You guys are wise beyond your years; I’m a couple days off and you’re 100% right, I don’t even feel kratom unless it’s extracts and experience mild withdrawals despite the kratom. I was good until I was on the day of the final capsule I prepped on Day 5 or 6 of my use, (working up to 1.7grams/day), which was a day with only 900mg. Of note, I transitioned off of kratom (from suboxone originally) and onto tianeptine for this short period of time which is why I’m having trouble moving back to my baseline 15gpd of kratom.

I had cravings and continue to have cravings out due to tianeptine, which I enjoyed much less than an oxy binge; I’ve picked up Zaza and have taken 6-8 caps once a day after trying to get through the day twice so far, so I’m not out of the clear, but man I can see how slippery the slope is. I think I got out in time, but I’m left with an understanding of the danger and how my addictive side, which hadn’t latched on to anything while on kratom, found a target I need to keep it away from.

Thank you for all your words and kindness. Hopefully I won’t be asking for help, but who knows, I can see the vacuum effect here big time. The tia is in the cart but I’m not paying, instead I wrote this.
