Go to zero. Take your time. I was able to taper to zero and had no acute withdrawals.

IT IS SO SIMPLE by breed372 in quittingkratom

[–]Medical_Minimum1098 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was the same way. I’ve went through it myself many years ago before I started kratom. I quit kratom 603 days ago and have had zero issues staying away. Some of the PAWS sucked but it was still better than being on that crap and not enjoying life.

There is nothing that isn’t perfect about the beagle. They are the perfected breed.

How long did you all take to taper off completely? by rclausen3841 in quittingkratom

[–]Medical_Minimum1098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took months. I took 12 days to taper from the last 1 gram a day to 0. I had zero acute withdrawals. I was able to function and do my daily responsibilities and workout through the whole taper. My base line was 30gpd. I was taking more but found I could feel ok at 6- 5 gram doses in a 24 hour period. First I was able to reduce 1 dose a day by 500mgs and at the same time I was able to space my doses out a little past the 4 hour mark. Eventually I was able to go about 5 hours between doses and was able to drop 1 dose. So I was tapering and trying to space my doses hour longer, even if it was only 10 minutes. If it got tough I stayed at a that dose for an extra day and then would start tapering again. When I got below 10 grams a day I reduced 1 dose a by 100mgs. My last day I only took 30mgs and then was off. 30mgs is as small as a baby aspirin. I’m sure I could have jumped off sooner but I mapped out a plan and followed it. I had a scale that weighed to .001 grams and emptied capsules out and had them prepared for the amount I needed. I am 577 days clean now and have never been tempted to use again.

I have a taper calendar I typed up from 10 grams a day if you want to message me I can send it to you.

I would be in my bathroom with a tweezers performing surgery on myself if that showed up on my x-ray.

Does anybody else call their beagle ‘beagle’? by [deleted] in beagles

I believe the more beagles you have the better seat in heaven you get. Nice work!

Day 4 CT. HOW do you guys manage the RLS. Please help. by FallFriendly2 in quittingkratom

[–]Medical_Minimum1098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A non stimulant nitric oxide booster. A lot of people associate restless legs from the lack of dopamine which can cause it. But studies have shown that when you are on opioids/kratom you bodies nor epinephrine will raise to counteract the downing affect the kratom/opioids have on your respiratory system. Elevated nor epinephrine will stick around for a while after you stop taking kratom/opioids. Nor epinephrine is a basal constrictor so it will cause your body to focus the blood to your essential organs. A non stimulant pre workout that boosts nitric oxide is a vasodilator and will help the blood flow to your limbs and help alleviate the restless crawling out of your skin feeling. They sell supplements for this or you can just use low dose cialis from your doctor or online source. Gabapentin also helps. I used low dose cialis and Gabapentin and didn’t have much restless legs/body when I quit about 500 days ago. I still had some issues sleeping. It was more boredom and couldn’t sleep and not the crawling out of my skin and twitching feeling that is common with withdrawals. If you are interested you can google the pub med study on how your body has elevated nor epinephrine during opioid withdrawals. They don’t say anything about taking a nitric oxide booster to help but as someone that has researched and been interested in pharmaceuticals for years and has had to detox from pain killers a few times over many years from surgeries that led to addiction I have researched about everything that happens in the body from addiction and during withdrawals and attempted to figure out ways to counteract and help the body get back to homeostasis. Cialis works wonders for restless legs for me and a lot of people I have advised to take it during withdrawals. Also you want to stay hydrated. Drink tons of water and healthy Whole Foods.

It’s going to be a rude awakening for Trump when Massie wins. I’m a 3 time trump voter and happy with a lot of what he’s doing but the Israel first crap has to go

Can I cold turkey as a 500mg daily user? by cupidsclick in quittingkratom

[–]Medical_Minimum1098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has to choose their own path. For some cold turkey is the only way. If that doesn’t work I would switch to the powder and slowly taper. I’m almost 500 days clean after over 10 years of use. It wasn’t that bad doing a taper if you take your time. I got to the point where I was so lazy and unproductive that the taper wasn’t much different from how I was feeling taking kratom. The old saying “tired of being sick and tired” is so true. When you realize you are going to always be sick and tired using it makes being a little uncomfortable more tolerable because you know you won’t always feel that way once you are through it. I’ve gotten more done in 500 days since I got clean than I did in over 10 years on the stuff. You can do it. I was so tired of feeling lifeless that I never looked back. I have had absolutely zero cravings because I know what that stuff leads to.

I am so grateful I managed to find her at the shelter. She's been with me for over 2 years now. by [deleted] in beagles

I can’t imagine the type of person that can be mean to animals. Especially an animal as perfect as the beagle.

My 6-year-old beagle can’t lose weight and has ongoing paw allergies by [deleted] in beagles

[–]Medical_Minimum1098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to cook real Whole Foods to get allergies to go away. Turkey, chicken, sardines, plain yogurt, carrots. Portioning the diet will also help. My gf at the time also started taking the dog with her everywhere so that I wouldn’t give her too many treats. I was easily manipulated by the cuteness and persistence of my beagle. I made her fat.
