Opioids Will this cause withdrawal?

Hello all,

I was physically addicted to Heroin for about 4 months, during which time I would insufflate approximately .3 in one sitting around 5 days per week. I am now a little over 3 weeks clean. I did a suboxone taper for the first 5 days, and only had mild WD symptoms for about another 5 days after discontinuation.

Anyways, the past 3 days I have been taking Kratom. The brand was called "Indo-bomb" or something like that, it came in powdered leaf form at 30x potency. Since I still have a decent tolerance (I'm assuming) they didn't do much; I would only experience a subtle boost in mood and I never got anywhere close to what I would call even a pseudo high, but they were enjoyable anyways.

I am driving back to my hometown tonight and will be leaving tomorrow afternoon... Obviously I have plans to score some as I know that once I leave I won't be able to get more anyways. I was planning on doing about .2 tonight and getting another .2 before I leave tomorrow for a total of 2 consecutive days of being high (I may take a day break in between just to be safe, but we all know how that goes).

My question is this; If my usage follows what I just described, will I experience WD again? I know that if It was only the H, I should be in the clear. It's the kratom use that has me worried. I'm not entirely sure how it works, although I am aware there is a cross tolerance between the two. Any advice/information would be appreciated as I really, really do not want to have to go through even the mildest of WD again.

Thanks in advance!
 
Everybody is different when it comes to withdraws, but in my experience, I wouldn't w/d at all from that amount. Kratom withdrawals aren't anything to worry about until months/years of abuse. Just try not to think about it and go about your day as thinking you are going to could cause yourself to feel as if you're withdrawing. I have a friend who does this alot. He is not addicted, and does H on occasion. He feels like he needs to have suboxone for a week or two after a ONE DAY binge. I repeatedly tell him he probably works himself up into a w/d and hes only going to make it worse, but hes stubborn and honestly believes hes w/ding. You might feel groggy and slow for a day or two, and possibly get cravings. But nothing too serious that couldn't be cured with a decent diet, maybe some exercise, and some caffeine.
