Does it make sense to take agmatine sulfate on off days (4 days per week) if I only take kratom 3 days a week to keep tolerance as low as possible?

So it's been a good while since I started kratom. This plant helped me with a lot of things. And that's why I'm posting this post here. Because I didn't quit because of anything negative from kratom. I quit because my plan was to get off doing opiates/opiods every single day and letting them control my life. I used kratom to get off fentynal. This is why I am grateful for this plant. I was using up to 20 grams a day of kratom. I got down to 8 grams a day. Using 4 in the morning and 4 at night and on the last bag I had I told myself that I wouldn't take anymore. Since I haven't took any I haven't noticed an horrible withdrawal symptoms like I did with fent. Kratom is good and people do not need to get it banned. It helps people 100%

I have seen people making Kratom tea in creative ways—some even using coffee makers! What’s your method for the best flavor?

I have a naturally high tolerance to opiates (I know kratom isn't an opiate but it's similar).

The highest I've dosed is 7.5 grams to very little effect. Almost nothing. I understand the pharmacodynamics of kratom and I'm wondering if I up my dose will it give me better effects or will I just hit the ceiling effect?

Thanks in advance.

Frustrated with Kratom...

I've been using Kratom 3 days a week for several months: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 1 6gram dose in the evening.

I exclusively use Reds and over the last 3 weeks the insomnia it's causing me is super noticeable. I'll take my dose around 7 or 8 and find myself up till 1, 2, sometimes 3am.

I know it's a diuretic but it's also been causing me to get up literally every 10 minutes to pee, even the slightest urge I get up to pee drops. I'm sure this isn't helping with the insomnia.

I was so exhausted Saturday morning from this happening Friday night that I said fuck this and haven't taken a dose since.

Is there anything I can do to mitigate this? I love the positives it gives me but I can't deal the negatives anymore.

I’ve heard people say less is more with kratom and I’ve also seen kratom not be as effective if not taken at a higher dose so for the people that have actually cut there use down how was it better then at the higher dose

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?
