Early Withdrawal from 7OH?
I’ve been taking 7OH on and off for a month or so. Is it possible to get withdrawal symptoms after taking 20g 4 days in a row then taking a break on the fifth? I know anything is possible but does that sound probable?

Alcohol vs kratom
Believe it or not, I'm 49 years old and have never been drunk. I've actually only had maybe 3 alcoholic drinks my whole life. They were on cruises and vacations. I thought they were very disgusting. Anyways, how does the good feeling I get from kratom compare to being intoxicated? Is it completely different, or close to the same?

Kratom and kidney pain
Has anybody experienced kidney pain after using kratom? I've been taking it for a number of years and recently started having kidney pain and I'm trying to figure out where it came from my diet is limited in foods. And I couldn't help but notice that the increase in my nighttime kratom also experienced an increase in kidney pain. Was wondering if there's a correlation

Kratom alternatives
Can anyone suggest any feel-good substitutes for when you're taking a tolerance break? Kava makes me anxious but any other ideas mostly for mood enhancement?

Kratom and sleeping patterns
So to start, I've been taking kratom for a few months, and like a lot of others I use it to keep my drinking in check. One addiction for the other.
I've also always suffered with insomnia growing up, and as am adult. When I drink I can sleep, smoking weed doesn't really help. I found that kratom had COMPLETELY solved this sleeping problem for me, atleast temporarily.
It was pretty sudden, but last week kratom started keeping me up all night, no sleep whatsoever. I only take about 10-12 grams a day and I haven't switched brands or anything.
Is this just a tolerance thing ? I'm not sure if I should maybe just switch strains but doing research on kratom has turned out to be harder than i thought. Any thoughts on this? I'm hoping some of you are more knowledgeable than me

Got banned from Facebook for a week for mentioning kratom
There was a post about the opioid epidemic and how even if we get people off them what are they gonna use for pain? I said in the comment that “some people take kratom for pain relief and it does help. Some people even use it to help them get off opioids so that would be an option.”
The reason for the ban it said was “trying to promote and sell highly addictive and dangerous drugs.” I use to post about kratom and how it should stay legal a lot like 5-6 years ago but haven’t for awhile. Guess I can’t now though cause I’ll get in trouble. It’s frustrating too cause I’m sure it’s similar on other social media platforms so it’s like they don’t want us being able to defend it or tell our stories. Yet I see ads and posts talking about how kratom needs to be banned and is basically herion constantly.

Numbness when using kratom may be from vitamin deficiency
So when we use almost any psychoactive plant regularly we need more vitamins and water, especially ones that cause increased urination and kratom 100% does, im not knocking kratom and its great for so many things so please dont take this the wrong way, the other thing is kratom decreases appetite for most myself included which im ok with.
I suspect the reason i just started getting numbness in my leg when on kratom has to do with a deficiency of some sort which i will get a blood test done asap to find out.
To those saying numbness and kratom are unrelated guys use the search bar there are a TON of people complaining about this, we need to accept that they are related/connected in some way so we can solve this issue instead of pretending its something else.
If its a deficiency the solution is simple those that have the numbness and wish to continue kratom simply supplement whatever they are short on, im not saying this is the case for everyone but i have read about a couple different cases of vitamin b12 deficiency in kratom users which is proven to cause tingling and numbness in limbs.
Stay healthy out there guys, just cause you show no symptoms doesnt mean your not deficient in something, ive been using kratom daily for 4 years, hasnt been a problem til now, il update this with my test results when i know.

What is the highest daily dose you can personally take without getting an unpleasant withdrawal when stopping for more than one day?
I know this is personal. But what was the highest dose you could tolerate without getting unpleasant effects. Being in a bit of a shitty mood for one or two days seems fine to me but a runny nose, night sweats and irritability are not. I figure it would be in the 2-5g range?

Strongest Kratom similar to weed
So I stopped smoking weed I’ve been sober for 2 and half months, and I was wondering what strain of kratom can give me the same feeling as marijuana. I recently bought red vein kratom or red Sumatra and tbh I didn’t feel a thing just a slight sleepy feeling. Any recommendations on a strong kratom strain?

What's the largest amount you've ever taken? (Experience)
I remembered today, about 10 years ago, the second time I ever took kratom and recieved a psychoactive effect from it. I write this post because I tried looking through internet forums and the like to reassure myself that I wasnt about to overdose and die, but there was absolutely no information on reddit or anywhere else. A little late but hey. Now's the time. I looked over the course of 3 or 4 hours for info on extreme doses,, growing more scared when people say they cap their dose at 4 to 7 grams and I saw really no more than that. I tried about 14 grams the first day of my usage after 6 months of no opiates at all. I felt like I didn't quite receive the effect I wanted, so then day 2, I upped my dose to about 70 grams at once.
I had heard that you can't overdose on kratom, so I took it to heart. An hour later I was throwing up every 3 to 5 minutes until the point I was constantly dry heaving but couldnt stop. It hurt so bad. The nausea would subside for a minute or 2, and then come back full force. Then, I started getting the worst tracers imaginable. Imagine tripping balls and being close to black out drunk at the same time, those tracers. I couldn't really focus on amything and had to alternate between both eyes constantly depending on what part of the cycle my tracers were in. Even with 1 eye closed I still saw quadruple vision cascading outward. It would take me 30 seconds or more to read a single sentence on my phone.
While thus is going on, my body began to convulse whenever I exerted any amount of force to any muscle in my body. It took me 5 times as long to walk 10 feet as it would have normally, cause I had to firmly plant each trembling leg on the ground before I could start to transfer my energy to the next step and not wobble to a face plant. Head shaking from looking in any direction except relaxed, this never stopped or did I have a break form it for least 10 hours.
About 5 or 6 hours in, I started to calm down a little bit, thinking if I was going to die, it would have surely happened by now. The tracers became less prominent but still fully in effect, and eventually after 10 hours, the convulsions from muscle tension eased up significantly. I was still throwing up for 12 to 14 hours afterwards, and ended up with the worst hangover after I came down most of the way.
I write all this to help someone that has the same question one day. If you do like me, you're probably not gonna die, but boy will it feel like it and be terrifying. Know you're in for a long night, try to calm down as best as you can, smoke a cig or whatever you do for idle habits. If it seems like too much, go to the hospital, but if you're reading this right now, I doubt you wanna go, and you'll be alright.
Peace yall.

