Kratom vs. Suboxone

[shaunclo]

This question will only be able to be answered by a small number, but I want to know if the w/d's from Kratom would be easier to take than suboxone. I am a long time user of suboxone and I am having a hell of a time trying to get off of this shit. I tried Kratom yesterday for the first time, and it actually works!!! It works so well I was quite surprised. The only thing is that is wears off pretty quickly. I took a pretty large dose before I went to sleep, and woke up pretty early kinda fidgeting. I would think that Kratom would be easier to w/d from because it is so short acting, when suboxone takes almost weeks to detox from. Any knowledge pertaining to this would be greatly appreciated. By the way, Kratom tastes like SHIT. I got the super strength stuff, and made tea from it. I didnt know you had to stir it everytime you want to take a sip, so when I was almost done, there was all the Kratom left in the bottom. I was like, Fuck....that sucks, so I gulped all the wet Kratom down my throat and it got stuck like 1/2 way down and I almost puked from the grainy like shit.....nasty, but nice stuff. If you havnt tried it, I recommend it.

I have never taken suboxone/buprenorphine, but I have been in w/d's from kratom. It is pretty much like w/d from hydro. Very fidgety, nervous, runny nose, diarrhea, insomnia, the works.

the kratom w/d peaks around 30-40 hours and is almost gone after three days. It's bad for the first day and a half though.

So, maybe that helps.

Hey Zoop, that does help, unfortunately I have never experinced w/d's from hydro, just heroin and suboxone. Suboxone seems to be tolerable to me, its just still to bad to be able to go to work and do my job right (mortgage). But if it is only 3 days than maybe that would be more of an option for me. The w/d's from suboxone last 2-3 weeks and I cant sleep, let alone get work done. I wish there was more info on Kratom and the w/d's. Maybe I will just get a big bag of H and get fuckered up and think about my options. he he he, well sometimes I just like to think thats an option for me. Happy chai-latte drinking Zoop, bottoms up!!.......shaunclo :drink:
