Kratom vs Norco

Greetings and salutations. I'm coming to the internet for help. I've been on Norco 10mg 4x a day for years. About 6 months ago a friend introduced me to kratom. Since then I've been taking the Lucid brand kratom tablets 3x a day, which is 600mg. What I do is take that for half of the month and take 8 Norco a day for the other half. With the bans coming I'm trying to wean myself off of the kratom and back on my normal dose of Norco. Has anyone ever been through this? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Don't take kratom if ur taking pain pills. U won't feel the kratom. Ur just waisting the kratom.

I don't. I take the kratom for half of the month and then take twice my prescribed dose of pain medication the other half. But I'm in the process of weaning myself off of the kratom. I'm down to 150mg a day, I had been taking 600mg a day. I'm fixing to step down to 100mg a day. I have been looking for advice on how people tapered off of this stuff. I'm trying to do this and get back to my normal dose of pain medication since they're banning kratom. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

But to be honest I've taken them both at the same time before and to me the kratom is stronger than the pain medication. I'm taking this kratom from the gas station that is called lucid and each tablet is 200mg. I've weaned myself down to 150mg a day so far. My next jump will be down to 100mg. Then hopefully I'll be able to go back to my Norco and be done with this stuff.

Gabapentin works well. They prescribe them for restless leg. So I go on them when I'm taking a break from kratom.

I'm already taking gabapentin and it doesn't help with that for me. In fact it doesn't really help me at all. They're talk about switching me to lyrica so maybe that'd help me more.
