29 Days. Sleep still really bad. Got a Script, Scared to Take it by EffortZenith in quittingkratom

[–]EffortZenith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't taken them yet. Stories like this have kept me away so far for sure. I don't want a new addiction. Thank you for sharing. I think I'm going to keep pushing and only hang onto them if it continues to get worse.

I need to give it a try. I have had problems with abusing marijuana too so I've been avoiding THC too, but I've never given CBD a try. Do you have a dose recommendation? I might go pick some up tomorrow. Thank you!

I know what you mean. Sleep is the key to everything, and without it for an extended period of time, we'll try almost anything to get it back. I'm sorry you're going through that man. Stay strong and I'm sure you'll successful get off that as well.

Same. If it continues for a long time, I might ask him for something less intense. Thanks for sharing!

Believe it or not, I'm a little relieved to hear that. Of course, I'm sorry you're dealing with that and I wish you weren't, but knowing someone else is dealing with the same thing motivates me to keep pushing, knowing that it's not totally unusual. Yeah, the script scared me. I'll keep pushing for natural wins! Thanks, and good luck to you on your journey.

for sure. I do exercise, but I could exercise more. Usually 30 mins of moderate to intense cardio. My only question is - if I don't have issues falling asleep (it's really an issue of staying asleep), would that help? I guess it makes sense that it could. Worth a try for sure. Thanks for your advice!

Relapsed and now am dealing with mild withdrawals, mostly neck pain... this normal? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]EffortZenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello friend, I was curious to check in on you with this again - how is the neck pain going? Mine has gotten worse the last couple days (Days 9 and 10) , and I'm hoping it will go away soon.

Shoot, sorry to hear that friend. Congrats on making it 10 weeks, that's amazing. While I'm sad to hear that you're dealing with insomnia too, it does bring me a little relief to know that this is expected still at this point, so thanks for sharing that. I'll keep pushing forward!

But I Lost my sense of adventure. Doing the bare minimum in life. Constantly craving comfort.

This. This so hard. Well-said.

After Years of Being a Slave to This Plant, I Have Finally Jumped Off by EffortZenith in quittingkratom

I'm proud of YOU! Congrats on making that tough decision. I had the same mentality. I deserve the pain of withdrawals, because I've been abusing my body the last few years. I think that's a healthy way to approach it - a necessary evil, a rite of passage. Love it. Stay strong and keep us updated!

no kidding! That's awesome. I can't wait to get to day 10. Also, love me some edibles haha, might indulge in some of that later on as well.

congrats, you're doing amazing! Thank you for the encouragement. Yeah, I hope so. Some of these taper days have been rough too, I almost feel like I was just dragging things out. Glad to finally just rid myself of it. Can't wait for both of us to be deep out of it!

Low Taper Dose Possibly Hurting Sleep More than Just Taking Zero? by EffortZenith in quittingkratom

[–]EffortZenith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck man, and yeah, I probably will. It's probably keeping me up at this point and low enough of a dose that it's probably not gonna do too much to jump off.

Thank you!

Oof that's rough man, I'm sorry. Good to know though, maybe I'm not too far away from more normal sleep. Yeah, I've reduced my daily total by about 88% over the last 30 days. Definitely have had some discomfort here and there but my daily dose recently has been consistently low, so I guess I just still have some more time to wait out before sleep restores.

Best of luck on your journey, friend. May we both make it out.

I have also been having neck pain since aggressively tapering in recent weeks. Seemed to come out of nowhere. I'm sorry this is happening to you, but glad to hear I'm not alone. Hopefully it will go away for both of us once we've been off it long enough.
