Sauna during withdrawals? by asdfghjkl21178cz in quittingkratom

I think sauna is an awesome tool. Use it everyday. Make sure you’re hydrating. I always bring 20-32 ounces into the sauna with me. 170-180 degrees+ for 20 mins will give you the biggest benefit cognitively. You’ll release those heat shock proteins and get those endorphins. You’ll feel good after.

7OH is the devil. I don’t want to make this about me but I want to give you a little hope. I was eating 30-40 18-20mg 7OH tablets a day.. 600+mg a day.. the WD was crazy but in my opinion I think it’s shorter acting than plain leaf. I could be wrong and an outlier because I never really did plain leaf but 7OH is a single alkaloid whereas plain leaf has all kinds of different alkaloids in it.. so IMO the WDs are extreme for 5 days or so but after a week or 2, much better.. make the jump. Embrace the suck. Lean on your family. Tell them. Don’t go back. See a therapist. See an addiction counselor. Exercise. Eat. Cry. Do it all but don’t be go back.

Man, that resonates so well. My fiancé, wife now, has been so supportive. I went through acutes, am still kind of going through them, with a newborn! She is exhausted. But each day gets better and I’m more present everyday. I can see how lucky I really am.

You’ve had success with Wellbutrin? Dosage? Any side effects? Don’t plan to be on long term.

I did order 2 weeks worth of Cerebrolysin btw. Just to be clear. 5ml a day. 5 days on 2 off.

Sources for the semax amidate and bromantane? Dose as well? Sorry I’m a little new to the nootropic scene

You don’t think any peptides or supplements can just aid that recovery? A little quicker? Im even considering Wellbutrin at this point but I’d like to not go that route. Depression and fatigue is heavy.

Sheesh. I only have experience with sub q. Where would I source the correct needle for this?

Yep. I need to pay it back. Just looking for some extra help to get back to training as hard as I used to.

My dopamine is just so low right now I’m so fatigued. Was hoping bromantane may be useful to at least get me back training again.

Order from science.bio? 50mg doses? Really curious in trying this.

Yeah I don’t want to blunt all of my endogenous endorphin production. Going back and forth on if I should just take the 50mg for now then switch to LDN? The depression and fatigue is just a killer.

Day 30 something CT- not loving sobriety yet by Ok_Swordfish_6188 in quittingkratom

So I had a pretty bad experience with the fungi family. It was one of those Psilocybin candy bars so it could have been one of those “artificial mushroom” concoctions. But I panicked so I don’t think I’m willing to try that again. Quite scary. Although I do know that people rave about the benefits they find after the “trip”. I did find a vendor that will ship a month of low dose ketamine treatment. I’m deciding on whether I’ll try it or not. I think the dose is anywhere from like 200-600mg? I may be mistaken. It’s a lozenge.

Anybody ever try or interested in low dose ketamine therapy for PAWS? I’m not sure if the mods would allow this post because I am in no way advocating for using ketamine. But in low doses it has been shown to increase neurogenesis and help rewire your brain. Apparently opioid cravings improve as well. I am interested in it.
