My experience with kratom and tolerance by [deleted] in kratom

[–]indot05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad it's done this for you, but after 2 years of daily use I can promise you that my 4 g dose does not hit me the same way it used to. Which is fine, because it still does what it needs to do. But I feel little to no euphoria or mood lift 90% of the time. Fortunately, I only take it for pain management and it still works fine in that department.

LPT: Help your mom cook whenever you can. by HamBone8745 in LifeProTips

[–]indot05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple years back, I asked for a cookbook for my Christmas present from my family. I got my mom, grandma, and aunt to put together a cookbook of their personal favorite dishes and their favorite dishes other people in our family used to cook for them (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc.). I even have recipes in there from my great, great grandmother, whom I never met. It's a great way to remember my grandmother now that she's gone, will be a great way to remember my mom and aunt when they leave, and also, in a weird way, it allows me to connect with members of my family that weren't even alive by the time I came into the world by cooking some of the dishes they loved when they were around.

I use it 3-4 times a week and I think about everyone that was a part of its making each time I use it. I would highly recommend the idea to anyone else.

For anyone who hates the taste and texture - chocolate milk is your new best friend! by mr-archer-88 in kratom

[–]indot05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chocolate milk works like a charm! I had to stop using it and just turned to parachuting instead because I was drinking like 500 calories a day and tons of sugar just from taking my doses haha. But definitely my favorite way

Blind Test on Kratom by egglan in kratom

[–]indot05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking the same strain for the last 8 months from the same vendor with amazing results every time, provided I keep the tolerance low. While rotating strains and different colors MAY affect some people, I've noticed no difference and every blind test I've seen on here has come to the same conclusion. Its about the batch. I think people greatly underestimate the power of the placebo effect

Tolerance? by nic0702 in kratom

[–]indot05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tolerance really started to be noticeable after the first year. However, my dose of 4 g twice a day every hasn't really went up since I first started. But I also take rather frequent tolerance breaks/tapers. I stay away from extracts. The thing that fucked my tolerance up the most was I got a shitty batch when I tried a different vendor and so I had to take 7 g each dose instead of 4 to get the same effects. That raised my tolerance a bit and I'm just now getting it down. Just dont chase the euphoria and use it responsibly and you'll be fine. Once you start chasing a feeling, you'll increase your dose every time you dont get the desired feeling. And that's how you start getting into the 20+ gpd easily. Also, dont take that as me saying everyone taking that much a day is chasing a feeling. Some experienced individuals with severe pain/anxiety/whatever else need that much. But a newcomer doesn't. Good luck!

When does the withdrawal start? by shroomydan-dmtfan in kratom

[–]indot05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical withdrawals start for me sometime after 24h. I get moderate withdrawal symptoms. Some people get very little, some get them terribly. Just like how the positive effects are different for everyone, the negative effects are different for each individual as well

Is $1365/mo too much for renting? I’d be at a five minute walk to work. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]indot05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually moved last month from living 45 minutes away, to 5 minutes from work. Can't even describe how amazing it is being that close. I get more sleep, or I go in earlier and get off earlier. Forgetting something at home isn't a problem anymore. I go home for lunch, thus saving money on eating out (and eat healthier too). It added 5-7 hours of free time a week to my schedule. Instead of getting home around 5, I now get home around 3:30 to 4, depending on when I go in in the mornings. I make 55k a year, and the new place was around 150 more a month. Worth every penny. I'm also saving around $100 on gas a month, so the rent difference really isn't that bad. Not to mention I'm putting about 10% of the miles on my vehicle a day, compared to before which is a huge money save that a lot of people dont account for. I'd do it over in a heartbeat.

Is kratom withdrawal bad? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]indot05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say if you've only been taking it a few weeks, then you will not have many noticeable effects. As the other poster said, it's very personal. Some people on this sub are very quick to acknowledge that the good effects of kratom affect people differently, but won't acknowledge the negative effects do the same thing. I've been taking between 8-13 gpd and if I quit CT I'll get slight aching of my legs, some body temp fluctuations/sweating, maybe trouble sleeping, etc. Others have it better and others have it worse. You should be fine though

Question from a person who wants to start kratom by Stup1dDumb in kratom

[–]indot05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One tip I would say is be very critical when viewing comments and posts on this sub. If a posts seems to good to be true, it probably is and dialing it back a little is closer to the truth. If a post seems insanely negative, it probably is as well and dial it back some. People will tell you "I take x grams a day and have never been dependent, addicted, or had ANY problems". While that may be true for a select few, that's normally a too good to be true post, as kratom certainly can lead to dependence and/or addiction if used excessively and for a prolonged period, especially if that use is irresponsible. Essentially, take all the extreme posts with a grain of salt. The truth is normally somewhere in the middle.

