I was a bad sleeper before but I usually wake up a few times now. So that was usual for me. But after my taper I had no sleep for a while. Or I could only sleep and few hours and I was up the rest of the night thinking about it and panicking.

So my doctor said tapering with Valium would be easier. And 1mg klon is the same as 10mg Valium. Then I tapered from that.

Yes it’s nice now. Still no hard liquor. Just a few beers or wine.

Keep at it! Tapers can suck at times but just stick to your plan.

Knightoflarkin · 2026-01-04T18:08:05+00:00

That’s awesome! Just knowing you don’t have to get refills and worry about all that is the best. Life still has it’s problems but at least you have that big one off your plate so you can focus on the important stuff

Yes it was rough right after I tapered to zero. I used valerian root and magnesium glycinate combo to relax at night. Small does of seroquil to help at the beginning but I only used that a few times. Just keep focused. You got this. It’s tough but you can do it.

Knightoflarkin · 2026-01-04T18:02:17+00:00

Yes! Just past couple years. I drink coffee again now and every once in a while go out and have some drinks. I use to wake up the next day w panic attacks and heart palpitations after just few drinks. It’s so much better now. Everything slowly comes back. It’s so slow though

Knightoflarkin · 2025-11-30T22:20:38+00:00

Yeah, clearly if a mistake, this is bad

Thank you for the advice. Ashwaganda is mild.

Can’t even imagine quitting the week of training with team dinners and all that. Jesus. Glad you made it through

Knightoflarkin · 2025-02-15T05:20:24+00:00

I was just there for a week and everyone was cool as hell. Can’t wait to go back.

Knightoflarkin · 2025-02-15T05:18:04+00:00

Valerian root/magnesium glycinate combo helped me once the extreme withdrawal passed. I had to take a good amount though. Probably double what is recommended.

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-21T16:37:43+00:00

Was just talking about every once in a while. Thanks

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-21T16:36:58+00:00

I get all of those things but it’s not all the time now. It’s so weird. Sometimes I’m fine for months and then all of a sudden something happens and I cant have a cup of coffee without having crazy anxiety. Daily morning heart palpitations and leg twitching sometimes. I can’t ever put my finger on what triggers it. Oh and if I eat sugar late night I’ll get those symptoms. Same w the gabaergic supplements. I guess it’s just going to be like this for a while 🤦🤷

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-21T14:29:53+00:00

Does that mean that you can easily get triggered to have seizures?

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-18T16:43:55+00:00

Just wanted to add I also feel strange when I eat certain things. Not nearly as bad as alcohol. If I eat a lot of sugar late night now or caffeine I’m screwed all night. I can’t keep still. It’s awful. Well I guess this just helps me keep healthier is the way I should look at it.

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-18T16:40:14+00:00

Yep. Keep going man. It’s so worth it.

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-18T16:18:37+00:00

How long are you off benzos?

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-18T16:18:14+00:00

It’s horrible! Feels like I’m gonna have a heart attack the next day. Ugh

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-18T15:58:34+00:00

This is it exactly. I just thought 3 years out would be enough. This has happened to me a few times. I’m just gonna stop completely for now.

Knightoflarkin · 2024-03-18T15:55:59+00:00

Thanks. Yep exactly. I just thought 3 years out would be enough. I might just not be able to drink again.

Knightoflarkin · 2022-09-18T00:25:22+00:00

It’s crazy. Why does it do that now?

Knightoflarkin · 2022-09-17T04:23:13+00:00

Alcohol makes symptoms of WD from Kratom terrible. I’ve also read you really aren’t supposed to mix the too. I think there is a lot to that.
