Kratom vendors are having
Kratom vendors are having huge sales right now, 50% off at many websites. Kratom.com for one, they have good maeng da. I recently had to leave my methadone clinic because I couldn't afford it, I had detoxed from 60mg a day down to 10 or so when I left. I toughed it out through 5 days of withdrawal, but it wasn't getting much better so I ordered some kratom. It has worked wonderfully to ease the withdrawal. It is important to taper off of the kratom, and don't stay on it for more than a few weeks or you can have withdrawal from it too.
Kratom for pain med withdrawral
I have a 3 level failed fusion in my back. I live in chronic pain and have been on pain meds for 8 years. The pain meds went from Vicodin to Fentynal and several in between. Taking the meds was hell. Getting them was hell. I found out about Kratom by researching opiate withdrawal and have been pain med free for the last six days. I don't know how long it will be before the cravings stop. I drink Kratom twice or three times a day. I have no withdrawral symptoms. But I want to be free of all of it. I will be glad when I wake without any cravings! Then I'll know I'm out of the woods.

Patients, prescription pain killers, and Methadone
I think that doctors and pharmaceutical companies have a lot to answer for when they prescribe narcotics for pain, implying that being "dependent" is not being "addicted". Just wait till you try to get off the pain killer. Now you are put on methadone, and you are treated like an addict. I suspect that coming off of methadone is far worse than coming straight off of the pain killer itself, because it certainly affects a lot of organs in the body. Getting off of methadone is hell. And the pain is still there, or perhaps it is new pains. I am curious about ways that can make withdrawal easier.
Money
There is not a lot of sympathy for people who are addicted - not even for those who ask for help. It is a money making business. This entire equation needs to be changed.
I am currently taking 140mgs
I am currently taking 140mgs a day of methadone and I am desperate to get off it!! I have tried to quit numerous times but its impossible! I tried to get into detox but they wont take anyone that is over 10mgs a day! I wish they would of told me this before getting me on this SHIT! So basically the only way off is a bullet.

cannabis for methadone withdrawal
I have been on methadone for5 years at 160mg a day. In January i started tapering and now im down to 52mg a day. i use cannabis for depression, insomnia, and more, especially opiate withdrawal.
