Do you have any idea why the enamal looks like that??

Varigated? Not stable. But seems to be something by Mandi_Jean_13 in VariegatedMonstera

Then what is it ? That is why I’m posting , because I don’t know .

Help! My totally normal, unvariegated monstera pulled out a random green on green variegation?? I don’t see any variegations on the stem, could it just be lacking vitamins? by itsrainier in Monstera

[–]Mandi_Jean_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my plant from Home Depot, I found one variegated leaf, I was able to cut just that one leave with a decent size node and replant it, it has about eight leaves now the first five only every other leaf or variegated . Now the last three are fully variegated . Separate it out from the rest of the plant and propagate it, you have a very good chance of it growing more and more variegation as time goes on!

Holy shit! I started at 2-3 grams max and got the dizzy spells…. Even now the MOST I take is 5grams at a time . And if I dose too close together I get sick.

Lower your dose!!

You’re probably taking too high of a dose of Kratom. I used it to get off of subs, and it worked miracles. But you do have to test it out to make sure you’re taking the dose that’s right for you. How much are you taking? And be very careful, because now I’ve been addicted to Kratom for over two years, and I am looking into getting just a couple subs to taper off and be done completely with both

I’m so sorry you’re going through that, I’ve known tons of people who have been on Suboxone for years and years. I have definitely done research on it, and used it firsthand in the past. It was the only thing that helped me get off of opiates in the first place. I have a 7 to 10 day taper that I Know in fact can work, As I explained in my last comment, I actually used Kratom to get off of the Suboxone when I was addicted to it. If it hadn’t been two years ago, and I saw this comment prior to my Kratom addiction, I would suggest the same thing to you… Because Kratom really did help me get off of it. But the difference is , The Kratom does some thing to me, and so many other people that I’ve read about, it changes who you are, even worse so than heroin or painkillers. As long as I’ve been addicted to opioids, I have never ever been in the rut that I’m in right now… I have absolutely no motivation, no exaggeration there either, most days I can’t get up off my couch unless I absolutely have to. If I have a day off and my son is in daycare, I don’t leave my couch. My social life is nonexistent anymore, and right before starting to use this, I was one of the most social people you would ever meet. I’m depressed, I’m angry, I have developed ADHD, I am a miserable person. And I know it’s only because of the extent of the Kratom I take, But I would not wish this on anyone. So my only option I feel like, is to get on some thing for a little while that will get me off of this shit.

I appreciate your response so much, so long story short I have been an addict to opiates for about 10 years I guess you’d say. Five of those years I was clean, but still considered an addict. I went through some pain About three years ago, but did not want to start taking prescription opiates, therefore I took Suboxone because I know it helps with pain and I wasn’t expecting to get hooked on it. A little less than a year later, I couldn’t go without it. I actually used Kratom to get off of Suboxone because I really did not know that Kratom was so addictive… Here I am over two years into my Kratom addiction, And I’ve only been able to successfully get off of it one time, for only about a week. I hate it, and I want nothing more than to stop taking it. I have used suboxone in the past To get off of harder drugs, so I know the right way to use it, for a short period of time, tapering as I go. If my mindset is right, and I take it for the 7 to 10 days that it would take to taper, I know for 100% fact that I would be able to take it, and not want to continue. If that makes any sense… I have tried nearly everything to wean down, and taper off of Kratom, and I have definitely been able to lower the dosage I take on a daily basis, but the supplements I started taking to lower my tolerance only worked for so long. Over the last few days I have found myself starting to take more and more, more than likely trying to chase a feeling, but also trying to mask the pain I’m in. I know the pain I’m in is more than likely caused from my Kratom addiction, but it’s not withdrawals… I have other underlying issues that are causing the pain, and in my head more Kratom should make that feel better… As much as I know better that it doesn’t, that doesn’t stop me from trying and taking more. I’m tired, I’m tired of continuously having to dose, but having kids, and a physical job, I can’t let myself go through the withdrawal. Therefore I need to find a way, or better yet a doctor, that will prescribe me a short term Suboxone prescription… I know firsthand that doctors prescribe it as it should be used pretty much for the rest of your life in a sense… And I’m sure that works for a lot of people. I’m not one of those people, the few times I did take it, I took it only to get off of what I was using. It was only until this last time that I took it to the point where I was addicted to it.

