3 tsp daily spaced out 2 hrs each. Is this a fairly low dose or middle of the road dose?

Has anyone found that certain strains or certain brands of kratom make there hair fall out more or less. I had covid three months ago and started losing hair one month or so ago. Also the same time I started Kratom. Any help on this?

Hello, I’ve been taking about 3-4 doses of 1/6 or a 1/7 of Super K Kratom extract every day for two weeks. I decided that it was time to stop and switch back to capsules, but I miss the euphoria and strength of the extract. Would it be possible to continue this doseage without a crippling extract addiction?

Edit: As far as the conversion from extract to powder, how much would 1/6 of this shot be in terms of grams?

Has anyone tried the gold kratom strain? A friend suggested that, saying it would help me feel good. So, just wondering if anyone could enlighten me about it and share their experience.

I have been hearing a lot about the benefits of microdosing in general, and I am curious if anyone has tried microdosing Kratom to maintain a consistent, balanced effect without overwhelming stimulation. How has it worked for you?

Hi new user of kratom here, all my life I've battled with extrem emotional pain sensitivity. Don't want to get in details because that's not the focus of this post, but I want to avoid kratom tolerance, is there anything I can use to cycle with? I don't think stuff that lower anxiety will help because my anxiety is caused by pain and treathing anxiety just doesn't really help. I tried paracetamol and yes is great when it works but idk sometimes I just don't feel it, tried palmitoyletanolamide worked great for 1 week then nothing. So I'm out of ideas, can someone please help? please if you have to write "get therapy" restrain to writing thx

For me, probably 20g.

Thank you to everyone from the kratom and 7OH community who submitted questions! Editing nightmare, but it was a blast!

I started in 2019 after a life altering incident on October 10, 2018 wherein I had my L2 fractured and I had kyphoplasty in December ‘18. Despite the surgery being noninvasive and relatively pain free, I have flareups still got his day here in 2024.

Like I said before, started kratom in 2019. A friend of mine brought an ounce over to my place in January 2019 after I mentioned I was off the painkillers. I swear, kratom has been the best thing for my back pain since sliced bread… the Percocet and Vicodin had me loopy and unable to do basic tasks, I’d nod off throughout the day sometimes. Never had a problem with addiction to opiates but I was in really bad shape.

So since that life-changing day in which I tried kratom (red bali) it felt like I popped like two Vicodin except I wasn’t drowsy, slurring words, etc. I recall feeling emotional 🥹 that I had FINALLY found a substitute, an end (even if temporary) to my chronic daily back pain.

Today I only take Flexeril for my back. Have been prescribed this medication for over a year. It’s okay, I mean funny enough it helped me get through a nasty kratom withdrawal in 2022 and after two weeks I was back to feeling like myself- until the pain returned and I was caring for my dad and HIS knee surgery.

Sorry to ramble off tangent a bit, but I’m curious to my fellow “kratomites” who took this herb primarily for back pain and what their results were/are today. How much do you take? What method of consumption? Do you take more than one dose? Do you feel physiologically dependent? And how can I boost the analgesic effects?

I took like 8 grams of kratom 4 hours ago and now my spine is flaring up again. 5g used to be a hefty amount back in the day but now I feel like I’m chugging 14g of kratom powder and cold water bottles ritualistically. I’m worried I’ll never be able to find a solution except taking a break, but I’m not looking to take a break.

I wouldn’t wish these flare ups on my worst enemy. But I believe god or whoever you believe in gave us this all-natural, medicinal tool (just like many other herbs like cannabis, salvia divinorum— even the poppy plant) for use to consume instead of being guilt-tripped or stigmatized by other people or govt shills.

Just looking to relate with somebody here.

Thank you for reading my post and stay pain free. Namaste 🙏.

As the seasons change, I have noticed my mood tends to dip, especially in the winter months. I am exploring natural ways to stay upbeat and maintain energy levels during these times. Has anyone here used Kratom for seasonal mood shifts?

I’m on a taper from Kratom right now and I’m scared to take Norco bc I don’t want to feel sick or get an anxiety attack or anything from doing to much. However, I’m in a whole mess of pain that max Tylenol and max Ibuprofen doses after touching.

Kratom doesn’t even seem to be doing the trick right now either.

