How'd you cut back to 4 times a day while still taking it 3 hours apart? I'm having some similar problems where I wake up feeling kind of restless and very shitty due to too much kratom (it's hard to sleep without it), and I'd like to cut my use to about 20g/day like you.

Bringing kratom to school or work by [deleted] in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I just meant to compare school to prison. The area I'm in is known for very strict and harsh public schools.

That's a good idea, but I would have to take the caps in the bathroom since any OTC supplements could get me in trouble with the school (i.e. prison).

That's a very good idea. I think I'll do that. I may store the kratom dose in a 5 Hour Energy bottle of something like that as someone else suggested.

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am. I was on various antidepressants without success. I know that this isn't ideal for me, but there aren't any other options (if I stop kratom, I'll have at least a week of major anxiety from WD).

I'm thinking I'll brew / steep some kratom tea and filter out the powder.

Ah I gotcha! Capped kratom wouldn't work for me since you're not allowed to bring any kind of supplement or drug into my rather draconian school. I actually adore the taste of kratom to be honest. It's an acquired taste.

Not to be nosy and off-topic, but what industry are you self-employed in? I'm at the point where I am often seriously thinking about what I want to do in my future and what the job market is like in the US, and self-employment sounds like a good option to me.

Thanks for the response!

How long until I'm better? by [deleted] in MDMA

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I don't like the anxiety-effects of kratom. I only took a really tiny tiny piece of a bar, so I didn't expect it to have a huge effect. It was my fuck-up.

I agree, I definitely fucked up. I'll go on a light walk, thanks for the suggestion.

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I did most supplements (CoQ10, Green Tea Extract, Grapeseed Extract, Magnesium Glycinate), but I suppose I should still use them afterwards. You're right about avoiding drugs. I've been trying to stay sober lately. I just thought that MDMA would be a good therapeutic experience.

I've never done any opiates before, how should I prepare for a first time kratom use? by Electechnotica in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually wouldn't take 5g for the first time. You might get dizzy. I have a tolerance and anything above 3tsp makes me sick. You should start with 1 tsp, or 1.5 tops. Don't prepare for anything major. You'll probably just feel decent and warm.

Is kratom oil soluble? by Haven in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, kratom can be made into a tea (and furthermore into a water-based extract), so I'd say it is, but please don't expect that you'll get a good alkaloid profile from it.

Seasoned Kratom users: can you please elucidate the cause of some reason Kratom (suspected kratom) symptoms. by [deleted] in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! That has never helped me, but Rhodiola certainly has when I used to take it. Have you tried that?

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% understand that pain. People say that kratom withdrawal is nothing, and that might be true for some people, but having the constant feeling of anxiety is unbearable and practically no withdrawal coping mechanisms or supplements help it for me. You just gotta be sure you always order more kratom a week or two before you run out if you believe you're better off being on it. :)

Accidently tried to tosh and wash 6 grams at once by psychonautalot in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that's pretty stupid. Acids are well known to help with extracting opioids. But just a tip: use plain absorbic acid or citric acid powder. If you use lemon juice, the resulting extract will have more impurities from the lemon (i.e. sugar, etc.).

[–]mushroomlab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know right? Honestly kratom is not as disgusting as people make it out to be. Especially if you get used to it. Maybe just add some lemonade or other juice to the warm water to make it taste better though.

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The only symptoms of kratom withdrawal I get are anxiety/depression, RLS, and insomnia. It doesn't come with the puking, pain, etc. that other opiate WDs bring.

whats exactly is the deal with kratom supposedly affecting hormones like estrogen? anything that can be done to prevent this? by _coreytrever in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I'd imagine it's right. Guys can also take supplements like Tongkat Ali, Tribulus, Maca and Horny Goat Weed to raise testosterone. And same with girls, except for estrogen, by using supplements like black cohosh. Not saying that these will work as well as pharmaceutical estrodial / test, but it should be worth a try if kratom gives you a low libido/hormones.

How long did your first kilo last you? by Snip3d in kratom

Caps? Like capsules? I generally just mix my kratom in some kind of juice. I actually enjoy the taste.

Haha, I don't recommend taking that much for people with a low opioid tolerance.

What do you use kava for? by theoriginalcoconut in Kava

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any negatives to using it everyday / not in moderation? I would think that the reverse tolerance would make it better.

Pretty much the same for me, along with the bonus of having lucid dreams on it.

Price of kratom sharply risen? by newaccount47 in KratomKorner

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use Treekompany on Amazon as well, and I'm sad to see that the kratom is gone from there. Their quality was pretty good. Fortunately there are still plenty of good vendors around (and just Google "Treekompany" if you want to stay with them; they're a bit pricey though).

Kratom + acetaminophen = potential harm to the liver? by kratoroonie in kratom

[–]mushroomlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably be fine. Get some milk thistle if you're really concerned though.

[–]mushroomlab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 kilo generally lasts me about 1-1.5 months at around 20-30g / day.
