Did you wean off first before starting the kratom or kick for a couple days? How much kratom did you take to start? Really need some help

@@saysoda1525 I went thru a few weeks weaning off before.having to quit completely but it was still rough rough, not gonna lie. I found a high quality red vein works better than white or green.

Amazing! Glad to hear it worked for getting off hard prescription opioids! Unfortunately the FDA wants to ban this plant. Even though it’s helping people

I’m trying to kick a 10 year methadone program, did you let the opioids leave your system before you took the Kratom? Or did you take it before so it can get in your system while the opioid leaves? And help or personal experience is greatly appreciated.

I ❤️my kratom

@@texasgirl6450 yup. It's a gift from God.

@@jasonwitt3423 I agree 👍

Kratom is a nice alternative to Alcohol and drugs. It won't expand your mind, or make your forget. It won't solve severe pain. What it does, it help elevate your mood without the room spinning. Kratom will ease minor pains that are related to fatigue and inflammation. Most places that sell it are laid back, social, and will help with stress. In real theory, this is a nice therapy to use occasionally. Know your potentiators, know your limits, know what works for you, and don't forget to take time off of any therapy. These are not meant to be done in high doses for the rest of your life.

Exactly my thoughts!

He is reading notes

Stay far away please!! Your withdrawal will only be prolonged and you will be coming off whatever it was you were on plus the kratom. On top of that obviously there is an addiction issue and it can be bought on the store shelves so financially it can be a very very bad mistake believe me I know because I made that mistake.

25-35 grams is an insane dose. Don't scare others because of your misuse.

Speak for yourself . Others may have different experiences .

kratom is a double edged sword for sure....it is useful for those who are not prone to its addictive effects

I have a love hate relationship with kratom. It did help me get over the hump with quitting pain pills since those withdrawals suck. But then I was reliant on kratom and taking it daily to feel normal and not feel like shit. I just quit and am starting day 5 of quitting. I timed this strategically to get through the worst part over a period of 5 days off work.

You actually got information from the meaningless rambling from that guy???😂😂😂

@@philipcallicoat9947 We obv didn’t listen to the same video. Not understanding doesn’t equal not making sense.

15 years and you still feel good ! Awesome, its great to know that thank you. Agree "less is more" thats the way! 2 yrs use and dont want stop...

I dose about 3/4 - 1 gram per day feeling the full benefit . And so 6- 8 grams to me doesn't sound like keeping the doses low . Just spoon about a third of a teaspoon in a container of water and sip it a few times a day. This amount usually lasts me about 1-2 days . This is the only way to keep the withdrawal down to a minimum when the time comes that you may need to quit .

Jimbo Jones - hi, yes to get to the point where tolerance is not an issue is complicated. I believe if you insist on using large amounts constantly tolerance will be an immediate problem. I think that for daily use having 2 -3 different strains the body will become familiar with, and variate the intake throughout the day or every other day, with small doses below 3 grams maximum 3 times a day works best.

@@quantika72 strains don't exist, they are a marketing gimmick

Indeed! I know personally a number of people who have been helped greatly by this plant.

Love kratom . Helped me reach my goals.

I love it. But must give it breaks in-between the weak. Like 4 days off 3 days on. When in system it helps with pain. Sleep . It's a great herb or tree.

For me it's less addictive then caffeine. I have more problems with quitting coffee and even black tea. I stop taking it abruptly all the time and just feel tired and ached but that is probably because I have chronic pain.

@@jillieinTX 👍 thank you for the tip.

We know more because we didn't go to university for 6-8 yrs to get a Phd as salesmen for big pharma.

All drugs have benefits of some type, kratom is also addictive and this is a side your comment is not reflecting. It's not lying to say that there are tons of people addicted who are very much struggling with physical and psychological addiction and withdrawal

It's been a life changing medicine for many for over a thousand of years -- and that shameful organization (Mayo Clinic) has the audacity to say that it is "unsafe with no medicinal benefits."

Yuppur. My reaction to Meloxicam is ... nothing. It's ineffective for me - iboprufen is only slightly effective. Kratom, however, works for me.

Yes kratom will help with anxiety and restless leg syndrome..I highly recommend trying the capsules..the powder form is so disgusting

I'm a 68 year old great grandmother who has been responsibly consuming kratom for 6 years for help managing my chronic pain. I'm also a smoker. I have switched over to a vape, about 1 year ago, but kratom, in no way, has been helpful in smoking cessation.

