Does cessation of kratom use have significant withdrawal symptoms? I used white kratom for a while, 10 years ago. I just stopped one day, I'd been mixing it with water and downing it and I just got tired of it. I wasn't using it for any purpose, just curious.
Depends. im using close to 20 grams a day so yes for me.
10 grams and under would probably super mild or no withdrawal.
kratom withdrawal is basically diet opiate withdrawal though if youre using large amounts, which i am.
i take it because it keeps me from thinking about street opiates as much
Ehhhh thats not quite that much when spread out. I wouldn't sweat it. Once you get through about the 36 hour mark, you should be doing better.
Oh now im not going to quit taking it. i need it to stay off Heroin since i was cut off my subs by an asshole of a nurse.
i was just wondering how long i can stall my doses out before going into withdrawal.
like if in going stay on this stuff id like to get down to like 7-9gs once a day
i ask because most people take 5-7gs once a day
Oh word. First of all good luck! I've quit opiates, benzos, and booze so if you ever need an ear just holler!
As to the question at hand, unfortunately, I think that's something you're just gonna have to figure out on your own. While there MIGHT be general guidelines out there, everyone's body is different and all that good stuff.
