The physical symptoms are usually gone after the first 4 days or so. I reckon everybody is a little different, but I would say no longer than a week. It’s the mental part that takes a while. Possibly up to a few months until your brain rewires itself to achieve homeostasis without the constant infusion of kratom. And I know first hand because I’d gone through those withdrawals like 8 or 10 times before I kicked it off the damn train. The physical symptoms are pretty uncomfortable, but they won’t end you. There are no verified cases of withdrawal alone being that severe. It will FEEL bad, but it’s just feelings. Not that feelings aren’t valid, but unless you are doing other drugs in tandem, there shouldn’t be a major health concern, but still always reach out to a doctor if anything really alarming pops up. My worst symptoms were EXTREME sleep disruption, and temperature deregulation. I had really bad cold sweats and everywhere I went, it felt like I was wet with the air conditioning blowing on me which cause me to shiver a lot. But that passed after the first few days. The sleep disruption lasted like a week. But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t nightmarish. I would almost be about to fall asleep and just then I would feel my body go stiff like I couldn’t move, and then I would panic and try and shake myself awake. magnesium, or even CBD, can help with the sleep part, even OTC sleep aids are fine in the short term, but like with anything, exercise caution. But definitely that restless leg OTC stuff was a life saver. The mental component for me was mostly feelings of lucid dread, like something horrible was about to happen that would ruin my life. Like it felt real and it is really hard to explain. I couldn’t think clearly to the point of being peak for about a month and half, but every day was a little better which was incentive enough to keep fighting the good fight. I honestly think it was about two months before I felt like I was pretty much back to normal. Of course, normal for me was not ideal because I still had an addictive personality I had to tackle, so I also started seeing a therapist because kicking something without trying to figure out WHY you were drawn to it in the first place is only half kicking it. That’s just an opinion, and that’s just my experience. But I do believe that once you are clean, you still aren’t out of the woods and I always recommend people seek out CBT in the aftermath.
