After 4-5 years of taking kratom daily my dose was up to 45 pills (000 size) I weighed them and they were 800mg each so like 36 grams. One dose per day.

I couldn’t keep going like this. I remember when I started Kratom. 1 pill is all I needed. Then. 5, 10,20 etc

I was able to get my dose controlled a little bit from 45 down to about 32 but still it’s too much. I take it for chronic pain and I was very worried if I took less I would get less pain relief

I went down to 25 capsules on Monday and I didn’t notice any difference vs 32

Today I went down to 20 and the same thing. Really no difference.

I’m going to keep going down as long as my pain relief is there and see how low I can go

So it’s just a PSA. If your dose is getting out of control don’t be scared like I was. Just force yourself lower. It will save you money and it really was not fun swallowing 45 pills . Or 32. 20 still isn’t fun I’m going to try to go lower. People always said less is more but I never believed them. I always thought more is more!

I just had a google push notification news story pop up that stated “27 year old mother on life support after taking kratom for 1 week”. I read the article, then googled “Amanda Goodsell Kratom” and the results are wild. The same story is being published by literally 20+ local news websites. I’ll try to post pics in the post as a comment.

So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with kratom tea withdrawal vs powder?

Does the withdrawal kick in faster with the tea?
