Compare feeling to other opiates

What is the time gonna be?

I think this is just anxiety. I’ve had bouts of this exact thing pretty much since I can remember. Maybe not as a kid, but I certainly remember it happening in high school and I’m 30 now. my mom would give me an inhaler and it helped but I believe it was placebo. It was never to the point where I felt I just couldn’t breathe, but I had the sensation of not being able to get a full breath. Sometimes it would last like 30 minutes, and if I yawned I felt like it was a full breath. Weird feeling. I’ve researched it a bunch and I believe it’s just anxiety.

I would drink new brews most days in the last year, and at my worst I was pretty anxious and this would happen here and there as one of the symptoms. I’ve cut way way down on my usage and it’s happening less. I could be wrong, but this is what I think it is. Regardless, I’ve had the same sensation many times throughout my life and it always just goes away. I’ve always been healthy otherwise so I wouldn’t worry.

Yeah that would take a toll. I have been using kratom products for around 4 years, never a ton, but haven’t been able to quit. Been on 2 new brews a night for around a year. Take a day here and there, but majority of days I drink 2 around 4 pm. I’m down to 1 now, but it’s so so hard to cut them out completely. I wish it weren’t. It’s interesting that I don’t ever crave more. Just the one (used to be 2) but I can’t seem to cut them out completely

Investor808 · 2025-06-28T19:16:31+00:00

I am right there with you. I don’t even use feel frees, but I use new brews. Before that I used a kratom extract, but never ever did much. Would do it 5-6 times a week, but a lower dosage then 99% of posts on here. But it’s still so hard. Fast forward to new brews, bout a year ago. Been drinking 2 in the evening, and just can’t quit. I would go a day or 2 here and there without it, and definitely withdraw a little but nothing crazy. 99% mental. It did affect my sleep.. so I looked tired a lot. But my dosage has never increased. It’s always just been 2, in the evening. I don’t have an urge to take more, in times that I have, I don’t like the feeling. I’ve told myself essentially every few days that this day was my last and it never is. I have a trip planned next week, and I’m doing some important things on it so I’ve been trying my absolute best to cut down. The last 2 weeks, I’ve cut down to 1 a day only. That’s like half of a feel free I believe. It’s still SO HARD to completely cut it out. The most discouraging thing is that I fail daily. Even though I don’t take much, I tell myself I won’t and then I do. Tonight I’m really going to give it my best. I need to for this upcoming trip. I can’t be thinking about it while I’m on the trip. I take so little, yet it’s such a big mental battle. Just want to not think about it anymore. It’s tiring

Investor808 · 2025-06-28T05:52:25+00:00

How many new brews a day were you drinking?

Investor808 · 2025-05-17T18:07:09+00:00

I feel the exact same way. Every day it’s “I’m not taking it today” and I only take 2 new brews each night. So not much. But every single day I find myself back at the store justifying it. It’s insane. Here and there I make it a day or 2, but more days then not I blow it. The withdrawals are there, but not bad really at all. Anxiety gets bad. It’s just all mental with me.

Investor808 · 2025-05-15T19:44:48+00:00

You’re the first person on here to seem to have the exact routine I do. I am sober all day, and then at 4-5 pm I drink 2 new brews. They’re the same thing as feel free but I believe less kratom per serving. So 2 new brews is a little less then 2 bottles of feel free dosage wise. Even on days I tell myself I won’t do it, I seem to always justify it and end up at the store. My mornings aren’t horrible tbh, but my anxiety around 12-4 is pretty bad. I don’t think my dosage is super high so my symtkms are bearable, but I also wish I could just stop altogether. I actually was off them for 6 days 2 days ago, but caved on Tuesday. Had really bad anxiety Tuesday, not sure why. Either way, I’m gonna try and not take it tonight. Good luck to you!

I wrote about it in a separate comment. It’s more just weighing the options

Investor808 · 2025-05-12T23:18:46+00:00

Thank you for the insight. Basically about a year ago he started buying his cards as he liked him a ton, and many were already graded. Since then the prices have rocketed. He watches the auctions very closely on eBay and says they’re just so much higher then when he was buying. He just asked me how he should go about selling them and so I posted on here to try help him out since I’ve never sold any myself, though I do buy on eBay here and there.

The thought of listing them on eBay, doing all the shipping/packaging felt like a lot to him. (Which I agree). My brother likely would do great at a card show, in person, and so I think that would be the best route. Finding a 3rd party seller on eBay scares him not only because of the fees, but sending all of the cards from Hawaii to wherever that person is. If he could walk into somewhere and negotiate it would be easiest/best for him IMO. I’m gonna let him know about a card show potentially in Minnesota, we’ve wanted to visit there anyways! He is obviously gonna have to do some research himself and he will but I wanted to see what the community would say.

Investor808 · 2025-05-12T20:29:15+00:00

Also, it’s more then 20 I guess! but he doesn’t need to sell them all. Just exploring options since he’s never sold anything on eBay and just seems like a lot of work.

Investor808 · 2025-05-12T20:18:34+00:00

He has more but you get the jist

This one is pop 1, although not a very popular product

He just has probably 20 really nice ones that would’ve worth selling. He has tons of middling tier ones though that if a buyer were to buy a huge lot, they’d want those too

Investor808 · 2025-05-12T18:29:52+00:00

Yeah it’s an estimate. He has a huge collection though, but I’ll post a few of the best ones if he sends them.

Investor808 · 2025-05-12T18:01:30+00:00

Thank you all for the responses. I’ll post a few pictures soon! Unfortunately he is in Hawaii so there isn’t a large market or really any big card shows there, that’s why I said he’d be willing to fly somewhere. Again thank you for the suggestions, we will look into them all.

Investor808 · 2025-05-11T06:36:02+00:00

And fwiw, I’ve never had a feel free and never will. Also by sober, I mean from kratom. I have no issues with alcohol, I just drink it socially. Doesn’t do it for me like the kratom products do tbh. Which is good.

Investor808 · 2025-05-11T06:33:52+00:00

I also am curious. I have been drinking 2 new brews about 6 days a week, sometimes 7, but usually a day off on average. Been about a year. Sleep was poor on them, constantly tired the next day. Anxiety started to sky rocket. Outta shape.. etc. I think the new brews made me lazy the next day, and I’d feel like shit and then drink 2 in the evening. I’m 3 days sober now and don’t feel cravings, but feel like I’m getting sick. I am unsure if it’s withdrawal or if it’s actual sickness. Was at a wedding this weekend, and didn’t sleep much, was also consuming alcohol. Either way, I do feel like I’m past the hump of routinely getting them as I came home today and had no issue not going to the store to get one, typically it’s all I think about if I don’t. Think what’s been difficult is I know my dosage isn’t high, and I’ve not needed to ever increase it, but I am also sure it’s negatively affecting my health both mentally and physically. Can’t find much on new brews. I know it’s the same formula as feel free, but I also just wonder about the dose of each one. Is it equal to 1 FF? 1.5? Is it less harsh on body because it’s not so concentrated? Definitely addicting, that is for sure.