Hi all! I'm thinking of trying kratom for chronic pain and severe anxiety. Based on the bit of research I've done, I'm thinking of trying the red vein, specifically maeng da. How much do you recommend I start with for a single dose? In general, how does red vein kratom make you feel?
Thanks for any tips or suggestions!

Why does my sweat smell so bad when I'm in withdrawals?
First of all I shower daily and use deodorant, it's only when I'm in withdrawal and getting the withdrawal sweats. I could go on a run on kratom and my sweat doesn't stink that bad. When I don't take my dose fast enough after I wake up? The most fowl smelling sweat ever even with deodorant.

I just ordered shroom powder for better focus and mood kinda like a 'functional drink'
Will this be good to go with kratom? Somebody got experiences with mushroom powder and kratom? (NOT psychedelic).Kinda like a superfood or like I said a functional drink.I also read that the powder will be good for your bowel movement and bowel health. The powder I ordered promises no stress, anxiety and shakieness in the evening and an all in all better focus and a more awake feeling, better than caffeine and coffee.

Kratom VS MIT
I've been a pretty heavy user of plain leaf powder kretom for 7ish years. Usually around 1tbs 3-5 times a day. In the last few moths I've been taking 7oh which is fine. Through that, I've found MIT extracts and have ordered some. I'm not smart, so can somebody please tell me roughly the mg I should start at? I have a mg scale. I just have now idea lol. I take 60mg of 7oh and feel amazing. I'll take 2tsp of a green bali the same day and be feeling amazing also. I kinda want to mix the 2 together. I just don't know what a good starting mg is for MIT

Heart attack from Kratom?
Yesterday I took like 15g Kratom and when I smoked a joint in the evening my heart felt heavy. Is it exhausting for your body to take that amount of Kratom?
Also today I took 10g Kratom over the day and my heart is also feeling heavy now. I never had this from Kratom.
I have to add I got an IV paliperidon (Xeplion, Invega) medication on wednesday. Maybe you shouldn't combine those two but when taking Paliperidon/Invega in Pill form Kratom has never been an issue.
Kratom is helping me staying sober from alcohol and weed but I don't want to hurt myself with it. It makes it really easy to avoid alcohol being on Kratom.

I haven’t touched benzos or alcohol in over a month thanks to Kratom :)
Just wanted to share this cos I know there are other people looking for information on the subject. I want to show them it’s possible. The anger and amnesia from the benzos were far outweighing the temporary relief from anxiety. They even made my anxiety/agoraphobia worse, as is typical for their variety. I have a partner who relies on me for help because he’s disabled, I can’t risk losing any more of my cognitive abilities to addiction. This plant is a lifesaver.
It’s been a small struggle to resist the urge to take more, but thankfully Kratom has its naturally built-in overdose prevention and I get sick before being able to take more than 1g higher than my usual dose. Lowering my daily intake after getting up to 6gpd has been so easy I barely even notice a difference. Seriously cannot express how grateful I am for this medicine, I don’t need to take it every day (I’m already able to go a day or two without it, but coming off a near daily benzo habit means I rely on it pretty heavily still) and in the future I will aim to go long periods without taking it, before stopping altogether.
If you’re out there trying to find a way out of benzo hell and looking in the direction of Kratom, this is your sign. You won’t regret it. Save money AND save your health. The “withdrawals” (if you can even call slightly increased irritability that) I’ve experienced on the days I don’t take Kratom don’t come anywhere NEAR the WDs and rebound anxiety I would get the day after taking Valium.
For reference, I was taking 5-10mg of Valium every couple of days for about 3 months. It may not seem like a lot compared to the dudes popping benzos like candy, but for me it was enough to feel like I had absolutely no autonomy in my life and all I could think about was the next time I could take a benzo. Spent hours obsessing over information about benzos (admittedly I’ve switched to researching Kratom) just waiting for the next dose… My body and mind were clearly depended on the benzos and I could feel my anxiety getting worse. I’m now on 5g of Kratom once a day :)

How to pack capsules as good as the manufacturers?
I have a capsule machine, I spread powder, press, spread more powder, press down, repeat over and over again.
I am not able to fill it to the .7 that the manufacturers do. furthermore, it’s always hit or miss, some will have .55 some will have .4 resulting in inaccurate dosing. How do you guys pack those better? i hate having to pack oblates and the taste of kratom tea, it’s just more convenient to do caps
