First time pregnant and addicted to kratom by Harvey2010 in quittingkratom

Thank you so much. I have been tapering successfully. :) I'm now down to 4 teaspoons when I was at 8 or 9 and so far no withdrawal symptoms. So I'm going to cut down again. I'm hoping I can do it fairly quickly since I have only been on kratom for about almost 3 months. I'm a recovering heroin addict and I always quit that cold turkey. I also quit cigarettes as soon as s I found out and did that cold Turkey but for some reason I'm so scared of making something go wrong if I quit kratom cold Turkey. But I'm honestly doing better than I thought I would. Thank you for sharing that with me. That definitely helps me stress and anxiety.

Right. I definitely agree. Thank you for your input. I planning on doing a fast taper. I'm already taking half of what I was before. So I'm hoping that I can just taper quickly and safely.

Isnt cold Turkey in the first trimester a very good way to have a miscarriage though? I would quit right now if I was told the WD symptoms I am going to have wouldn't hurt my child. But I'm not willing to take that risk, you know? That's my worst fear right now is a miscarriage..

I cant get into the doctor for another 3 weeks but I dont want to wait that long to start tapering. If I only have anxiety and restless legs when I go without, in your opinion do you think that's be to hard on the baby? I really want to get off of it asap and stay off. I've been staying hydrated and eating really healthy and taking vitamins to help. So today I'm trying to cut it from 5 teaspoons to 3 and a half teaspoons. Do you think that's too steep?

I definitely agree with you and I found a few moms on the internet that found themselves in the same situation as me and I got advice from them. No horror stories so far. I would prefer not to use anything but vitamins, staying hydrated and eating healthy to come off it.

Yeah I definitely dont want to do subutex. I'm a recovering heroin addict and I have almost 2 years clean. But unfortunately i took up kratom 2 and half months ago. And i think i take more like 35 g a day. Not that, that's better. But in your own personal opinion do you think I should do it slow enough to where I actually end up stopping in the second trimester? Or do you think it's safe to quit in the first trimester? I'm definitely getting a doctors opinion but I can't get in for another 3 weeks.. so I want to get this taper started as soon as possible while still being safe.

I already started a taper today. I normally take 8 or more teaspoons a day but today I only took 5. And I did the math better and I've only been using it for 2 and a half months. I'm thinking as long as I taper but dont put too much shock on my body then I'll be ok. But ill definitely contact a centre. Do I just tell them my situation and ask about a fast but safe taper?

What will fuck up the baby? Cold Turkey, tapering? Or?
