taper down the Kratom, cutting a couple of grams each day.

When you are at the end of the taper start to substitute using Kava and or Damiana.

Buprenorphine may or may not be hepful, but also take into account that you must not administer it untill you are in withdrawal, otherwise you will suffer precipitated withdrawal that is very unpleasant (as Buprenorphine has high affinity for opiate receptors and boots out existing opiates).

Buprenorphine will be most beneficial if you can taper down to a very low dose (say 0.1 mg a day).
