Greetings, all.
I’ve been using kratom to mitigate my RLS symptoms for several years. Shortly after topping up my supply for the year, I switched to buprenorphine. Rather than sell my kratom inventory, I’d like to gift it to RLS sufferers. In return, I ask that you consider voluntarily contributing to the American Kratom Association.
If you live in a jurisdiction where kratom is legal and are interested, please private message me for further details. I’m in the US.
Breaking bad!😝
Hi Dougg ... I wonder if you could share how much buprenorphine you take for RLS and also when. Many thanks, Sally (in the UK!)
Hi Sally.
I think the level of buprenorphine one takes for RLS is very person-specific and that one should ideally experiment (starting with the smallest possible amount) to figure out how much is necessary to mitigate symptoms. That said, I use 20mcg skin patches that are supposed to last 7 days. My experience is that they take about a day to ramp up and then start to wind down after 4-5 days. I supplement them with sub-lingual buprenorphine tablets. The smallest those tablets come is 2 mg, and I cut them in half and usually work with half-tablets. I also will make a dental plug here, because of the published concerns about the effect of those tablets on teeth. I hold them under my tongue until dissolved and then immediately rinse my mouth with baking-soda-water (teaspoon dissolved in a glass of water) which is very alkaline, followed by a tooth-decay-inhibiting mouthwash.
As to the when, if I'm taking tablets, I take them in the morning and in the evening. They're supposed to last 12 hours, but I find that the mitigating effect often wears out before then, so I might end up taking three doses in a 24-hour-period. As for the patches, I just replace them at about the same time on the same day of each week (e.g., Monday afternoon).
Thank you for taking the time to reply with such detail. Very much appreciated. Warmest regards, Sally
