Kratom vs full blown H addiction

Want to hear from anyone with experience how well it worked for quitting H and fighting WD?

I kicked my massive several year run by checking in, which sucked but at the time I was out of options. Just had a 3 month run and I was able to quit using kratom only experiencing moments of WD while waiting for the next kratom dose to take effect.

I'm just curious how effective kratom would be for a user with a full blown, long term addiction?

I snorted my first Oxy in 2003 and in 2017 when I quit, I was using at least a gram of damn good boy a day.

I am a little over a year clean and I take kratom everyday and it makes me feel good. I've been up this morning for 5 hours and have yet to have any kratom. There is no way in hell I could be sitting here relaxed, surfing the web, drinking a cup of joe when I was on dope. The very first order of the day was to get well. Every. damn. day. Kratom does not impact me like that.

How much did you taper before jumping to kratom tho....I'm guessing u did tar... I don't do near a g but I do ecp and there's no way kratom straight to wd would get me through it.

I defly see eventually after I taper down and off... Not from an active habit tho...

Fent is my DOC. I suspect kratom would not have helped when i was full blown. But for this 3 month run I switched to subs, then tapered the subs down to .5g before making the jump.

It wont, it defly is no where near strong enough to handle a heroin habit

It didn't really do much at all. Eased wd by like 10% maybe. I was eating half oz.s at a time Of 8 different strains reported to be opiate specific

I’m not really sure on kratom it helped a few symptoms but runny nose was still awful on it along with being freezing, but it’s great it’s helped some people escape the liquid handcuffs and subs. Try it out nothing to lose

Hey man! Kratom got me off the dope and so far has kept me off the dope! It took away practically all of my withdrawal symptoms especially the dreaded cold sweats! Now I am using a dose of 4-6mg daily for maintenance. I believe that the Red Bali strain is the best for opiate withdrawals and dosing ever 3.5 hours is best (E4H really but do it 30 minutes prior to 4 as it takes 30 min to kick in). Then as withdrawals continue to improve scale back on dosing!!

Lmk if you have any questions!!
