Just a note about the kratom: I should have been a little more clear about it on here;

I don't think that Kratom should be in any way a permanent replacement for opiates. The point of getting clean is to substance free. With that being said; based on RxQueens messages to me and posts on here about the hellacious withdraws she has been experiencing and the problem of being in control of her subs, I thought that kratom may help her through the withdrawal process. In a PM, I explained that she could use it in the beginning to stave off withdrawal and taper off it quickly. This is only from my personal experience when I say that I had no problem taking or coming off of the kratom. It's only my opinion, it may not be a good idea for some. I should have explained that better. A doctor would never suggest someone using kratom, for one things it's not used in the US for withdrawal. Many addicts in other countries have used it to come off of opiates, I did a lot of research on it before I used it. There are many reports of bad experiences and many reports of great experiences. Like any other substance, we don't always know how another person will respond. Please, everyone be safe with whatever you use to withdrawal, wether it be methadone, suboxone, or kratom.
