6.5g at 9:30. Didn’t do much. Been on the couch most of the day. Took 7.5g +.5 at 2:15/3:00. Didn’t really do anything but side effects. Yesterday I felt like I needed to increase the dose, but didn’t do that today. I feel shitty all day, and the pain is bad. Really foggy in the head now because of it all. I guess tomorrow is 7.5/8.5. Pretty much maxed out. Lovely. Maybe the kratom is bad at the end of the bag. I feel like that has happened before. Maybe I’ll try 6.5 of the new bag tomorrow. Maybe I can mix in a bit of the old to use it up? Took 2g of corydalis. Within about 20 minutes I went out for a walk. I was thinking about it from anger before hand, but I think it helped with the pain. When I started walking, it felt decent. I did a long walk. Also mostly from anger, but the cory maybe allowed it to happen. Maybe this can work for a tolerance break. Still feel plenty of pain, plus the yuckiness from the kratom, so I don’t know if this stuff is helping. The walk could have been all piss and vinegar. There was no high from it, and I think whatever was there wore off really quickly. Well, I played some TAB, then about 9:00 I started feeling much better. In part, the yucky feeling went away. But my pain kind of faded away too. I wasn’t at all worried about it. Even when sitting at my desk. I think I took that cory at 5:00. Very delayed action on that. I might try tomorrow to take 2g right when I wake up. Maybe do the ash/ag too. If I feel totally wrecked tomorrow, I’ll just go with the new kratom and start with 6.5 at first. Very weird. I don’t feel high at all. No serotonin surge. Just low pain and high energy. I wonder if it’s just a counter reaction to the crappy feeling. Like getting over the flu kind of. Busted out a long walk fairly easily at 9:30. Probably the latest I’ve ever done a walk. At least a long one. One of the hottest days of the year is coming up tomorrow, so I’m right on time with this. I only feel better on oppressively hot days. I kind of have no desire to go to sleep right now, so we’ll see how this fucks with me tomorrow. For all I know there will be a nasty hangover with this. (corydalis is a dopamine antagonist, so it kills any ‘high’ feeling.)