If I need to take Norco, should I wait an hour or something ?? Help me

What draws you in to buy from someone you never heard of? Over the years I've seen many new vendors and quite frankly certain vendors that we've come to know always have quality kratom. Like the old saying goes "If it ain't broke dont fix it" but even the best and your favorite vendor have come up short. Everyone's had a bad batch. So again what draws you in to try someone new? Is it something as simple as a cool label? Catchy name? Good experience with their free samples? Reviews? Please I would like to know what helps you put your trust into a new vendor? Lab tests? Thank you for reading ❤ Please leave your comments and anything else you may want to talk about?

how much should i start with? has it helped many? i don't use any cbd but i do use oxy, and some pretty strong pain meds. Just wondering what to expect. thanks!

Hey all hopefully I don't break any of the posting guidelines but I'm stumped. For context I am a 6'1 M, 260 lbs and daily weed smoker. Im new to kratom and decided to give it a try after a few weeks of research. I first tried a popular otc brand of white vein capsules found at most smoke shops (from what I've read) that also claims to be AKA certified. I started with the recommended dose of 4 caps on an empty stomach. Didn't feel anything an hour later so I took 2 more...nothing. I steadily increased to 10 caps over the next 3 days but still nothing and I ran out. I next ordered from an online vendor, again AKA certified, this time I ordered 45 capsules each of red, green, and white vein. I started with the red vein this time and decided to start back at 4 caps (.6 MG/ea) incase these were potent again nothing. I always start on an empty stomach. This morning I decided to empty 8 capsules(~5.2g) into my morning espresso and finally I kinda feel a little energy boost but I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect because I want it to work. Am I doing something wrong? Are my doses to small? Any help or advice is appreciated but I'm trying to pin down the more energetic effects rather than the pain management sleepy time side.

My reason for wanting to reset, is not for tolerance issues, but health issues. I did relatively fine with daily kratom for about a year, but now when I take it am having all kinds of issues. I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken a break for the same reason, and if so how long worked for you? My most recent break was 9 days, and it helped my tolerance for sure, and my health issues a little, but not entirely. TIA

Normally I dose every 12 hours to pretty good effect but I'm wondering if anyone has had better luck with a different schedule. Longer gap between doses? Shorter gap but smaller doses? I'm trying to maximize cost efficiency and dose effects while having the effect for the maximum amount of time (like we all are lol...)

Ive heard mixed reports about it having a bad reaction with each other, some people here on reddit have said it makes you trip on dxm? I need take nyquil because i have no tylenol on its self so i have to take nyquil for my fever. Its been 5ish hours since i had 2 drinks of whiskey and maybe 5 grams of kratom. I dont want to damage my liver either but i need a fever reducer asap

I took a shot of an extract today, one I have taken in the past and instead of the usual effects I got an ear splitting icepick headache for about half an hour followed by... Nothing. Nada. The headache went away and now I feel nothing. Has anyone experienced any similar effects? It was terrifying how quickly the headache came on and how strong it was. Definitely not a coincidence that I took a shot and minutes later my head feels like it's splitting apart... I'm kind of afraid to take any further doses until I figure out what happened.

Agmatine on off days?

So I have a schedule of using Kratom 2-3 days a week, I'd like to keep my tolerance low but when I use Agaminte together with Kratom it totally kills the effects. Is it plausable to use Agmatine on the days of the week I am not using Kratom?

Hey everyone, my Kratom use is being used against me in court and child custody. The X is framing Kratom as an opioid and that I'm addicted to it and it's mind altering so dangerous to use while in the presence of my children.

I need official stats presenting the positive/safe side of Kratom to present in my case.

I saw testimony of a doctor in an official capacity a long time ago. She was testifying about Kratom's safety and effectiveness in a senate/congress setting. Can't find it now

Can anyone direct me to material that would help show that K is safe and effective?

Best way to responsibly dose?

Longer read so if you want a story, stick around.

