Ive been using kratom for 2-3 day binges with 34 hour breaks for about a month, before that i was using every other day for 2 months, i use 35-56 grams when i use
my question is is it ok to start using every day with lesser and lesser amounts to wean off, or will that make it worse since i take that 34 hours off usually, also what amount should i start with, is a ounce good?
im trying to lower my tolerance but its damn near impossible to stop for longer than 34 hours without it becomin unbearable, what should i do
im about to get 5 teeth removed so my tolerance to opiates needs to be low
 
I wouldn't start using everyday if you aren't already, I do think that could make things worse. I would just keep dosing at the same time as you normally would, just with smaller and smaller amounts. I haven't personally ever tapered kratom but I have been using it daily for nearly a year so it's something I will probably have to face at some point.

Interestingly, just a couple days ago I found myself in a similar situation with kratom and tooth surgery. I had some fillings put in and one of them got fucked up and put me in horrible pain constantly and I had to go to the ER it was so bad. They gave me some norco 5/325 and even 4 of them couldn't help the pain in my mouth better than a nice 12-15 gram dose (which for 2-3 hours would actually help quite a bit). Luckily I was able to get a root canal done the next day and now the pain is gone. Suffice it to say that my tolerance to hydrocodone was higher than I thought it would be. The 30mg dose I took for fun after I got the tooth repaired probably was around he same recreational and analgesic potential of a 12-15 gram dose of my Bali, maybe just a little bit more enjoyable. Keep in mind I had no tolerance to opioids at the time I began using kratom daily about a year ago.

How long do you have before the removal to taper yourself down? To be honest, you may find that kratom can help your pain better than the low dose opioids your dentist or oral surgeon will perscribe. I suppose tapering down now could only lower the amount of either drug you may have to take for pain after surgery. If the kratom or perscribed opioids aren't enough to quell the pain with the tolerance you have you may have to be honest with your perscriber and see what happens. Kratom isn't illegal in most places. But some doctors know very little about it so it may be a hassle. Good luck buddy.
