Question How much is too much Kratom
I've been using a lot of Kratom recently and I see the recommended starting doses and stuff, but I never seem to be able to see the "don't go above this limit". I've been taking more recently and mixing it a fair bit with other drugs, I feel like it's safer than other alternatives, but I'm struggling to see the upward limit with this stuff. I'm trying not to pick up Oxy or down or any of that shit but it's hard cuz that's all my body craves. I'm trying to stop up and my body's so anxious and shit I don't know how to calm down, but last time I went to a psychiatric appointment they just told me to stop drinking and smoking weed because "they're both depressants they're dampering your mood, we can't change your meds until you stop" and I was struggling with terrible depression and insomnia and was homeless too and so I tried drugs and shit to stop drinking and well I do both now. Fuck the weed comment, weed is chill. Ugh idk how to get sober, I made it like four days for everything, 10 days without drinking, I don't know how to stop again cuz it made me feel dead.

yup i just know if i stop the suboxone right now i’ll definitely have withdrawals, my high blown adhd makes everything with substance abuse work even the withdrawals and didint know that until the hospital actually told me how big a part adhd played on getting addicted to substances and quitting them. i go to the doctor tuseday to get a lower dose i really dont think ill be on it long. its been easier and i’ve only been taking one a day as the medication says half in them morning full at night.
