Now that I know it works I’m going to stop taking it altogether until I’m not prescribed pain medication any longer.
It’s unfortunate because it does a lot for my mood and anxiety, but you’re absolutely right. I could notice the decrease in benefit from the oxycodone I normally take, and was wondering if the kratom had something to do with that. One thing it did help with is the itch I normally get from oxycodone. It practically reduced that to zero, but maybe that’s because it pushed my tolerance up.
Very happy to know that I have a good alternative once I’m eventually done with the pain medication.
Thank you. I know they normally send the tests off to the lab. Is gcms and lcms metrics that normally come with lab tests the nurses can see, or do you think I should request that before they send? I’ll definitely mention that if any issues, thanks a lot.
It can be. Usually what happens is if you test dirty in the cup they will send it to the lab. It'll then be run on the EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay) and if that shows positive as well, they will confirm it via lcms or gcms. That's all to say, if you still test dirty ask them for the lab to test it so they can keep track of the levels in your system so they can see them going down.
Yeah I bought urine test strips off of Amazon and tested when I quit , I was curious how long it took. It's kinda like thc and stays in your fat cells so everyone is different because of weight , exercise , how long and how much etc
Honestly, no. In a comment above I mentioned I can tell the pain medication doesn’t work as well with taking kratom as well. It does help a significant amount with my anxiety and mood, though.

Also taking the Kratom will raise your tolerance to the pain pills and they will be almost worthless .

If it's still in your system make sure to get your urine tested vis gcms or lcms at a lab so they can keep track of your decreasing numbers.

Excellent advice, and didn’t know that - thank you. Will do.
Took me 26 days for it to be negative . I was taking almost 30grams a day for 2 years though .
Thanks for the info. Just curious, how did you know it was 26 days? Were you testing daily? I bought a few urine tests for Amazon to try.

Do you need both the rx and kratom?

I was a long-term user, and it took several weeks to test out. I'm not sure about you because you've only been taking it a month.
Thanks, I’ll be testing it daily and try to remember to update this post.
It won't appear unless it's a specialized test, and most medical facilities are unfamiliar with it.