I’ve battled anxiety for most of my life, I’ve toughed it out year after year. I on and off smoked weed, and used Xanax for really tough days. It’s been years since I smoked weed and a while since I’ve used Xanax. When using Xanax I knew the consequences of getting addicted, I could’ve easily taken it everyday to feel normal but I didn’t. Over the years I was able to get out of my own head and gain control over my anxiety. Although this is great, my anxiety being gone led to what I think was the true culprit of my anxiety in the first place: Depression. I haven’t needed weed or Xanax since my anxiety was controlled (I also don’t drink, at all) but the depression stayed. I take care of myself, workout, eat correctly, yada yada. I’ve since tried a number of ssri’s and the like with no help. The depression is an annoyance to me because I know how I “should” feel, I just can’t get over it. Lack of motivation, fatigue, disassociation are my worst symptoms.

This leads to Kratom. I decided to give it a shot a couple times. Red Bali, 2 grams. It’s helped tremendously in alot of aspects. Being social, being motivated, focused, as well as pain relief (I have 3 herniated discs in my neck which I take nothing for.) We all know the honeymoon phase with things and placebo, but I know my mind enough to know what I’m feeling is “real”.

I want to use Kratom as a tool to battle my depression without becoming dependent. Is there any advice or protocols/ articles written for best practices for dosing/ frequency for using it for depression?

Sorry for the book, I probably could’ve made this a lot shorter.

Hello, hope y'all are well. I have recently been working on recovering from a vicious opioid dependency. And we'll, the option I went with was methadone. Now , no issues with this except for maybe it reminds me now of a medium to low dose of my last drug of choice... Which is why I am working on lowering the amount of methadone taken. Now, as I space out methadone I have used kratom to ease the grogginess and uncomfortable feeling of anxiety I experienced. Even taking kratom just for easing cravings or anxiety after the methadone wears off. Before I started tapering I noticed that kratom still affects me. And now tapering I noticed that even lower doses of kratom affect me well. Basically my question is, how is it possible I am still gaining benefits from the kratom? Until I experimented myself the belief was kratom doesn't affect those with a high opioid tolerance. Is that untrue? Or am I misled? ... Just curious because it seems to be helpful and I know that even in between fentanyl doses when I was in full blown withdrawal kratom would ease the symptoms or at least help me sleep past a certain point which is kind of impressive. Does anyone know about this ??

Need all the positive vibes you can muster been doing it for 2 years every day about 64 capsules every 24 hours so I'm scared to death

I'm having shoulder surgery on my torn labrum tomorrow, And I was just thinking about if it even makes sense to take my kratom doses with the pain meds they're going to be giving me.. anytime in the past I've taken pain meds I usually don't take kratom as well, but I was wondering what other people do? Just feel like it might bog me down... I've been taking kratom basically daily for 6 years

Hello everyone. I'm new to this and have questions. I got the Thai green vein and the Maeng Da red vein (both power). A little back ground. I'm a recovering alcoholic. Never messed with opioid besides for surgery. I have been on neltrexone for several years for alcohol cravings. But they also use it for opioid addition (usually in injection form. I take pills) if i were to take any opioids i would go into immediate withdrawal. . I have stopped taking the neltrexone Saturday night because I wanted to try this and didn't know how it would react with that since it acts on the same brain region as opioids. I tried the Thai on Tuesday and it didn't seem like it had a effect on me (I took a teaspoon and a 1/2 then about 2 hours later took 2 more teaspoons) so idk if I over did it or if the neltrexone was still in my system (when I have surgery they tell me to stop it about a week a head of time). Wednesday I took 3 teaspoons and once again nothing besides I had diarrhea the rest of the night. I went a few day and took one teaspoon of the Maeng Da today and so far I feel nothing. I haven't eaten anything since about 12:30 this morning (I work 3:00 am -10:00 am). I don't know if I should wait longer, or try another teaspoon or just give up. I wanted to try it for pain and for anxiety, depression and possible ADHD (I get tested for that next week). Plus I'm in school and was hoping it could help me focus more. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks to you all!

Is it just my mail or is everyone else's mail taking forever to get their packages to them? I'm going on 7 days, thankfully tomorrow is suppose to be the day. Just wondered!

I am having major surgery in a week and need to quit the K. cold turkey. Not the way I would do it under normal circumstances - taper off. Was not thinking about this a month ago! Two questions: anybody had experience with surgery soon after Kratom use? And a lot of people have been known to get off it CT, haven’t they? I will search the posts.

Thanks,