The red Kratom has helped my hand pain greatly and now that my rheumatologist didn’t have anything against and I’m going to continue to take the red maybe add some white Kratom to it as well and buy from a big-time dealer. I don’t know much about Kratom but I do know there are third parties that will go in and test Kratom and the companies that pay for that are all part of some kind of association.

I agree - He's an incredible man!

All those $so called side effects, I'd put questions marks with that. I mean where is the proof? And how many ppl have actually had seizures or respiratory depression for example, cuz of kratom? Kratom is actually known not to have the respiratory despression effect like most other opiates, so that's gonna be very very rare.

Thanks for the information. Do you have a suggestion on any particular source for kratom. I'm trying to find something for hand arthritis.

@@supernova5107 I get all mine from mitragaia.com never had a problem and they ship fast. I really like the Bali Gold strain they have.

@@tired_of_u_ppl7985 If it is your first time I recommend starting with a small dose around 2-3 grams wait about 45 minutes and work up from there. I use about 5 - 7 grams daily but only in the evenings and haven't noticed any negative side effects other than it does make you just slightly itchy (which is a common side effect from opiates) and taking too much or on an empty stomach can make me nauseous and rarely I will vomit (mostly when taking waaay too much on an empty stomach). I think the only problem with long term use would be possible toxicity to the liver if you are using high doses daily or mixing it with alcohol. As far as I know scientists are still unclear as to how toxic the long term use is to our organs so I would just use precaution listen to your body. Please let me know if you have any more questions about kratom, I'd love to help.

No alcohol because you’re just getting high every day off kratom…

I was addicted to kratom for 7 yrs. They put me on suboxone. Gonna try microdosing shrooms to get off.

I just started using it to get off prescriptions. I have read dozens of articles and watched hours of videos searching for information. If you decide to start again keep a journal. Write down the time of day and your dose and anything else you want to track. I am doing that and it's so helpful. Otherwise I would be taking way too much. Good luck to you.

Bill Nye? Please don't insult the good doctor by comparing him to that uneducated huckster and shill!

I have been taking it for four years and was a raging heroin addict before that. Only ever took doses like you say during the worst withdrawal phase and got thru it almost symptom free. But five grams is already a high dose. The recommended dose is two to three gs. Less is more with kratom. Look it up. More actuallymakes it harder for the mitra to bind to the receptors. All this information is readily available. You def dont wanna be taking five grams regularly as the effects will be not fun.

@@dexikid I take 8-10 grams all the time. 5 grams doesn't do anything for me

Yep I do 10g three times for every 24 hrs, I feel like I get sick a lot easier, and possibly testosterone issues, I guess I’ve never had it checked.

Which I have to much of that and I would love to keep it that way

​@@leonidtodorovski635 Man the first month was great. I talked to everybody and i was full of energy. But it doesn't stay that way forever. Its only my opinion, but i would not increase the dosage. It can really fuck you up. Not immediately, but over time. Kratom works very well for 2 to 3 years. After that time you loose the drive and euphoria almost completly if you don't counteract this. Many increase their dosage to get the euphoria back. 30, 40 grams and more. In my opionion thats horrific. Better to take breaks from time to time. In my case it turned against me for some time. It made me unsocial and it gave me anxiety (like if you have too low sugar in the blood feeling) and jointaches. I think the constant dehydration Kratom gives you (i have to pee all the time.) flushes Electrolytes, minerals and Vitamins out of your body. like magnesium, calium/potassium, vit B1 / B12. (lack of magnesium = legpain in my case.) In the winter a lack of Vit D is even more noticable when using Kratom. Also i have almost no sex drive. Which leads me to the conclusion that its also fucks up the hormones after long usage. Like the thyroid (hypothyroidism) and maybe the testosteron. All that leads me to the conclusion that its better to use small doses. Just think about it. The pure energy you feel for 4 to 6 hours must come with a cost when taken daily. ;) Just want to be honest. BUT it also changed my relation with my body. I care more for healthy food and testing my blood to give my body what it needs. And it gave me the motivation to work on my body for the first time since my late twenties. To answer your testosterone question: I really don't know if your testosterone will be fucked up. But its likely. I know unhealthy people who took kratom and it definitely lowered their testo. (After stopping it went up immediately) And i know other who care for food and supplements who had only a bit lower testosterone. I think the point is that you have to replace the flushed out minerals. Like zink and so on. When doing that i think you can possibly manage your testosteron level. Hope that helps a bit. But again i am no expert.

Haha ... "hey... you got a purdy mouth"

I was looking in the comments for someone who said this 😂😂

@@hamzahosman_01 hahaha love it! 😆 ❤️

It can be addictive. Especially long term use. Did you get off it?

