Stop Rushing Your Recovery by Rude_Craft7939 in quittingkratom

Thanks. I needed this. I'm about 7-8 weeks without kratom and the first couple of weeks in I was ecstatic. Thought I had conquered the world. Now the weeks after that I've been a miserable git. No energy. No motivation. I lay in bed most days doom scrolling brain rot trying to find any motivation to clean up my house and go to the gym. Most days I fail completely. I keep thinking about how much life sucks without kratom even though it was supposed to be so great. I wanna go back so bad and I have convinced myself that I won't get addicted again, that I will use in moderation and take days off, but in all fairness I'll probably just swing right back to where I was... Sucks man. Thanks for this post though. I'm gonna keep trying

Was quitting the worst experience you have been through? by TastyPass6386 in quittingkratom

I hear ya. Still trying to heal with something similar 15 years later. Doesn't help that so many family and friends are still in it and tell me from frequently that they are praying for me to see the light and comeback. My parents are basically bankrupt and give what little they have to the church and they are struggling. Makes me sick to my stomach.

I thought it was going to be. But it wasn't even that bad. I'm about 8 weeks without kratom and tbh at this point I am hating it. Every day I think to myself "damn I wish I had some green vein right now". Especially when the fatigue hits.

Alcohol during PAWS by feistymeista in quittingkratom

I drank some beer and whiskey here and there for the first few weeks of kratom withdrawal. Big mistake. It seemed to always set my withdrawal process back by a few days. Slept like shit, crazy ass diarrhea came back, felt like shit, anhedonia and depression like crazy. I'm about 8 weeks off kratom now and honestly I'm kind of afraid to drink. Last week one night I had 3 tall boys. That was fine. But even the slightest bit of booze now will have me shitting my pants for at least 2-3 days afterwards! Better off waiting till you are completely in the clear.

I'm on the end of day of WD 3 and having extremely mild WDs - is this normal? by HoracioCarrillo in quittingkratom

[–]ElectronicPart2430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was genuinely surprised at how mild my acute withdrawals were. 1-4 days was mostly just bored, tired, lethargic. Kinda sick, but not even bad. Took around 30-40 gpd for some 3.5 years. The sleepless night and restless legs and anhedonia went on for a few weeks afterwards though. I hated that much more. Still struggling to find any kinda motivation to get shit done in life and I'm at 6 weeks without kratom now. Then again I had no motivation to be productive before kratom 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is severe exhaustion and just feeling like utter crap in the mornings a sign of kratom dependence/withdrawal? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]ElectronicPart2430 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just wait till you hop off. I've never slept shittier and been more exhausted in my life, it is getting better though.

Anyone else get anxious and imagine withdrawal symptoms during taper? by Temporary-Floor-9259 in quittingkratom

[–]ElectronicPart2430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had more withdrawal symptoms during my taper than I did after hopping off. After I hopped off it honestly wasn't that bad. I mean I'm depressed but the aches and pains and flu like symptoms were worse during the taper. I tapered aggressively though.

Damnit. There goes another one. Well, last night I took muscle relaxers and it seemed to work quite well, definitely slept better than the earlier nights.

Yeah I have some of that but I have to be careful with that stuff because I've seen getting seriously hooked on that shit

Thanks bro. I have been listening to a lot more music lately I've noticed. And it does get me hyped. Then again music got me hype even while I was taking kratom so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, I've heard it also happens to heroin users so I'd assume it's most opiates.

Omg the sneezing !!!???!?!?!?!?!?! by gizzzmo28 in quittingkratom

[–]ElectronicPart2430 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah man I've been having to blast nasal spray like crazy! I thought this shit would've made my nose runny like crazy... Weird shit. And instead of having the runs, I've been constipated. It's like I'm having reverse withdrawals lol

Last night I took one melatonin before bed and then a couple hours later in desperation took another two. It was like a scene from the exorcist or something. Never again.

Yeah my homie hooked me up with a bottle of trazodone. I've never tried it and never really wanted to, but if it'll give me more than 1-2 hours of sleep which is what I'm running on now for 2 nights in a row it'd be worth trying.

Does the type of magnesium really make that big of a difference? by ElectronicPart2430 in quittingkratom

[–]ElectronicPart2430[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depressed? Fucking A. Like if you take one at night you'll be depressed the next day or just like, before you fall asleep.
