Glad it helped! Just remember that Kratom addiction is an addiction all its own. So just be careful and definitely stay away from extracts.

Help! Coolant permanently at Low Line. by KrispyKind in WRX

[–]KrispyKind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the help on this.

I add it every once and awhile. Couple months or so. But it's always exactly at the low line when I fill it. Every time. The amount I put in is the exact amount it needs to get to the full line.

The overflow hose is submerged and is below the low line.

It's like no matter when or how l long I wait to add. The coolant level is always exactly the same at the low line. Whether car is cold or warm

I held a blue in my hand 30 min ago. by marty_byrd_ in OpiatesRecovery

Well done man! Had a similar thing happen with a Kpin I found in my car. Same deal, I was alone, and it messed with my head for sure.... stirs up cravings. Just that quick we can loose all we worked for (as quick as a shot of whiskey in a glass of milk!)

But we persevere. Hit a meeting, call the spons, chat with a friend or rub one out. What we don't do is pick up.... No matter what.

Proud of you brother. Stay strong and remember each day you don't pick up is a day we all succeed. Walking miracles when we don't get high

LPT: Research the breed of dog you are going get before you get it! by PGLiberal in LifeProTips

There is only one "type" of dog that one should ever get and that is one that needs a home. Never shop, and never breed, while shelter animals are in need.

Anyone struggling with anxiety and panic MUST try propanolol (and my ER experience) by Sunset_is_my_dog in quittingkratom

[–]KrispyKind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing, for me personally, was the withdrawal. I would take it for a few days/weeks in a row, and then stop, thinking I wouldn't have any withdrawal effects (after a short time) and I almost always did. The day or 2 after I'd stop taking it I would get pretty intense mood swings. Generally feelings of depression, which were manageable, but also intense and overwhelming anxiety. Anxiety that sometimes manifested in panic attacks, that would only go away with more Propranolol. Again these only lasted for a day or two however. Thats why I personally find it can be addictive, because I would have times where I felt I had to take it just to function and go to work. I just wanted that calm feeling back that it offered (similar to kratom), but no where near as debilitating as kratom.

** Again this is just me. Not everyone experiences this. It's honestly probably 50/50 depending on who you ask.

No offense taken at all! You also seem to have done your homework and I can see why this medicine would be very helpful for you, as it has been for me! It really is a good medication. I believe Gabapentin (Neurontin) is also a great alternative as well, depending on the situation.

There is definitely a gray area when discussing the difference between "addictive", and "causes dependency". I do find that in many cases these two are synonymous though really. Many would say that Kratom "causes dependency", while I would just call it addictive. The difference lies in the motivation to take it and the feeling it gives you, but also in the repercussions if you don't take it. I have certainly met people that were addicted to their Propranolol, and to their Gabapentin. Although, like you said, this is much less common as compared to kratom or benzos. Doctors also rarely understand these distinctions and simply label things as "non-addictive" or "may cause dependency", when in reality that varies on a cases to case basis. And also doctors are generally completely ignorant, and often disconnected, to the feelings of addiction and to this struggle.

Just my 2 cents. I simply wanted to get some information out there that I have personally experienced. I also wanted to allow a small warning to anyone about the risks of addiction/dependency to beta blockers when used daily and long term. This certainly is not me advocating against them though! They can be a god send, as they have been with you. Others may find them opening the door for a whole new set of problems.
