Hello all, this weekend I took some kratom by mixing my extra strength kratom in some yogurt. Now, it did curb any opiate cravings I had (I think), I didn't really feel any more effects, I mixed in 1 tablespoon. How are you all doing it and what type of kratom are you using ? Should I maybe make the tea to feel the effects more ? I thought the first time I used it that it gave me more energy so I was dissapointed when I had it this weekend and not much happened, I expected to feel real good. I was impressed that it curbed my hydro cravings, but really, that was about all. Should I expect more, should I be preparing it in a different way and using more than 1 tablespoon ?

I tried Kratom a week or so ago for the first time but now I am using the Super Kratom powder consistently, 1.5 - 2 teaspoons (measuring teaspoon) directly and washing it down quickly. I am taking for a different reason than most here but am going to document it all for anyone interested.

I weigh around 185 I have moderate to severe pain so discontinuing hydros permanently is not a option for me. Historically my schedule would be taking 1-1.5 10/325 hydro 3-4 times a day. As we all know after awhile a tolerance will build up and 1.5 will either not last even 4 hours or will not be enough to even lower the pain at all. When it got to the point where I was having to take 3 at a time, I would stop for a fews days to a week if I could. Many times I would wait until I was out and by the time I placed another order and it was shipped, a few days had gone by and if I was really self-disciplined I would go for as many as 10 days.

What I thought I would try this time is to take Kratom for the week I would not take hydros and see how that went. I want to see if allows my tolerance to go back down while not feeling any symptoms of w/d. So far I feel alert with no fever, sweats, etc. but regarding my pain, I would say at best it takes the edge off of it.

I will continue to post and let everyone knows if it works. My goal is to not take any hydros for 5-7 days and then see if I can go back to just 3 per day.


My fingers are crossed.

I just put the super powder in some capsules and swallow. Then I don't have to choke down that horrible stuff that Never dissolves. Today I took it and had less energy than normal, so maybe the effects are like hydro in that you can build a tolerance? I don't know, but using it everyday probably isn't good. I am going to cut way back on it, and just see how I feel. Will let you all know.
Still feels better than life worrying about hydro any day of the week! Day 24 and counting!!!!!! YAY

Can anyone tell me if the Kray helps with sleep and anxiety? I have read on the boards it help with the depression but what about the other? also....how long does it last? Do you take it every 4-6 like HD?

I took my dose yesterday at 4pm and it lasted for me until the next morning....typically it seems to last 6+ hours. For the first couple of hours it is like a stimulant, like caffeine without the jitters but after 3-4 hours it much more relaxing. Can't speak to depression but think it helps with anxiety.

Hope this helps,

I have yet to use the kratom but have read on multiple websites not to use every day for a prolonged period of time. Something about tolerance was mentioned I think. It was stated that daily users for prolonged periods of time expressed withdrawl symptoms similar to those of hydro. Maybe I read this? I cannot find the damn link or I would post it. Ok, scratch some of what I just wrote. I've found the link. I'm sure a few of you probably already have this webpage but just in case here it is: http://www.sagewisdom.org/kratomguide.html
It does mention not to take kratom on a daily basis and such and soforth. Well, you all can read and decide for yourselves. Have ordered myself and awaiting for it to arrive so I will report back my findings as well. Good luck to all and congrats to all who are standing back up after all of this time. Take care all. -Hyena

I sure would like some input on sources for Kratom, I've found a couple of internet suppliers.

Can anyone reccomend a site for quality, price, reliability

I've hit one last snag in my tapering - horrible mornings. If I could get past this, I could be off hydro completely.

Kratom could be the answer. Ordering advise please?

Thanks - Scruffi

yes, Kramer or Souljourney, can someone please list the best site to order this stuff from? I'm going to assume you can't get it from GNC. How long does it take to receive it and is it from the US or do you have to order overseas?

I ordered mine from www.IAmShaman.com and ordered Kratom Premium Powder (Super Kratom) 24 gms. I take around 2 tsp at a time and it lasts, for me, 6+ hours. I usually just eat it direcftly but I might try the yougurt idea posted by one of the members here. Initially after taking (30 minutes) it seems to act as a stimulant. I am taking it as an experiment to see if it will lower the tolerance build-up from hydros so I can go back to taking fewer for the pain.

Good luck,

Servant

ok, I just made the 6 gram purchase for $8.99 I know it's not much, but at 2 tsp. at a time, how long will that last me?

One site lists grams, the other ounces. How can I compare prices?

Anyone know what the best bargain is?

When I decide to try it I think I will just buy a few grams to see if it agrees with me. Don't know if I would buy an oz. the first time even if they are giving you a better deal for quantity.

I got kratom from mrkratom.com. Came very quickly and seems to work well. Compare the shaman site and that one and see what you think. I also heard it's available on ebay.

I tried extra strength........made tea.....seemed to work okay.......not what I expected
so I'm tryin super strengh...

Dump 2 grams in water or OJ , mix, and drink it all down. Presto lots of energy, no crazy "head" and when all is said and done able to sleep like a baby . After about 5 days of this it is like the hydro addiction has been reversed to an earlier stage if you go back, is good for a little hydro holiday and when time comes to quit for good. < !--color-->
