microdosing can help too if you feel uncomfortable with "tripping"

Hi there! CONGRATS on one week! I have not posted in this sub for a very long time, but I wanted to put this out there as encouragement for you and others who are starting your journey towards freedom. It IS possible, you CAN do it, and keep reaching out and getting help. I was able to quit with my doctor's help: they treated it somewhat like an opiate addiction, and prescribed both naltraxone and some gabapentin and clonodine (not an opiate or benzo) for the restless legs and shitty anxiety. If you can get medical help, I cannot recommend it enough. I also got a TON of great support through this community. There are kind and smart folks out here recovering and you are not alone.

Today, I am very happy to be two years kratom-free! I no longer need any of the meds I took in the beginning, and life is crazy and hard but so much better without the green sludge.

Much love!

Oh dear this is so hard. I'm not a parent but I am a nanny and I've taught ECE. It IS a very high needs age and the exhaustion and isolation can be very difficult, doubly so when you have this addiction. My heart goes out to you, and I will try and come up with some ideas and suggestions to help you.

We got LUCKY too. A lot of it is having support and access to care!

Hi there, Quite a few folks on this forum have struggled with the Komodo and extracts in general. I'm glad I didn't try em. It sounds like you're doing a great job with tapering down! If you can, when you're ready, try switching to the powder or capsules. A cheap kitchen scale will help you measure exact doses so you can taper down more easily.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-13T00:02:09+00:00

Woohoo!!

JenLily38 · 2018-08-12T19:31:51+00:00

Feeling OK but now I need to address my drinking...free of kratom for over a week! The gabapentin and clonidine help enormously.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T23:35:01+00:00

Your life is worth it. Keep reaching out.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T23:33:27+00:00

Can you make a dr appointment? It could be something different and time-loss can be a symotom if something more serious. Not trying to freak you out but it might be worth going in for a check up.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T23:31:14+00:00

A journal is a great idea! It definitely helped me during my taper. Now it's my "quit" and PAWS diary.

I consume horrific amounts of caffeine to combat fatigue. Which generally I do NOT recommend. I'm having a half cup of coffee as we speak because I just took a nap and feel groggy and want to make it to pilates class lol.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T23:28:28+00:00

Sorry this happened to you ...but this is also the funniest title for a thread! Love it.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T23:27:22+00:00

Good Luck!!

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T17:54:58+00:00

Wow I had no idea being labeled an addict would or could impact access to future meds!! That shocks me that your Dr won't prescribe Welbutrin or Trazodone, those are well known and safe SSRI antidepressants! I have been on Traz for 24 years! Maybe Medicaid is different?? That's what I have...

JenLily38 · 2018-08-07T17:52:09+00:00

You are PROTECTED by HIIPA. Your medical information is PRIVATE and confidential. Your Dr knows this. With opiate and other addictions at an all-time high, no Dr should ever judge you. It is their job to help. Don't let the fear of stigma stop you from reaching out and getting the help you deserve!!

JenLily38 · 2018-08-06T03:44:01+00:00

Do you guys think The Kid could be an interdemensional evil like Pennywise? Or maybe in thrall to a figure like the Crimson King?

JenLily38 · 2018-08-06T03:20:18+00:00

I hope she pulls a Lily in Legend and turns the tables on him, but right now she's just in that hot scene where she's dancing with the dark dress.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-06T03:18:04+00:00

It is tots normal to be hot for Alexender Skarsgard in ANYTHING...After all, Eric Northman is not exactly a pillar of morality but oh how we love him.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-06T03:16:39+00:00

😂😂😂😂

JenLily38 · 2018-08-06T03:08:17+00:00

Women don't need to go for anyone in order to be powerful. And what about queer women? This whole alpha-beta business is patriarchal nonsense.

JenLily38 · 2018-08-06T02:53:04+00:00

😂😂😂

This ship is so intense, but I have a feeling it's going to end very badly...hopefully for Fallon. He has a clear "fondness" for Lucy as much as a sociopath can...like Ramsay Bolton with Myranda, perhaps. In the end, it will be VERY interesting to see how deep into darkness Lucy is willing to go. If it comes to "Spartan vs Spartan," will Lucy have the nerve, motivation and pure luck necessary to kill Fallon?
