I think this channel will be one of my life lines to help me through over the next few months. I want to be real again. I miss my motivation to move toward my future. I’m so sick of being in a fog of addiction and being owned by this green monster. Thank you for sharing your journal. So helpful and inspiring.
Day 3 for me and it's going pretty good. Psychologically it's the worst. Feels like I'm not ever gonna feel normal again and I will need kratom for the rest of my life. Mentally is pretty hard too as I am extra emotional and don't want to do anything each day. I got lucky with physical withdrawls as I have had no RLS or trouble sleeping. Working out has been the best help for me
Withdrawals didn’t let up for me even a month after quitting. I ended up giving in after a week of no sleep after I ran out of thc gummies. Now I’m taking a tiny fraction of what I was taking before so I guess that’s a win. I was taking approx 20g a day everyday over the last 6 years. My world revolved around taking kratom. Now it’s more of an afterthought. I’ve come to accept that what has been done over years cannot be undone in a few weeks. Stay strong friends.
What i did was take straight stem and vein for a month or so prior. I ordered a bunch of capsules and through away everything except my red vein capsules and stem and vein powder. I realized that taking 15-20 capsules at a time 4-5x a day is disgusting and probably bad for your stomach. So I took stem and vein during the day and if I woke up at night I took whatever would let me sleep again. I took 1g agmatine 2x day, black seed oil, magnesium and vitamin c. On day 1 I took 500mg of phenibut when I woke up at 4am and went back to sleep. Then took 1mg of Xanax at bedtime and slept 8 hours. I took .5 of clonidine a few times this week. I quit a week ago and barely experienced any withdrawal. I feel stupid for even bringing it up to my psychiatrist now.
beware, you might have tapered right. but just keep in mind that you can get some paws, like when you think you won against the WDs and then you get couple bad days in a row right after. It happens quite often, if that happens just know that the depression will go away again.
@@liltunturi1251 yeah I believe you. To be honest I have ADHD and if I felt great prior to kratom I wouldn't have chased such a mediocre drug for so long
Read some posts r/leaves and that'l change your mind. Going from one addiction to another is never a good idea and I've seen half of my friends drop out from school and become zombies who just work boring jobs to pay for weed to get high everyday. Weed addiction is not as benign as it seems
You are core addict, i get it. trading one thing for another has been the story of my life too . however our mind and bodys will never heal as long as we're chasing artificial dopamine, and it generaly always comes back full circle to us using our substance of choice .. wish it wasn't so
@@aurtherowner4697 I believe you. I threw away everything except CBD. I am gonna try and make it to Halloween without smoking. I ordered some CBD dabs to replace it. Gonna be interesting. I'm trying the NAC that seems to have studies to prevent cravings.
This convinced me to just cold turkey again. I quit for a month 2 years ago and the restlessness for five days was by far the worst symptom I remember. I was thinking about tapering this time around, but if you taper and still have restlessness than just quitting cold turkey seems like less pain for a shorter span.
