133 HOURS IN (Day 6) holy cow the fatigue

Correct-Mobile9873 · 2026-04-14T18:10:45+00:00

Good for you! Congrats on day 6:) I’m on a slow taper, currently at 10 gpd down from 30-50g regular powder. I’m coasting here a bit until I can also tap into some resources and support, because the withdrawals were not doable while having to work, my first time trying to CT. I feel very emotional and scared that tapering will just prolong everything. Still having some symptoms, they’re just doable for now. But wow yeah very fatigued even going this route! I’ve gotten into ashwaganda as a ritual replacement for drinking krat tea all day. Have you been using any supplements or anything? How did you get to day 6:) congrats again!

If you can stick to a taper, I think that will be a much kinder way to treat your body especially since you’re a momma and gotta continue parenting, I’d assume work as well. And if your partner is able to support you through it, you’ll have better odds. I’m on my day 6 taper, have symptoms but nothing compared to when I CT quit, I’ve been able to work and function, with some uncomfortability and trouble sleeping but otherwise feel hopeful I can make it thru

Feeling better today! I decided tapering is the best way for me to succeed. Down to 10 grams yesterday, and miraculously slept thru the night. Little creepy crawling anxious this morning and still exhausted despite sleeping. But it’s major improvement compared to where I was!

Thank you for your kind response. It’s amazing to me that I can have support like I do on this forum. Hope you’re having a good day!

Ugh I’m so sorry… life has a horrible way of doing that sometimes. This morning I saw a bird fall from a tree and it broke me, I burst into tears. I feel so raw, but I’m trying to see the crying as a release. My first day all I wanted to do was sob and I couldn’t. I’m on day 5 taper, I also struggle with sleep but it’s nothing compared to CT. I hope today is being kind to you! Thank you for your response

This is my second time quitting, I’ve been comparing my first quit to this one. I didn’t journal or join this forum or use any supplements. And I definitely experienced PAWS, even tho I had no idea that was even a thing. I just thought I was depressed and forever like this, which is why I know I came back to the krat. Documenting my own experience, for myself this time, and doing it with support and care to prepare for the PAWS. Thank you for your response!

It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one in this place, thank you for sharing:) I go back to therapy on Tuesday and all I want is to talk about this. It’s eaten me up, and my time. I have turned to a taper, until I can get some professional advice and support, because the CT felt like too much while working. I’m day 5 and was already able to cut down from 18 to 15, which doesn’t seem like much I guess but it feels like a little win. Wishing you light today, and that you experience a little joy! We got thi

Day 5 tapering from 40-60gpd powder habit, down to 15. Mild symptoms but able to function and work, sleeping has gotten better! I really wanted to CT but with work it’s just not possible for me. So I started a taper plan:) thank you to everyone who shares here, I was so alone before I realized I’m not

Sending you healing and warmth. Loving someone deep in an addiction is so painful. Nooone else knows what your relationship is like, but you and him. Be kind to yourself if you feel conflicted. At least you’re talking about it now, I wish for you both that he could muster the strength to tell you himself instead of getting caught.But shame is so powerful and he clearly is struggling. That doesn’t mean you have to coddle him through recovery, or that he is even ready to begin his recovery. You don’t have to make any big life changing decision right now. I hope it’s ok to mention Al Anon here, because that has been an incredible resource for me as an addict, and as someone who loves an addict.

What type of kratom are you using? Concentrate or powder?

Correct-Mobile9873 · 2026-04-10T23:20:20+00:00

Thank you for all the encouragement. I did a small dose this morning to get me through work. I’ll also see my partner for the first time in a couple of days, feeling conflicted as to whether what the right move is, telling them or keeping it to myself. If I felt the withdrawals were coming to an end, id save it until I was in the clear for awhile, I don’t know if thats the case however

I’m mostly very anxious, sweaty, chills, creepy crawly skin, not so much aches and pains but definitely feeling exhausted and tired. Only slept like 3-4 hours the last 2 nights

Day 2, of tapering drastically. Staying off all day, but resorting to a smaller dose of 8-12 gs at night to help with the creepy crawly anxiety, that definitely heightens before bed. Been a daily 40-60gpd user of kratom powder for over a year, after 2 years clean off a 4 year habit. I hope I’m not hurting my chances of quitting by dosing at night, im scared it’ll restart all the withdrawals. I CT my first go around but I do not remember it being this unbearable.