Hi Joshua! I just wanted to touch base with you because I seen your comment, and I too feel like I am experiencing the same thing which is the kratom not working anymore. I posted a comment just now about what I'm experiancing and wanted to see if I could find someone who can relate to what I posted is going on from my experiance with long term, high dose kratom use. Then I seen ur comment and I feel like ur experiance sounds yo be the closest to mine. Now, idk if you were dosing high or not but yet still, your comment touched home for me. I posted that I think my anxiety has gotten worse after time of taking kratom and that I love kratom but I fear it's causing me to have a more or just as much anxiety as when I started but ifk if that's the case or if it's just my anxiety coming back ..its hard for me to tell, because I had anxiety before I started taking kratom. Then I seen, that you said it stopped working. So my question is, is that what it is? It stopped working and thats why my anxiety is back? Just asking your opinion and for some feed back on your experience with kratom. Please, if you can respond through the comments, that would be awesome! Have a good 1.. thank for your time in reading this 🙏

Have you been rotating strains/colors? For a break, you can try to reset with javanica and/or Hirsuta, too! Look into EFT/Tapping for your anxiety, too!! SO very helpful!! If you have any questions about the above, feel free to reach out & I'll help however I can. 😊

@@malissamorgan1791 Hi Malissa sorry for the late reply I just saw this. I have successfully been off of kratom now since last commenting. I feel like kratom was my crutch for social anxiety, but once you get used to the amount you are taking in, it really feels like you are at base again in regards to the kratom buzz. Thing is, once you stop using it you realize how much you depended on it. For me, it was about 1-2 weeks of physical unease, drowsiness, and high anxiety levels. Best thing to do is replace that habit with something that gets your blood flowing like weights, walking, whatever. It doesn’t have to be much but it really helps. After those two weeks, I felt way better. I feel lighter and have more energy. As far as the anxiety goes, I have learned better ways of dealing with it ex. taking time to focus on breathing. It sounds simple but it has really helped. Anxiety seems for me like something that can’t fully be fixed, but it gets easier to deal with when you are very intentional about how you deal with it.

@@jcbanbury Yes I'm off it completely. For now. I wouldn't say the side effects were horrible on kratom, but enough to cause some concern. I was having to take it multiple times a day or I'd get yawny & start going through the beginning stage of withdrawals. I'd wake up and HAVE to take it to feel normal. Plus the hair loss and had to pee 50 times a day. The withdrawals were horrible. But it did help with depression, so idk, that's why I'd like to know if it's harmful long term on the liver & kidneys, like I've heard.

As with stopping any addictive substance there is a ninety day gray period following detoxing and withdrawal, this too shall pass.

I have experienced similar problems after long term use. I suffer from depression (the debilitating kind) so I never associate my kratom use with this occurrence. Kratom saved my life from drug addiction and chronic pain associated with kidney disease and a daredevil mentality in my youth. Recovering junky and alcoholic. Since finding kratom I have completely rebuilt my life and my outlook on the future. Let's be honest pharmaceutical treatment rarely come with zero side effects. I combat the anxiety with meditation and exercise. I stay alert and focused on my perspective, how my mind will interpret the information it receives, reminding myself to be grateful, honest, considerate and respectful. Daily review my moods and interactions with others. Did I act rude, was I being selfish? Why did I get short and passive aggressive with my coworkers today? Where is my Mind, Body, Spirit out of balance. Its work its challenging but for 18 months now life changing. I attribute all of my personal growth and development in this time period to the benefits of Mitragyna Speciosa. Kratom Marijuana and self reflection saved my life.

Every drug has benefits and risk. With informed consent, we hope to be able to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks for an individual's paticular situation.

For someone with substance use disorders or crohn's, the benefits may outweigh the risk of dependence if it improves quality of life. But I agree, people shouldn't act like there is no risk of dependence and addiction.

@@sirjohnahayfalcon my girlfriend was a non functioning alcoholic. I'm not sure if you've seen how bad that can be (organ failure) but low doses of kratom stopped those cravings and the look in her eyes no longer looks like a zombie and stopped acting like one. Depending on how much you take, you get different effects. Large amounts are known to cause sedation like the nods, so I'm not surprised. There is a difference between addiction and dependence. If you're trying to treat a disease or disorder then dependence isn't so bad if the benefits outweigh the risks. Sounds like she may have passed over dependence and into addiction in which the risks started outweighing the benefits.
