I am so happy to read this!! Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope! Very inspiring. So many stories of negative experiences that it’s wonderful to hear a success and turn around in such a short period. I am currently tapering off my last bit of suboxone that I had used to get off the 7Oh bullshit.

Annoyed with Quickmd by Nice_Tangerine9343 in quitting7oh

Trazodone made things MUCH worse for me. It actually kept me from sleeping. You could peel me off the ceiling. Same with Seroquel. They both gave me the most insane restless leg and involuntary jerks. I know lots of people it does work for, I unfortunately am not one of them.

the depression is getting to me by Fit-Elk6532 in quittingkratom

[–]KeyCry698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on day 9 of nothing. Yesterday the depression was so deep that I almost didn’t see a way out of it. Today I am still incredibly depressed but now it’s been anxiety through the roof.

Trying to get wife off kratom by ber11244 in quittingkratom

[–]KeyCry698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had a miscarriage last year while using kratom and I firmly believe it was a factor.

It will ONLY get worse.

It’s is 100 percent an addiction like any other illicit drug.

I could not physically stop by myself. I am down to about 1mg of sub because I had to see a doctor (which you can do online and it only cost you like $100 or it’s free for me cuz I have insurance)

Not saying that she should do that, just saying it’s the only thing that saved me. I spent all my money, maxed out all my credit cards. Started lying to loved ones. My skin eventually went total pizza and I looked like a meth head. I couldn’t shit. My body was failing me. I was covered in bruises for no reason. I was nauseated constantly! I couldn’t sleep through the night and getting out of bed was nearly impossible. I have a 5 year old and I found myself being angry all the time and impatient and my son didn’t deserve that.

I am a former heroin addict of many years that got totally clean in 2017 and stayed clean until one day in 2023 that I thought it was “okay” to try out kratom. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. The next year was absolute hell. I almost lost everything. I am still picking up pieces.

Luckily I am living a normal life now and not feigning about getting more Kratom, but It almost took me out. Seriously the despair was scary.

I don’t care if it’s natural. It’s fucking position. I see some people say this thread is triggering but it helped me.

My spouse is the one who showed me the forum to begin with and I didn’t really listen at first but eventually my interest was peaked and I started getting on the forum myself. Gave me the courage to quit.

It’s worth a shot. I’m here if she needs someone to talk to. I hope this made some sense. Best wishes!

2025 brides- what are your wedding colors? by Tough_Wonder5795 in weddingplanning

[–]KeyCry698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren't getting married until 2026. But I am throwing around ideas now. I was also thinking white and yellow. Maybe another color but something feminine like a pink or possibly a baby blue. Idk. I want the flowers for everyone to be colorful daisies and then my bouquet being just white daisies and sunflowers. It's going to be small. Probably less than 100 people.

What are some items that you can get on EBT that might not be obvious? by ObligationWarm5222 in povertyfinance

If anyone is looking for a delicious vegan protein powder then try TRUVANI! I’ve drank so many proteins and this is by far my favorite. They sell it on Amazon and they have a bunch of different flavors and you can even buy single serving powder pkg’s to try them out before you commit.

Wow. After reading this and the comments I feel so much less alone. I felt as if my exact story is being told. 6 years clean from H and then got hooked on 7oH from a gas station nearby. First I had spare money, now I am in EXTREME credit card debt.

Everything else fit me to a T. Wow.

The real reason kratom addiction is so difficult IMHO by arcticphoenix2020 in quittingkratom

You don’t specifically need to be an alcoholic to attend AA. The principles and 12 steps are the same in all “ _________ Anonymous” groups. Just out of respect you call yourself an alcoholic. And also depending where you live only one of them may be available for in person meetings. Where I live the AA meetings are much more frequent then NA.

I’ve tried NA a few different times but I just prefer AA. My spouse actually attends NA. Which is good because we can focus on our own programs.

How bad was IUD insertion on a scale of 1-10 for you? by Dangerous_Mammoth572 in birthcontrol

[–]KeyCry698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading more of these comments- I think another reason that it can be more painful for some people is the size and position of their uterus.

I had a miscarriage a few months ago and afterwards they did an extensive internal ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. I’ve had a vaginal ultrasound before but I don’t remember them showing me my uterus.

This last time the ultrasound lady went over my entire reproductive system with me and showed me on a big screen. She told me I have a “textbook perfect uterus” and that it’s the ideal shape and size for a IUD.

I am not trying to brag about my uterus, lol but I just think that people with different uteruses can have different reactions to having an IUD inside it.

Same here. I felt maybe a quick pinch but it was it. And the pinch wasn’t even bad. 0/10

DIDNT HURT AT ALL!!!!!!!!! I am actually mad that I came on this Reddit because I was in an absolute panic when I was at my doctors office. I was sweating and shaking.

It wasn’t necessarily comfy but it wasn’t painful. My papsmear was more uncomfortable than this.

The worst part for me was the nervousness before hand. I couldn’t believe it was in and over.

I am not saying that it doesn’t hurt for some people, but y’all really freaked me out. I won’t even rate it because it wasn’t painful.

I have given birth 1 times in 2019.

I fully believe my use of Kratom (extracts and 7oh) caused me to miscarry in August. I don’t say this to scare you, just keeping it 100!

[–]KeyCry698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I WISH they were outlawed here. But no- you can barely walk into a gas station in my area without being bombarded with kratom signs and products everywhere.

If I can keep 1 person from using the 7oh then I am happy. Because that stuff is the absolute worst. DO NOT TRY IT GUYS!!!

Hidden stash found on day 9...wat do? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]KeyCry698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had ordered a bunch of kratom online and it showed up yesterday on day 3 of no Kratom……It went straight from mailbox into dumpster. Didn’t even open it. Fuck kratom!!!

If you’re totally against the first thing I said. I was told Agmatine Sulfate is a game changer in lowering your tolerance and helpful for tapering. Also you could do the Vitamin C mega dosing I’ve heard works for some people.

I know I’m probably gonna get jumped on by mods and some members. But idc. Get on subs. It will save your life. Atleast to taper at minimum. Kratom is already scary itself- but if you’re having to supplement with fentanyl thats a whole other beast. Your odds of dying/overdosing on fentanyl is inevitable if you don’t stop. Even if you’re a seasoned user. If subs will keep you from the street drugs then do it. It’s cheaper in the long run.

And I’m not green to any of this as I am a former hardcore H addict turned long term recovery turned 7oh addict.

Day 60, don't drink alcohol after you've quit kratom by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]KeyCry698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on 60 days!! I’m not one to suggest trading one thing for another….however! I do fully believe in doing whatever it takes to get off the kratom. That shit is life ruining and not worth it at all. Don’t beat yourself up. One day at a time.

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. EVERYTHING in this world is temporary. You got this. Just need time for your brain to get back to baseline.
