And have you ever had the kratom "wobbles" before?

I've taken too much kratom and felt like my eyes were rapidly twitching side to side. Made my vision blurry and gives me motion sickness. I don't know if that's what you mean by "wobbles".

I take kratom every day. It's good as an opiate maintenance med, keeps me from getting back on opiates, and it helped me when I was in a bad depression. I just wish it had a longer half-life, it's inconvenient to take when I'm not at home and I'm looking for a job right now. I'm tapering off just so I don't have to worry about that hassle.

I'm kicking myself for not getting a Suboxone script when you could still get them via telemedicine in my state. I asked my psych about it recently, but they won't give me one unless I'm in active addiction and get a positive drug screen to prove it. Pretty dumb that the system requires me to have a relapse to get the meds to prevent a relapse.

Hey I didn't see this comment back when you posted it, but better late than never. Just wanted to say that you might be able to get around the need for a positive opioid urine test by claiming to be addicted to fentanyl analogs. That's how I got my Buprenorphine script to prevent relapse despite not actually actively using at the time.

The newer RC opioid analogs are getting very weird and numerous, it's impossible to test for all of them. There's a good chance your doctor will just take your word for it in that case. Tell them you're worried you'll accidentally OD soon and really need help.

That's a good idea, thanks
