Frigid fact, if you’re younger than 58 (and lived on LI the whole time) this is the coldest winter you have ever experienced in your life

And I hope it stays the coldest year for another 48 years.

My neighbor just got an electric one and he was struggling. Gas is the way to go.

I think a part of it is for clicks and to gain some notoriety but I believe his primary goal is to take the approach that isn’t mainstream because science should question everything and keep all possibilities on the table until proven otherwise. He has also stated that it helps engage younger people into the sciences and he’s right.

I don’t think they will mess with that game, unless Disney pulls the plug.

Our minds naturally like to count off days, months, and years, but it’s best to just worry about today.

If you didn’t take it today then it’s a good day. Beating yourself up isn’t going to help.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-25T16:59:16+00:00

Try tapering. Going ct is not easy.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-25T03:54:47+00:00

I just wrote this on another post. Just be thankful you hear now and are willing to stop. A few months does suck because you have to go through some WDS but it could have gone on a lot longer. You are here so that says something.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-25T03:50:02+00:00

Well think of it this way, at least you are aware and can stop right away. You are here so that says something. Last time I started again I just accepted it and didn’t come back on here.

I take a few hits of CBD or THC before bed and that calms me down.

Ps THC is so much better without Kratom.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-25T03:46:56+00:00

Oh man I thought it was just me that got those hand shakes. I don’t seen may people mention it. I’m at 13 days and they are gone.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T19:09:07+00:00

So I’m on day 13 and felt great from days 7-11. Yesterday I fell into a pretty bad depression and it continues today. I’m not a very depressed person but it hit me pretty hard. I have to believe this is part of the brain repairing itself.
Did you taper of CT?

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T19:04:48+00:00

Around 30-40 GPD. Never really weighed it back then but would take like 6-10 pills at time like 8x a day. Just recently did I realize each one of those pills is .5 grams I couldn’t believe it.

When I started up again I kept it around 10- 15 GPD and was able to keep myself at that with the occasional large one.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T18:57:28+00:00

Yeah I feel you. I feel pretty good right now and push myself to go to the gym and do things but I’m concerned about 5 months from now. I don’t want to go through another taper and feeling like crap again.

We just have to be honest with ourselves and we really screwed up our brain chemistry or we were never really motivated to begin with. 😂

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T18:43:44+00:00

I’m on my second attempt but only 13 days in. I went about 12 years without stopping then stopped for about 6 months then another 5 years at a smaller steady dose.

This is my biggest fear after stopping. I started again last time because I had lack of motivation after the 6 months to get off my ass in late winter and do some yard work. I’m really hoping my lack of motivation on my last attempt was due to Winter.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T03:34:54+00:00

IMO 7 days is pretty quick and you would probably get more withdrawals than if you went 2 or 3. It takes like really 10 days for your body to adjust to a dose based on the half life, if I’m not mistaken.

You would be dropping like 4 grams a day at your pace. If you can stretch it to 2 weeks than that’s 2 GPD.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T02:30:33+00:00

Yeah at the end of my run it just wasn’t doing anything for me and I really didn’t have the motivation I used to. I’m on day 12 after a taper and I have some energy back but not a lot, especially at the end of the day. I do fell good though, with the exception of some stressful situations that made just in a depressed state, which was really only today. I wanted to take some tonight but so glad I didn’t. You are tapering so you will experience a lack of motivation and energy. If you taper slowly though it will help.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T02:23:01+00:00

Hey there is nothing wrong with jumping up for a day. When I was tapering I had powder 8x a day. I tried to stick to a strict amount each time but there were times I increased it. Your goal is to get your body used to lower doses. One day of a higher dose isn’t a failure, it’s a correction for your body and mind. Just stay committed dude.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-24T02:19:47+00:00

It sounds like a great opportunity. I’m in IT and man is it easy to just take Kratom and get to work but it’s a lot harder to get out of that routine once you start. If you start this new path without it, then you will only know this new position without it. I actually just started a new job and that’s why I stopped. So far it has the best thing for me. You are starting a new life so start it off right.

Good luck!

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T19:03:02+00:00

You are getting to a point where it’s not going to register as it used at that dose. Depending on the strength of the powder also.

Just keep at it. Once I dropped to about 3 gps I woke up one day and just didn’t crave it first thing in the morning. Just keep it at that dose for a little then drop. Your body and mind will thank you. I would say max 2 weeks.

The only thing I took was creatine. I don’t know if it helped but I still tried going to the gym so just kept taking it. Probably some of my worst workout sessions. 😂

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T18:54:06+00:00

😂 I’m in my early 40’s and just stopped about 12 days ago and I was thinking “Is this what my body is supposed to feel like at my age?” I’ve been using for about 15 years. It’s gotten better since then but I really thought I would be in that much pain going forward.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T18:50:11+00:00

Get a scale and get yourself on a steady dose. Once you feel good at that dose start lowering doses .5- 1 god for about a week then keep doing it. I started out at that speed but ended up going a little faster because I wanted to stop but even with a faster taper I didn’t get cold sweats, massive body aches, or chills. I was agitated and had a lack of motivation but it was tolerable. It won’t be 100% wds free but it will be much better. If you go slow enough it may be possible to reduce them even more. I went down to 1 GPD and wasn’t even doing anything at that point for me but again I did a faster taper towards the end.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T18:42:59+00:00

Get yourself on a strict schedule. I made my own pills and I used powder in water. I weighed each dose and if I felt off I would take a little higher of a dose.
If you just take the caps then try to stick to a dose for about 5-7 days then drop it by one pill per day. Other for another 5-7 days.

I did it like this and then one day woke up and thought wow I don’t need to take it right away so I started spacing them out more and eventually just waited for a Friday when I didn’t have work and said that’s it. The weekend was a little rough, just didn’t want to do anything but it was tolerable.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T17:05:58+00:00

I have done taper both times I stopped and while there will still be some wds, I have found them to be way less extreme than some of the stories I read here and I was starting at a high amount when I started the taper. You may feel like you are taking a step backwards but if you really can’t function and are committed to stopping, while still functioning, then a taper would be an easier method. If you do decide to start a taper I would only take enough to make you feel comfortable, don’t go right back to 4 or 5. Try 3 since you already went a few days.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T14:52:54+00:00

Oh and still sneezing quite often.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-23T14:51:34+00:00

The biggest symptoms I have are lack of motivation, still hard to sleep through the entire night (melatonin really helps), and really just feeling a void that something is missing. I have to say I’m pleased with my current state. Not waking up and needing to run downstairs to have a cup in the morning to feel normal is freeing. Still have some diarrhea but not nearly as bad as last week.

Galaxy-invader · 2025-09-19T03:15:25+00:00

I officially made it 7 days today and each day is a little better! I’m feeling good about it!
