Hi beachgirlie and everyone. Read most of this thread yesterday. I see so many different uses of kratom. I know body chemistry is different for everyone, but will people chime in on best thoughts/products of kratom for easing w/d aches, occasional cravings for that evil tramp (I'm on the verge of kicking to the curb) and at the same time gives an energy boost? Should I mix a couple together or different types at different times based on how I feel? I'm on a roller coaster and need to even out, but don't want too much b3nz0 feeling. Thoughts?
Ps: if anyone knows me, today has been a much better day than yesterday!
Hi Hapgirl!
I've read a bit of your story and you have much better will power than I!! Congrats for coming as far as you have! I'm not sure if PAWS is a thing with tram WD but kratom was a life saver for me.
I discovered kratom after a detox off b@Nzos which I think is kind of comparable to trams. I didn't have brain zaps but I did have foggy thinking; insomnia; felt like every nerve in my body was jacked up all of the time. I had few "windows"when I felt ok and the symptoms were still pretty severe 6 mos off. roaring back.
I desperately did not want to go back on benzos and found kratom.
The other thing is that it helps a lot of people with depression. I've tried treating my depression with kratom only but need to take a pharmaceutical as I've struggled with chronic life long depression. It may be if the depression you have/fear is strictly tram related the kratom will help. I don't think it will hurt.
Kratom is kind of finicky...not consistent like taking a pill and feeling better 20 mins later. But, when you find a few strains that work for you, you will def know it! Sweet relief! Method of consumption is an issue for some and was with me in the beginning. I can "wash and toss" now but started out mixing with gf juice. The taste is horrendous (to me) but others can drink it without a problem.
Some people buy a cap machine and cap their own. I don't find capsules effective.
What I'm trying to point out is if you decide to go the kratom route, it might take a little practice to reap the full benefit from it. Maybe not, but try not to give up if you aren't satisfied the 1st or 2nd try. Find a few strains that treat your issues... (basically there are variations of red, green and white depending on what you need) Red strains are more sedating; green more energetic and white is kind of in between. I personally prefer Red Vein Borneo but it is important to either give yourself a break or switch strains on a regular basis. Taking a break is probably the best idea so you don't build a tolerance or become dependent. Kratom is somewhat addicting regardless of what you read or hear. That sd, it is NOTHING compared to full blown 0py/tram or b@Nzo WD unless you use extracts. Extracts are BAD news and not "natural", IMO. Stick with plain leaf kratom.
You will have to find your "sweet spot". 3 grams is enough for some; 6 for others. Too much will make you nauseous. I use 4.5 grams 2 x a day.
I do have a couple of vendors, one in particular, that I use on a regular basis and many will send you samples of different strains to try when you place an order.
I hope the legal status of kratom never changes in my state as I wish I had discovered it long ago! I've been "burning" kratom for also most two years now and have no plans to stop.
Good luck! Let me know if I can help you if you decide to go the kratom route.
. Who wouldn't want that?? Lol