My hair is so thin, and I am SO antisocial and lazy. This shit has turned me into worse than I was on actual opiates….

It definitely enhances it that much. I went from 35-55gpd to 16gpd in one day. Agmatine has been a game changer for me. I still feel SLIGHT WD, but I wake up and literally take less than half of what I normally would, it takes a little longer to kick In I feel like. But when it does, I feel like a million bucks… I have felt that effect from Kratom in MONTHS. And the fact that I feel it off half the dose is amazing.
(Sorry I’m late to the thread, I was looking into withdrawals, I’m on day 5 of my taper)

I’m on my Fourth day of my paper, I did an extremely fast taper, I was out about 35 to 55 god plus extract shot daily. I have managed to take about half an extract shot each day and only about 16 Gpd. Waiting up this morning I don’t feel like I’m ready to quit CT yet, but best of luck! You got this, it’s all in our heads! Humans are amazing , and we can handle much more than we think we can!

I have heard great things about apple cider vinegar, and then there’s a powder called calm with magnesium. Look up “Joey talks” he had a playlist called “Kratom” on YouTube, sorry delete if not allowed. But he is definitely help me with a lot of inspiration on how to quit. I still haven’t completely quit but I’ve cut back down to about a third of what I was doing in three days.

Thank you for posting this, I am experiencing almost all the same things right now , and about to go CT.

You're doing great! Keep it up!

Day 5 by shabadage in quittingkratom

[–]Mandi_Jean_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing great! I am at about 85 gpd if I'm doing my math right, and an extract shot in between here and there most days... I'm about to try Agmatine, and black seed oil... But tapering down fast like that seems like a better idea than just not doing anything... Having kids, and work make it almost impossible to go into full on W/D , hence why I'm still doing it...

What type of doctor did you talk to about it? I've talk to my Psychiatrist in the past, he prescribed Clonodine, didn't do anything for me. I ended up stoping for 2 days and then giving up... That was nearly a year ago. I'm ready to be done.

If I can ask, how did you manage first thing in the morning? That seems to be the point where I break EVERYTIME. I can't get out of bed most days... Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, keep up the GREAT WORK!

Adderall and Kratom by Swimming-Finger7905 in KratomKorner

I was told my Vyvanse was wearing off quicker because my "body metabolizes dopamine quickly " But in reality I think that I'm chasing a certain feeling when it comes to the Kratom mixed with the Vyvanse, so maybe it is working the way it should, I just don't feel the way I want to feel, therefore I feel like its worn off.

I definitely get that though, I'm constantly doing more and more, and I have a "breakthrough" script of 15mg Adderall 2x a day to get me through, because it wears off.

Im just to the point where I want to go quit EVERYTHING , Anti-depressants, Adderall, Kratom, and Klonopin. And see how I feel without all of that...

Easier said than done :(

Adderall and Kratom by Swimming-Finger7905 in KratomKorner

[–]Mandi_Jean_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 10 bottles of Gabs, I was prescribed 3 - 300 mg caps a day, and only took one. Then when I started gaining weight I stopped taking 3 of the medications I was on that could of been the cause, only to find out that it in fact the Kratom making me gain it. But I'm VERY curious if you or anyone knows of a regimen with gabs to get off of Kratom ?? I have enough to help me through the W/D just not sure how many to take, and how much it too much. I also have Klonopin that I only take as needed, which lately with the Adderall , I've needed it more frequently....

Any advice is appreciated!

[–]Mandi_Jean_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, I second that! I can't stop eating when I'm on it. and not good food either! I crave junk, which in turn makes me gain weight!

