Tolerance and timing of dose

[Kenjack07]

I’m curious if anyone has developed tolerance or withdrawal symptoms on smaller doses closer together vs. larger doses farther apart.

I currently take ~4 grams 3x a day (about 6 hours apart). I was considering taking ~2 grams every 3 hours. 2 grams gives me decent pain relief, but it wears off much quicker.

Anybody have any experience with this? I already have some hot flashes due to menopause, and don’t need more of that in my life!

if u start dosing every 2 hours your body will come to expect that.

Yeah, I've tried the smaller doses closer together, you'll wake up at night with restless legs, teary eyes and runny nose till you dose in the morning...they say less is more but If I can dose only twice a day at up to eight grams apiece but only twice a day this never happens of course we're all different and ymmv, etc..etc.

Thanks y’all! That’s exactly what I needed to know. The way I’m doing it now, I rarely have those wd type side effects. (Extra hot flashes for me). I’ll stick to the way I’m doing it now.

Catfather - I also used to dose twice daily but at higher dose. The reason I changed to smaller doses three times a day is the larger doses were putting me back to sleep every morning. Sleep is better than pain, but it made it hard to get anything done! Strangely the larger dose at night didn’t make me sleepy when I actually needed it to! Ugh

Most kratom is stimulating to me even at my dose, after I get up and dose...I ain't going back to bed, my methods may not work for you...
