Nootropics to stop Kratom use
Original post in this thread

I found that Kratom does wonders for my depression/anxiety (my general weirdness). I went to a doctor and after many tries with different chemicals found that Bupropion also helps. So I lowered my dose of Kratom but have not been able to completely drop it.
Any suggestions on Nootropics that could get Kratom completely out of the picture.
I've been using it daily for about 4 years now and don't notice anything bad when I don't take it but I still would like to get away from using it every day.

Yeah man, it's been a rough couple years. A failed shoulder surgery, and a second to fix what the first doctor screwed up. That had me using high doses of oxycodone for long periods. I used kratom to get off the oxy as fast as I could. However, my brain had already been rewired. I never liked opioids before. Now my reward center is all changed. Then there was all the shit with my business partner, him dying, multiple scams by China, and all sorts of other shit going on that I never tell anyone about. Working 70 hours a week with crazy shit going on all around you takes it toll.
The kratom definitely builds some tolerance. However, not the same way other substances like oxy do. You can maintain the same dosage for long periods. You just lose the euphoric push that you get in the beginning, and are left with elevated mood and motivation. I also have access to many different things to stave off tolerance. However, I do not recommend taking kratom like that. Keep things to once a week, and you should be fine.
