I've been taking it for over 10 years now and have been using it daily for the past 5-6 years. I've settled into a routine of consuming about 2kg per month. I don't really measure the dosage either. Basically, I take a heaping tablespoon and drink it with warm tap water. Naturally, I would experience withdrawal symptoms if I stopped. I don't drink alcohol or use other drugs. Regarding hair loss, I've read about it but haven't experienced any negative effects myself, being in my mid-30s now. It actually fits quite well into my daily life. I'm quite successful in my career, and paying over 5k € per year for it is not an issue for me. But yes, I am slowly starting to consider how I can reduce or completely stop using it. I don't even know what it feels like to be without it. I recently added up everything I've purchased since 2015. It's over 27k Euros. I can hardly believe it. How did you manage to quit? I'm currently looking for legal alternatives.
I got my dose down to 2.4 grams 7 hours apart three times a day then was able to walk away pretty easily. get some skills to weigh it out. I needed to measure it out precisely in order to cut my dose precisely otherwise I know that I would have been doing the same thing over and over again. I'm 3 days now off it and have gotten off this miserable hump. There was light at the end of the tunnel, but now I am walking in that light. I never want to go back to that darkness again. Go through it to the other side, it is right there, it is worth it!

Man, Jesus led me right to this. Thank you so much for this video. I was a drug addict for 13 years and beat all of them. Kratom sure has been a sneaky one that was the one I had no idea I was addicted to until recently. We can DO THIS. Thank you again ❤
Praise Jesus and thank you Dr. Chris Park. God has blessed me with introspection and wisdom to the degree that I am able to sit across the table and stare my problem/addiction in the eye. I'm no judge, but this feels like a solid first step. I love everything about me. but this has to stop. That's on me. I've had my "last one" so many times that I chose early, not to count. In every area elsewhere in my life I maintain an admittedly strenuous rigid nature in health, fitness, nutrition etc.. But this one thing, that's my own little secret even.

Maybe it is helpful for those getting off hard drugs but it is a drug in a real sense. People try to disguise it as a supplement. It gives you a real buzz and can become addictive. I've been trying to get this monkey off my back for years
my problem is not the withdrawal but after the withdrawal I dont know what to do at night time I cant sleep and have so many thoughts and I miss that cozy opioid feeling which hits your head and puts your thoughts away at daytime I can work out and everything and have fun but when Im in bed I just cant sleep and I am more addicted mentally
Prayer and fasting and DL phenylalanine. People are addicted because they miss this amino acid in their bodies. When I start supplementing it withdrawals are gone. But I agree with you for addiction
@blumpkinspicelatte4580 actually it helped only a bit. But, I tested low for ferritin- iron, only on 30. I took first 150mg iron tablet and all my "withdrawals" were gone. Now I took kratom every day for 1 month and tomorrow testing do I have wd. Join iron protocol group if you suspect that you have withdrawals
So. Today. Achey a.f. and stiff. Went and got kratom. I have tomorrow off and friday working, Saturday is a half day. Maybe take less. Tomorrow take None. All day. My job is perfecy for quiting. Hard labor outside. But this video is where its at. Its about the thoughts.
Dr. Park thank you so much. First off I have nothing bad to say about people who use kratom that saved their life this isn’t a target at them it’s just my experience. I was an addict with alcohol and I was really healthy and fit, however someone introduced me to feel free kratom kava and it has ruined my life. I have been suicidal, they took me into a 51/50 and I shaved my head and have been into 4 different rehab centers. And every time I get out I get back into Kratom. I stopped taking the drink for the first time but I switched to a seltzer Kratom drink called new brew and I’m catching myself doing the same thing as before. I’m ready to get sober and leave this addiction behind for good and I’m glad I rubbed into your video. I’m going to try this with all my heart thank you.
Ive been stuck on it for way too long. I feel trapped. I dont think I could make it through my work day without it yet a large portion of my check gets eaten up by it. I hate this!!!!!!
I haven’t been able to get any answers so hopefully you can shed some light on this for me. When switching from methadone to Kratom and then tapering the kratom before stopping will I have a more difficult withdrawal experience due to the previous opioid use? Also I’ve read the withdrawal from methadone lasts 1-3 months so if I stop the kratom before (on week 3 off mdone and on kratom) will I most likely experience the withdrawal symptoms from both methadone and kratom? Just curious if the heavy symptoms I feel when I don’t take kratom for 6-8 hours is the methadone still making its way out of my body. Thankyou for your videos goodluck everyone and godbless!
@@dr.chrispark thanks for the response! I was doing 10mg twice a day for awhile and then was at about 10-12mg daily before I started the kratom. Unfortunately I had been on it for many years. (Pain management doctor gave it to me when I was 18)
DL phenylalanine. If you taper kratom down to 2 teaspoons per day, it will go easy with DL phenylalanine. I hope for you, it was and still is miracle for me. I found it randomly on UA-cam. It's amazing amino acid, which apparently we missing in our bodies more than others who are not addicted
@@dr.chrispark It's one of the best! You'll love it. I bought it and read it, then he released a really cool Greenlights leather guided journal to go along with it. Then I listened to it on Audible, because it was him reading it. You have to check into it. He talks about bad things happening in life(Red lights), and turning them into (Greenlights)..or things he thought were red lights, were actually green. He compiled it from 37 years of journaling. I'll definitely be ordering your books! Thanks for the link. Oh, and shot date is November 1st!😁
I have an amazing doctor. She is a really good woman. She's also a pediatrician and general practice. But she's been working with addicts and their families for years and has helped many people. I think a lot of people are made to feel bad about mat. And although I understand people's concerns, I think that there are a lot of serious misconceptions out there. I am coming off subs too. But, when I watch the videos by other people, some of them say things that are just not true with regard to WHY it is people take medication for addiction in the first place, like, that part is missing. And I heard kratom helps after a few days, anyway. Don't take if you will get on it longer than the withdrawal process or if you think you might. I've never tried that method so I can't say anything. Thanks for the info.
@@darlamckinnon4546 I still use it. But I force myself to use only a teaspoon KT tea a day. My body is better with a small muscular pain left but I tried to work out for a better sleep every night. I can't quite 100% but use less is the way for now. 😢 (It's for my job and I'm planning to use a long holiday to quit 100%)
Just for men beard wash can work wonders if you don’t like it brother. I personally think the gray looks awesome on you (no homo) lol. I have more gray then It appears. I tend to date younger women so I may or may not use some just for men once a week in the shower 😜.
@@dr.chrispark yea I just started messing with it about a year ago. It’s a little silly to a point but it’s so simple that I don’t mind doing it. Plus it’s kinda fun to switch it up sometimes since I don’t have hair on my head lol. Hope you’re having a great weekend brother. I’m taking my 150 mg shot on weds. 🤟 finally sheesh.
I've been taking huge doses of kratom about twice (sometimes three times) a week for around six years now. That and I'm deeply addicted to vaping nicotine. I wish I could quit so badly.
@@scottpitner4298IMO you should build a moment on Life where you don't have serious issues, so I mean, not during a move, a relationship breaking up or things like that, then you plan a month long taper and then you quit using 3-6 days of holidays.

Try CBD

Yeah, I have ADHD and I cannot sleep properly without kratom...

DLPA helps for sure
Does it matter which brand?
@@jimbof20ablewhat’s the best spot to get it
It doesn't help. All the suppliments everyone suggests don't work. You just need to suffer and power through it.

Hey. Same boat as you.
If it helps, I have been prescribed an opiod blocker called naltrexone, it blocks the effects of kratom. Good luck
