First Time Kratom Use for Withdrawals
Here is a message from my friend Bob who asked me to share it with you all:
I have sufferd from chronic Thoracic spine pain since my early 20's. I am prescribed Dilaudid 4mg (I use 2 per dose) and Fentynal 50ugh every 72 hrs. Every once and a while I end up short on meds (usualy end of month) due to extreme pain and my desperation to stop it! As a result I go into withdrawl symptoms...I hate those, it's not bad enough that I'm feeling sick from no meds but I also notice a severe increase in back pain, it's so severe I want to go to the ER for help. In my never ending attempt to find answers regarding relief of withdrawl I came a site that describes Kratom as a possible substitute for opiates. I wont go into details about Kratom and its chemical make up but I have read it is simular to opiate. I felt this may help my situation so I found a site that sells Kratom that looked legit (I also checked forums for good sellers) and purchased a small amount (10 grms super powder) for $xx. The day I got it I took 2 grms and made a small amount of tea, I did this just to see how I would react in my system, I didn't do it to get a buzz. I felt a slight feeling of euphoria that lasted about 1.5 hours and then it subsided. I was satisfied that my system could handle it. A week later I ran out of meds as I predicted and started getting sick 8 hours later. I figured this is the time to see if Kratom would provide relief from my symptoms. I had 8 grms left from the 10 so I decided to make a tea batch out of the whole thing. I took a Pyrex glass, put 4 oz's of water into it put it in the microwave and heated until it boiled. I then added the 8 grms and stirred. I already knew how bitter the mixture was so I grabbed some honey and added 2 tbl spoons to the tea. I then split mixture in half and drank 2oz's. After only 5 minutes I started to feel the effects, within 1/2 hour my sickness disappeared! It worked and I felt much better. I went to sleep at 12 that night feeling fine, I woke the next morning and drank the rest of my mixture (2 grms). I called my doctor and was given my scripts for the month, all will be fine, till the next time!
I have shared this experience to verify that Kratom can work to relieve withdrawl symptoms. This may vary for each person, if you plan on trying this, do as I did and test it 1st, take no chances. I am a legal drug user since I am prescribed them for pain relief, Kratom is also legal so I feel good that I haven't broken any laws as some do when they get into a med jam. I hope this will help give answers to those who inquire. I'm also glad I found this forum as it has saved me some much hated grief.
