I use kratom with my opiates, to keep my use of DHC under check, have done for ages.

But a lot of people claim that kratom contains small amounts of receptor antagonists, which may blunt or block euphoria, and even cause dysphoria, while others say they are in too smaller number to affect it. I feel less euphoria, and sometimes a bit irritable, but is the reduced euphoria just down to tolerance? I can't tell... I guess I feel irritable because I'm a miserable git...

What I'd like to know, does anyone else have any direct experiences or thoughts? I would love a solid answer to this; I don't have it in me to separate the doses of kratom and DHC, I need both, it's what I'm used to.

Any thoughts would be massively appreciated. =)

 
My PM doctor is the one that told me about kratom. I am prescribed opiates among some other things from him. He has me on what most considered a small amount 5 grams in 24 hours. Been doing this for 8 months now. This was the option we went with instead of uping to a stronger opiate pain med after being gone on the same med for going on 4 years. I have personally not noticed my tolerance changing. If anything for me the kratom helped with the longevity of my prescribed medication. Bad thing is I travel a lot for work and there is a very large moment in our country to ban kratom. There are states now that it is illegal. From reading on the net it seams law makers are throwing kratom into the same catagory as synthetic marijuana and bath salts. Ridiculous

Quite refreshing to hear that your doc mentioned and reccomended kratom, but less reassuring about the bans... the fear-mongerers are always hard at work.

In my experience, I think it is always better to have opiates a little bit before the kratom, otherwise it doesn't seem to work as well...

 
This might be a silly question...is kratom in opiate family, or similar?  Does it help if taken during withdrawal? 

 
It is not an opioid--it has a very different chemical structure--it just happens to also bind to opioid receptors. There are other substance that do so that aren't opiods, salvia divinorum for one (although that also has hallucinogenic properties as well).

Menthol is another one, although a weak one.

So if it binds to the same receptors, (lock and key) does it "trick" your brain into believing those receptors are full, and therefore no opiate withdrawal? 

 
It may "trick" your brain because it is filling a similar function but it's possible that addiction is not to a particularly substance but to a particular feeling, if that makes sense. In my own experience I've found it easy to switch addictions between similar substances (meth to cocaine, and alcohol to benzos, both when I was younger).

 
I am not sure but I've heard that kratom is used not for pain but AFTER the pain. something like you need to use kratom after you have used opiates. though, I am not sure...

 
it's stupid..same thing the countries its INDIGENOUS to did when people were using it to get out of the opium houses.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