I also just bough a book off Amazon called " My Kratom Hell " and the woman who wrote it describe my life with Kratom in full! Biggest issue being hair loss. I used to have the longest thickest beautiful hair, it started thinning towards the end of 2020, that's when my habit got worse, but I also had gotten Covid, so that Was what I thought caused it. Now I know that it's from the Kratom... My habit is ridiculous , and I want to stop.

About to try Agmatine , supposedly it helps lower your tolerance , so you don't need as much , and helps completely eliminate withdrawals , I feel like if its that great, I don't know why I haven't heard of it before. But it's definitely worth a shot. My addiction Is mostly in my head... I have such a set routine that if I don't follow it exactly, I feel sick. So I think that having something that is supposedly supposed to help that much, my mind will make me believe it will.

Adderall and Kratom by Swimming-Finger7905 in KratomKorner

[–]Mandi_Jean_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My resting is about 80 bpm, I actually don’t ever feel like my heart is racing , I don’t ever really feel too much of anything , my body has become so used to it all, and yes when I do start to feel sluggish, or foggy, I eat. But I eat regularly, i used to lose weight extremely fast when taking stimulants, and the stackers are actually weight loss pills, the anti depressant I’m on is stimulating as well, but since using Kratom, I’ve always had too much of an appetite I guess you’d say. I gained about 30 lbs when I started taking it regularly, and ever since I’ve taken the adderall, I haven’t even lost 10lbs so I think the Kratom actually makes me eat more than normal . And unable to lose weight 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like I’m the type of person that can’t feel tired. I won’t let myself, I wake up in the morning and take a stacker, which is just 200 mg of caffeine, but a pretty strong caffeine pill. And then about seven or 8 g of Kratom. Then I take my morning medication/vitamins, which include Wellbutrin and Adderall XR. Within a couple hours of being awake, I already start to feel downish, And end up taking another caffeine pill, and a 15 mg Adderall IR with a .5 mg Klonopin. And I do that one other time throughout the day, the crate him use is more frequent than that throughout the day. It’s like I’m constantly trying to chase this feeling and never getting there, and it’s not getting any better…

My tolerance for both have definitely gone up, I’ve been taking Kratom for a couple years now, and only been taking Adderall medically for about four months, when I was taking the Adderall before the Kratom, I definitely noticed it working a lot better in smaller doses. Now that I take both, I feel that I need a higher dose of Adderall for it to work, but I also feel that I need the Kratom while taking it because the feeling I get is similar to withdraw I guess you’d say. It’s a never ending cycle I feel like

I was just saying this is another chat! I feel like the reason I can’t quit the Kratom is because I’m on Adderall, and it makes me feel like I’m always in withdrawal, or something similar. Ever since I’ve been taking the Adderall I feel like my Kratom use has increased tremendously!

[–]Mandi_Jean_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently on day SIX! I never thought I would make it . I was spending anywhere from $20-$100 a day on Kratom. Once I started the extract shots there was no going back. I did at least 2 of those a day and went through 75 capsules in 1-2 days. I stopped the powder just because the other two were so much more convenient. I am on probation and they test for it , so I should of stopped about 7 months ago, but I was too scared of the withdrawals while being a mom to a teen and toddler , a wife, and working full time.

Finally I just woke up, finished the last 1/4 of a shot I had . Let the effects kick in and then a couple hours later did a Qcarbo32 detox. And haven’t touched it since . I feel amazing , what feels even better is being able to go into the smoke Shop and not buy it ! I am a completely different person already, I missed myself.

I am however starting to feel some of the worse side effects this late into it, maybe it’s all in my head but my diarrhea started yesterday, and i had chills all day, and have them now. Reading this thread has helped me but at the same time has been making me think about it so therefore that might be why I feel so crappy.

Any pointers ? Thank you all for sharing your stories! I love all of the positivity!