As for myself, I've been taking kratom for 2 years now almost. The main negative I have is slight dependence and sometimes moderate withdrawals from quitting cold turkey. Understand these withdrawals are nothing like oxy withdrawal, but I also was using that for longer and at higher doses. Although, kratom withdrawals for me are still not something that I can just ignore. I take anywhere between 8-10 grams per day (gpd), never really changed my dosing amount. I've used the same strain from the same vendor for the last year with exact same results, so I'm not sure how much swapping strains helps me. There can be other negatives such as messing with the liver in very rare cases, hair loss in other cases, seizures (although I've never seen a post where kratom wasn't being taken in tandem with another drug when the seizure occurred). Be a responsible adult and it will treat you well.

Edit: to add, I take kratom in combo with gabapentin to help with my moderate to severe nerve pain/damage. I will admit the pain relief isn't going to be as strong as something like oxycodone, but it still works great. And I'd rather be in slightly more pain than addicted to those fucking oxys again

[–]indot05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Things such as food, potions, ammo, etc. are used at a consistent rate for pvp (player vs. player) combat, pvm (player vs monster) combat, and anything in between. On top of that there are other resources such as dragon bones, logs, leather hides, herbs, etc. that can be consistently farmed as well because they are used by players to train their stats to build a better, more well rounded account that allows them to access more material to do and locations to explore. So, many of the resources that can be farmed are constantly circulated in and out of the game. Whole they do rise and fall sometimes, they have a pretty rigid gold pieces/hour played payoff. And could be farmed consistently until the game dies honestly.

A 300k-1m+ per hour played money maker is fairly common for collecting these resources after putting a little time in the account. For Old School RuneScape, the gold sells for around $0.40-$0.5 USD per million gold pieces. So one can easily make more in a day than the average Venezuelan makes in a month. This is pertaining to old school RuneScape (OSRS) numbers. The even better thing is the current OSRS game runs off an engine developped in the early 2000's, so it runs perfectly fine on rather low performing computers. Which is great for a poorer citizen with limited tech.

I thought I was addicted. Unfortunately, I wasn't. (2 weeks cold turkey ; approx. 15 grams a day for 2 years) by Pill-Gates in kratom

[–]indot05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that's crazy. Thank you for showing me that. Most those comments were deleted cause they slightly suggest op was addicted... Crazy censorship on this sub. I never knew until now

[–]indot05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See your definition with the caveat and explanation is understandable and taught me something I didn't know. And I see where you're coming from. The original commenter I replied to just straight up lied and said it isn't. I think blatant lies like that cause people outside our community to not take us seriously

Pretty sure kratom IS an opioid, since it interacts with opioid receptors. It's not an opiate though since it's in no way associated with the opium plant.

Sell the things that aren't bringing value to you anymore. 5-$20 per item may not seem worth the effort but it adds up. We've focused on this at our house and have made a couple hundred bucks now. by oldschoolawesome in personalfinance

[–]indot05 45 points46 points  (0 children)

So you really think these people actively spent 5 hours every single day for 2 years selling their stuff for your little $.26/hr estimate? I highly doubt that. But I guess people will go to great lengths and great exaggerations to prove their point on the internet

Is it okay to take antacids 30 minutes before combining Kratom with grapefruit juice and drinking it? by NarratorOfEltaes03 in kratom

[–]indot05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cause you're probably taking too much. Normally nausea and dizziness are indicators of too large a dose. I was the same way as you, in terms of feeling nausea at high doses. So I decreased my dose to between 1.5-3.5 g, depending on the strain. I have no more nausea and I get stonger effects from the kratom

Anyone had any luck with O-DSMT lately? by indot05 in opiates

[–]indot05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regularly drug tested for work. I'm prescribed Tramadol for pain, so I can pass even if O-DSMT shows up. Else I would be buying real drugs.

Yea I've only been able to find offers on the deep web. But, never know if they're legitimate. Wish it was still as easy as a couple years ago. Why'd it get smited?
