Kratom tolerance: How to avoid it and how to deal with it if possible?

Many users of kratom have certainly come across information during their use that tolerance can very easily develop on this substance, which, if handled incorrectly, turns into addiction and, with it, unpleasant problems. But what about tolerance in reality? And is there any way to avoid it?

Whether you are new to kratom or a seasoned user, understanding the capabilities and possibilities of kratom is one of the most important aspects of using it. Only with the right knowledge can we get the most out of its abilities and avoid, for example, side effects. Let's take a closer look at tolerance itself. 

In the following lines, you will learn everything important about tolerance!

What is kratom tolerance?

Quite simply, torrentance is a situation in which you need more and more of a given substance to achieve at least the same effects. You can get used to the effects of kratom very quickly and we can often encounter tolerance in some users. 

As you probably already know, the leaves of the tree that we call in Latin Mitragyna speciosa, contain effective alkaloids. Let's mention the two main ones: mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. These substances can work with our opioid receptors in the brain. In this way, they help our body in relaxation or sedation or, on the contrary, these substances give us energy and improve our mood.

Tolerance does not have to occur only when using kratom powder, we can also encounter it with capsules or for example drops. This is a natural reaction of the body to regular long-term use. Problems come later, with tolerance, it is much easier to build a dependence, which is associated with another series of negative effects. In case of a problem, the best option is to contact a doctor. 

Kratom Tolerance Symptoms

These symptoms are different for each of us. Each person is an individual, so these symptoms may not be the same for all people, so we have selected the most observed ones:

Seeking higher benefits

With tolerance, it is perfectly normal to seek a constantly higher dose, which over time will deliver the same effects as the original. It is therefore very important to keep the dosage under control during the entire period of use. 

Reduced efficiency

The reduction in efficiency is directly related to the previous point. At the same dose, after long-term use, we will experience weaker and weaker effects, as our body has adapted to this dose. 

Withdrawal symptoms

If you decide to reduce the dose, you may start to experience withdrawal symptoms. These include, for example, stress, irritability, nausea or muscle pain. 

Increased frequency of use

A symptom of tolerance can also be an increase in the dosing frequency itself. If you originally started with one dose per day and currently need to take 3x the same dose with intervals, this is also tolerance. This is mainly so that the person can maintain the effects of kratom for a longer period of time. 

Craving for kratom

Tolerance and incipient addiction are also manifested by an overwhelming craving for kratom, something similar to a smoker who feels a huge craving for a cigarette after, for example, not smoking for several hours. 

Mood swings

It is very likely that many users will experience mood swings. Restlessness and irritability often occur in the larger one. 

Tolerance is the first step to addiction, which can turn into addiction very quickly. It is therefore very important to perceive these symptoms and if you agree with them, it is time to start looking for a solution. 

What are the stages of kratom tolerance?

How does this tolerance actually arise? In the following lines, we will take a closer look at several stages that a person in tolerance goes through. 

Initial phase

At this stage, it is normal use of kratom, when the desired effects occur even at a low dose. There is often an improvement in mood and feelings of relaxation. 

Mild stage

By continuing to use it regularly, you can get to this second stage. At this moment, your body begins to adapt to the administered substance and it stops being enough. Therefore, most users decide to increase the dosage to achieve the same order of effects.

Advanced stage

At this point, for the original effects, usually up to several times the dose compared to the completely original one is used. If the doses are not increased, withdrawal symptoms may begin to appear. Mostly users experience insomnia, irritability and sleeplessness. 

A difficult stage

The moment the user reaches this stage, a problem arises for him. If he is still looking for the effects of kratom, he must constantly increase the dose from the original one. This stage is often referred to as addiction, which is associated with adverse health risks and withdrawal symptoms. 

How to manage kratom tolerance?

Now we will take a closer look at several steps that can help us avoid or solve these unpleasant situations. 

Pause

The easiest solution to this situation is to take a break. Either you can cut off the supply of kratom all at once, but already in the early stages of addiction, this step is very drastic and unpleasant. In this case, it is recommended to reduce the dose gradually until you reach the zero dose, where you will stay for a while (at least a week).

Reduce the dose

If you are in one of the first stages of tolerance, it will be more than enough to reduce the dose. This step is also practiced by gradually decreasing. You will probably feel weaker effects, but then you will feel the full effect even at lower doses. 

Use a potentiator

We believe that people unfamiliar with kratom haven't heard of this "hack". These are substances that can enhance the effects of kratom even at a relatively small dose. Examples include grapefruit, magnesium or turmeric. After consuming these substances, we should not need to increase the doses of kratom. 

Change of tribes

We can also prevent tolerance by changing the strains of the kratom itself. With this method, we try to keep the doses at the same low level and, for example, change his strain after a week. In the next week we will return to the original and we should again feel stronger effects. 

Try your options

To make sure we don't get it wrong, one of the other pieces of advice is just such a psychological game "with yourself". During this method, we test how we can work with our body and moderate the dosage of ourselves. 

Professional help

If you do not know how to deal with tolerance or addiction yourself, there is nothing easier than seeking professional help. Health professionals are always able to support and advise on how to proceed in a given situation. 

As we mentioned above, everyone is an individual and not all methods can be practiced on everyone, it is always important to listen to your body and follow what it needs and how we can possibly help it manage the given situation. 

What is a kratom tolerance reset?

Imagine a button on the speedometer in your car that erases the last kilometers driven and resets the long-term consumption to zero. It works similarly with kratom tolerance. We stop using kratom completely and avoid tolerance altogether. 

However, this process is not immediate, from a few days to weeks, during which our body will "cleanse". The alkaloids get out of our body and the opioid receptors resume their functioning. During this process, it is ideal to follow a drinking regime and eat healthy, so that the alkaloids can leave our body without problems. 

After this time, health professionals recommend starting at the very lowest possible dose. This is because tolerance could very quickly develop again afterwards. 

As most of you already know, the substances contained in the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree have been proven to have very good effects. However, apart from this fact, the negatives of this substance are also observed and it is very important to pay close attention to the dosage and use of this substance. 

Can we prevent kratom tolerance altogether?

Yes, but it is very complicated and not every user can do it. However, we will determine the basic principles that should help us avoid this situation. 

Probably the most basic point is the importance of dosage. We should keep this in check at all times and ideally we should not use kratom every day. Another option is, for example, regular weaning, which will help us respond to kratom as well as possible. 

Another option is to rotate kratom strains. Since each vein of kratom has a different profile of alkaloids, we can assume that by changing them we have the possibility to prevent tolerance, but this method may not be the most reliable.  

Summary

The development of kratom tolerance and subsequent addiction is one of the dark clouds hovering around kratom. Again, we must reiterate that the user should be in control of the dose size throughout use. According to the advice mentioned today, it is possible that most of you can deal with tolerance on your own. However, if not, consult your doctor. 

We would also like to mention that it is very important to look for kratom only from reputable sellers, as it is not subject to any form of control in our country and its sale is not regulated. When buying from various low-quality sellers, different additives or even dangerous heavy metals can appear in kratom, so be careful where your powder comes from.
