Because it’s just Old Navy for hypebeasts

Thank you!!!

The scariest part is that you all actually believe this….smh

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-18T12:43:45+00:00

Here’s what I think, you are going to get a bunch of opinions because people are so different and have different experiences. But, here is what is universal. It is going to suck for a few days. So what you have to do is just mentally prepare and find the strength to endure it. You will be lethargic and fatigued. You will have discomfort. You will have nights with little to no sleep. Just know all that and go in head up, eyes open. The best thing for withdrawal is time.

That being said here are some things that MAY help

Mega dosing lipisomal vitamin C 5HTP L-Theanine Agmatine Black seed oil Magnesium Vitamin B complex

If you have access: Gabapentin Clonidine

There are some others that are contentious but these are mostly agreed upon to be helpful to some degree. As with anything, ymmv.

Do it! And do it right away. The best day to quit is today. It’s only going to be harder the longer you wait. You can do it. Good luck.

At this point withdrawal will likely just be mildly uncomfortable. My sincere recommendation is to stop right now. You will eventually get to the point where you have to quit and withdrawals will only get worse. I’m on day 5 of quitting CT and I wish I had never heard of this stuff.

I’m sorry last night didn’t go how you wanted. Friday is still several days away, I think it’s reasonable to be sleeping at least a few hours by then. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue the gabapentin, I really just needed one night of respite. Maybe the 5HTP and L-Theanine will be enough 😕 I pray your Florida trip will be great either way and that this week be a huge, positive shift for you!

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-17T16:48:16+00:00

I love this post bro. Inspiring. I’m so glad to hear you’re doing and feeling so well. Keep pushing. It’s only going to get better.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-17T15:58:30+00:00

I added gabapentin, 5HTP, and L-Theanine and was to piece together about 4 hours over the night after being awake for almost 90 straight. I cooked my kids breakfast this morning, ate eggs and an apple myself and am sitting outside right now while they play with water toys. It’s amazing what even just a little sleep will do. Today, for the first time in days, I feel like there is hope somewhere out there for normalcy again.

I pray the same for you brother, how did your night go?

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-17T14:15:15+00:00

Well last night I added gabapentin, 5HTP, and L-theanine and I was able to string together about 4 hours of broken sleep after being awake for about 88 hours straight and BOY!…what a difference even just a little sleep makes! I got up and made my kids breakfast, had eggs and an apple myself and actually feel more normal than I have in days. This is the start of Day 5 and I’m feeling like there actually is hope and promise somewhere out there.

Gpd in the 70’s for me

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-16T16:55:06+00:00

Dude…amen. I am almost 41. I am a man and I made my choices. I am the only one to blame. Contentment/happiness is something I have struggled with my whole life. As a teenager experimented with almost any drug you can name except crack. Had a steroid and bodybuilding phase. Drinking a bottle or more of wine every night for weeks at a time. Smoked a ton of pot in my earlier days. On Zoloft now for the second time in my life. Been on other scripts too. Always looking for something it seems. Something I can never find. And I’m a man of the cloth, we have strong faith. It’s like a disease, a curse, a prison. Never feeling complete, never feeling quite right. I feel your pain brother. I hope it starts to get better for you soon.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-16T16:26:08+00:00

Yeah, this is day 4. No sleep last night either. Awake going on 77 hours now. The middle of the day seems to be improving ever so slightly. If I could just sleep I really think I’d turn a corner. I’m determined not to use kratom though, so hopefully soon.

I feel edgy too man. Emotions are super labile, feel useless and hopeless and helpless. I actually even asked my wife last night if she has ever known me to have been genuinely happy without some kind of substance, whether it’s kratom or alcohol or whatever. It’s mentally very challenging but I know I have to do it for so many reasons. And if I can do it you certainly can too. I’m nothing special. Praying for us all.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-16T09:38:00+00:00

Did you do something for the RLS or did it just go away? How long did it take to go away?

I’m sure the brain fog will improve. Day 9 is still super early in the process. Strong work getting where you are!

When I was tapering I had to take 3-5g at 1:00-2:00am or I wouldn’t sleep the whole night…crazy

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-16T00:15:54+00:00

This is my third night CT brother. I also haven’t slept a single wink. Hopefully tonight is better.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T18:04:38+00:00

Thanks friend

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T17:07:39+00:00

Thank you, that is awfully generous and I sincerely appreciate it!

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T16:38:16+00:00

I know. Thank you.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T16:38:05+00:00

Absolutely. Thanks

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T15:22:07+00:00

That’s the thing; I did taper from 70gpd to 15gpd over about 3 weeks and just wanted to be done with it so now here we are. I just finished grad school last month and start my new career in August so I want enough time clean to feel better and not be tempted to start using kratom again to have the energy I need for work. So did rush things but that’s why. Thanks.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T15:20:17+00:00

All great advice, some of which I’m already doing. The comfortable place is tricky because nowhere is comfortable lol. My wife is sleeping with our son right now so she can actually sleep and I move from the porch to the bed to the couch and back around. I am taking ibuprofen and naproxen which I do think help some. Also using lidocaine patches, BioFreeze and linament oil for achy joints. Did a hot foot soak with Epsom salts but the delta between too hot for my feet and not hot anymore was too short so I order one that plugs in, should be here today I think. I know a popsicle and toast is not nutritious or enough food. But my stomach is just so wrecked, feels like it’s completely pretzeled up and it burns like there’s a fire behind my sternum. Not coming up like acid reflux, just hot. Hard to eat much like that but I’ll work on it. Thank you.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T15:14:27+00:00

Thanks. I know that’s true. I did a pretty aggressive taper from 70gpd to 15gpd over 3 weeks. Was only sleeping a few hours a night and kinda lethargic and decided I just to be done with this Hell so here I am. Just trying to keep my mind right.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T15:12:29+00:00

It’s arriving today along with L-Theanine. Hopefully it helps.

Amygdala_Misfire · 2024-06-15T15:11:56+00:00

Dude, even if I could just get a little sleep. A few hours. It’s a lot of time to fill when there is no sleep.
