Kratom has been a lifesaver to make that transition.

You are probably aware of not only the severity of opiate withdrawal but with drugs like Methadone (which I once spent 2 months dope sick when I stopped) and Suboxone, they are so difficult to come off.

The extreme length of time is what was killing me. So thanks to Kratom it has eased the transition. Heroin and the like, you are better after 7 days tops, but when it comes to the longer acting ones, coming off is PAIN and FRUSTRATION like nothing else.

Suboxone may have been a miracle drug for me when I needed it but then it became harmful (basically your personality is operating at 25% of who you really are). I felt that I was unable to grow as a person, that it was holding me back. I am glad I went off of it.

I am 10 days off Suboxone, after a rapid decrease (32mg>16>8>4>2>0 over a 3 month period) and when it gets unbearable I have a cup of kratom tea. Every day I feel better and I am sure that a week from now I wont need any tea.

Consumers should not always have to rely on modern addiction medicine - which is obviously failing us. My doc says “this is what we got” but that is unacceptable. We, the people that are effected, need to be able to find our own solutions when our docs cannot.

About the guy using bup to get off Kratom- it’s a catch 22. i am essentially doing the exact opposite. But it wont matter what any individual or institution does if there is not a huge paradigm shift in the medical community and with personal responsibility.

So my point in writing this diatribe is that I no longer want to visit the “sickness industry” and I hope this substance that I found helpful will not become restricted to people that need it.

Personal responsibility is the answer folks. AA wont help you, leaving people places and things wont help you; only you, your thoughts, words, and actions will help you.

Please do post what happens with the guy using Bup to get off Kratom. And, if you are able, whether he goes on maintenance or just uses bup for detox.

Drug abuse would never get a hold of anyone if it weren’ t misleading. If the first day you used; you lost your job, your friends abandoned you, and you lost all your money few people would fall into drug addiction. There is a terrible truth about dr…
