The next day I realized I had taken too much, and probably just needed a smaller dose. So two days after the inital experience I tried again with 5 grams. I got less sedation, but again no euphoria to speak of (except some slight stimulant effects on the come up). I was nauseated again and thought this stuff was a waste, but it did help me sleep and I enjoyed the nap. I finished out the rest of the 18 grams I had remaining over the course of the next week in 6 gram doses mixed with cups of water, the naps I got from it were satisfying sleep. But it wasn't worth it as I soon realized. I became quite constipated as this experiment went on finishing off the remains of it.
After finishing the last of it, I soon developed intense stomach pains from the constipation, a complete lack of passing bowel movements. I knew that opiates could affect this necessary bodily function, and this had happened to me. While Kratom may not be considered an opiate, it does work on the mu-opioid receptors and I got the worst of it. It was awful, my digestive system was literally so backed up that I couldn't process food through my stomach! I couldn't eat much without throwing it up soon after because my food had no place to go!
After a week of this horrible constant stomach pain, I started having sharp and intense pains on my left side. Fearing that this constipation had caused an inflamed appendix I was scared but didn't want to see a doctor. Over the course of the next month I did my best to find a regular supply of cannabis, which I smoked to ease the pain and that helped get my digestive system working smoothly again.
Overall, Kratom was a horrible experience for me. It wasn't fun while I did it, it was tiring, and was very dysphoric at higher doses. I really thought it might kill me at some point in the first experience. Later I thought the constipation would rupture my insides, and it nearly did. Some months later, I still have problems with constipation and my left side still hurts slightly.
