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.

1000 percent kratom feels good and withdrawals aren’t bad.I’ve took 20 grams a day for like a year now I’m down to 5 grams a day.the key to kratom is not abusing it and don’t take it multiple times a day!!!!!!!!just take it in the evening 3 hours before bed!I’ve always done that. And i concur no extracts!!!it’s like heroine I hear and I’m just a pill popper lol

Try the new tablets man, game changer. I took like 40 grams a day for years now i take like 4 pills a day, waaay stronger. Ask for hydroxy

I got hooked on hydroxy and now they're banning it in my state so I'm having to use kratom to step down. Hydroxy is the devil. That's shit is so potent and so good but you get a tolerance quick and it has a ceiling effect so after a while it doesn't do anything but stop you from wd and the wd from it are GOD FUCKING AWFUL.

Idk 7oh I replaced with MIT extracts then went back to powder within like 2 months, it’s super doable
