For me it does generally work like that.
Of course, this is dependent on your personal bio chemistry, how high your dosage, how frequently you dose per day, and how many days in a row you've been dosing and things like that, and generally, the longer it's been since you've taken a break, the more you dose and the higher your dose, the worse and more long lasting your withdrawals will be.
I work very hard (unlike a lot of people who are fine with taking Kratom daily) not to become dependent, or if I do, to break the dependency as quickly as possible, and not to use more than 3-4 days a week, but I constantly mess up and allow my tolerance to progress, which I swore I wouldn't do this time...so now I need about 10.50mgs a dose, and I dose 2-3 times on days...so a little over an ounce a day, 3-4 days a week is what I use (I wish I could get my tolerance down but trust me, 3 months off didn't even TOUCH it, I had to stop for 11 months to reduce my tolerance...)
I fucked up and went 5 days in a row, so now is my first day of WD, and I don't feel it much yet, just slept like 12 hours last night LOL (this is typical Kratom WD for me...lethargy and constant sleeping...) and it always hits me hardest between days 2 and 4, and is usually going away on day 5 and gone by day 6.
But for those who have dosed regularly for weeks, months or years on end, Kratom WD has been known to last for a month or more.
Of course, I have never been dependent on other opioids or used Heroin, only once or twice took a bit too much Oxy/Vicodin after surgery and had a couple days of depresssion, but it's not anything like Heroin withdrawal and should be easy compared to what you are used to.
How long were you using Kratom daily, what were your doses and how many doses per day??
I'm not sure what you mean by (10mg a day/day in 5 doses)...10mgs obviously doesn't have any real effect.
But if your schedule wasn't much worse than mine, then yeah, days 2-4 some lethargy, feeling like you have a cold...probably won't last more than 5 days...but I can't speak for if you used more heavily than that.
