Depends, usually do it like once or twice a week, but I dose about every 6-8 hours on the days that I do take it

Only when I'm in pain and actually have to be doing something. 1-3x a month? Sometimes more if I'm unlucky.

I redose about every 2-3 hours or as needed.

Dosages (and I have a very high tolerance for opioids and such so probably not for you) are 7.5-10g initial dose and 2.5g redoses

im an Iv heroin addict. or used to be

[–] eldoom@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Well then I'd definitely start at 7.5g and work your way up. It's definitely a less addictive option than methadone.

I've never shot heroin but I did shoot a lot of meth and I've known many people who have. The fact that you're asking about ways out is monumental. It's a long hard road but you got this man!

Have you looked into using DMT or mushrooms?

4 times a day. I used to do 2x but found it harder to taper, so I divided the same dose out into 4. Last time I got completely off it I was doing 6 tiny doses a day at the end.

In my experience how long the effects last is affected by how finely ground the Kratom is. I've had very fine powder that gives a more intense but shorter lasting effect, and gritty powder that lasts 8+ hours.
