I’m speaking from experience here too bud. I’ve been taking Kratom every day for three years for pain from a motorcycle accident. And I was once a heroin addict. Kratom hardly does anything for withdrawal. And if you took it in large enough doses to try to make a difference it would make you sick.
Since I didn’t want to go back to using opiates, I started using Kratom after the accident, and it works so well on pain that allows me to continue my work as a carpenter without prescription pain meds. But I’ve tried it many times trying to get off heroin and it might help a little bit, but its benefit is negligible when you are in full-on withdraw
Well, glad you kicked the heroin, you should be proud of that.
I appreciate it. I was a dumb kid that got in a little too deep and for about eight years I used that garbage. I’m in my early 30s now and have been clean for about five years
Man that's a long time. But you kicked it, you can live your life now, that's a heck of an accomplishment, really is.
I disagree. Dunno why we've had a different experience but whatever.
Agreed. Clean from junk for, shit, 5-6 years now. Kratom keeps me out of pain enough to not relapse, but it did not do shit for withdrawals. Took enough it made me puke trying.
Old fashioned locked-myself-in-a-room for 3 days was what did it. Wouldn't recommend, can kill you doing it that way I found out later.
Stay strong, fren.
You’re stronger than I am, I could never do it cold turkey. I can’t imagine doing that, it must’ve been horrible. I quit a few different times before finally doing it for good, and I always needed Suboxone to get through the worst parts of it. I would never take Suboxone long-term though, that stuff is fucked up. Glad to hear you’re doing good though man
