Was up until a couple months ago. 6-12grams 2x daily of Red Borneo. Bought in bulk and filled my own 000 capsules.
I used to use hard/IV opiates. 10+ years. I switched to good old doctor prescribed oxy’s right around the time heroin turned in to fent.
Long story, but I ended up clean, then ended up using kratom a few years later. I don’t think I was hooked on kratom, because I sure as fuck was hooked on needles and never got the urge for kratom like I got the urge for h.
But I did suffer withdrawals from kratom when I quit using it. Pretty fucking rough wd’s too. Definitely not heroin withdrawal levels but absolutely noticeable. If I skipped my afternoon dose I’d have really bad restless legs that evening. Yawns, zero energy, body aches, diarrhea, a fucking flu that would disappear when I’d pop some kratom.
At some point I started feeling that shit was gonna get worse if I didn’t do something sooner rather than later so I quit using it. Spent almost a week withdrawing then another half week getting over stomach issues related to it. I’m 45, I have teenagers, and I’ve been a fuck up my entire adolescent life and a fairly large bit of my adult life. I can’t go down that road again.
