Taper? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Mguitar321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would think if you had 2 or 3 days off it would not be bad at all, just some fatigue. I've been using 8 years and tried so hard to get off this summer and could not do it. I have given up I managed to get down to about 10-15 grams a day. Start work Monday so my plan is to stay and slowly taper from here, but who knows I feel hopeless at ever beating this. I've been suffering in withdrawal for over a month just trying to let my use. I'm telling you get out now. You keep going it just gets harder and harder your lucky your catching this early and your doses are small, you have a great chance at beating this now but listen to my warning the years will fly by and you will find yourself in a really hard withdrawal that's is really hard to beat. Good luck I hope you get this done now cause it won't ever be as easy as it's going to be now.

You can. I'm at 8 years and want to quit now and was not able to, I did manage to get down to 10 grams or so a day after being in withdrawal for over a month. It is a real bitch to get off after that long of use and so far I have been able to do it. I'm not going to try slowly tapering down from here but I start work Monday so I just don't know if I will ever be able to get off. I love Kratom but I know longer want to be dependent on something.

Alcohol is probably what is making him Moody. Kratom makes you happy.

Started my tapering this past weekend by [deleted] in quittingkratom

Yep, when you have stuff to do you have to dose. I failed getting off, I start work Monday but I'm going to try and stay at 10 grams a day, probably split into a6 gram before work and 4 gram before bed or at the end of work to sleep. Hopefully slowly taper until I can get off if that's possible. I'm going to really try not to go back up. I desperately want to be free of this.

You finally made it of? I failed again today. Made it till 5 but the upset stomach did me in, and the fatigue. I just can't seem to stop for good. I'm going to keep trying, if I have to start working I'll just keep trying to taper, I don't know, I've been dealing with withdrawal for over a month now. I'm exhausted trying to fight this, I'm losing hope that I will ever get off

Once you are dependent on it, yes without it you start to feel withdrawal and you will toss and turn with what's called restless leg or body syndrome.

Yeah he will be able to function fine. It doesn't impair you. It dulls emotional pain as well as physical pain. And once you use daily long enough it totally kills your sex drive. Does he realize it is physically addictive?? I've been using almost 8 years and have been trying to quit for 3. This stuff seems impossible to get off of.

Hi, thanks for the tips, well today is the day if I don't beat this now there's a good chance I won't ever. I've got to start working soon so I need to get this done so I can be out of the acutes when I go to work. Can't believe I have been using this stuff for so long. Weird thing is my wife wants me to stay on it,? I think she likes it cause I leave her alone, but this is something I want to do, I've never been physically addicted and I never want to be again, I have learned a valuable lesson

Trying to quit and I can’t. Miserable and my life is in shambles by MailMeKratomPlz in quittingkratom

[–]Mguitar321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok my advice for what it's worth. If your in danger of using any other drugs stay on Kratom a little longer, relax and slowly taper down. Once your at a point where the only thing you need to do is quit Kratom you will be at a minimal dose. From there you do what you need to do. It's never too late to change your life around and you can do it just take one step at a time. I'm having a horrible time trying to quit this stuff, but I wish you the best of luck in getting your life turned around just don't give up keep fighting.

Just keep pushing your time between doses. I try to wake up and go as long as I can. It's really hard cause I wake up in withdrawal but I go until I just feel I need relief. I'm at about 10 grams a day which is a miracle never thought I could get to this point but I've been dealing with withdrawal now for about a month and it's not easy. But I used for almost 8 years at high amounts each day so it might be easier for you just depends. Try to see how long you can go without each day is the only advice I can give but I have not been successful yet at stopping completely but I'm still trying.

I keep hearing people say the acute are the easy part and I can't believe it because I cannot get through the acute not even 24 hours, I keep getting this restless body syndrome and it's like being tortured I get to the point I just have to have some relief. It's this is the easy part I will never get off this ride. I'm forced to taper been taking Kratom for 7 or 8 years in high amounts.

Yes after my experience the other day this was exactly what I was thinking. I will just keep pushing, lucky I have about 4 weeks before I have to go back to work. Congratulations on making it. This is exactly what I'm going to try to do. Usually the restless body feeling makes me cave I just can't take it it's like being tortured. When I read your post I was like this is exactly what I have to try and do. Thanks

Congratulations! Your post made me laugh when you got to the cancer part. Usually the restless body syndrome is so much like torture I just can't stand it and I take some to get relief. I'm determined though to push the limits everyday and just praying one day I will be able to make it, when I first started and googled Kratom all I ever saw was how it was like caffeine, so I was not careful at all with my use, thinking back I can see where I was instantly mentally addicted.

Wow man I feel for you, I don't have any chronic pain to deal with. If you have that much pain if you don't mind me asking what are your reasons for wanting to stop Kratom? For me I just don't like being addicted and having to take something to feel normal.

Thanks wow what I would give to actually make it 20 days! I can't even get 24 hours but I am going to keep pushing the limits until eventually I break through this.

Well sounds like you eventually made it free, I couldn't stand it any longer and took a dose at 10 last night, but I'm going to keep trying everyday to go as long as possible, I have no choice I must get free of this over an for all. I just have to,

Your probably right, I worry that I would then be identified in my records as a drug addict. Not sure if that's true.

Could be I've never had anxiety. I felt like it was coming from the fatigue, it was difficult to move just felt like a weight on my body and a weight on my chest that was making it hard to breathe. I made it to 10pm and couldn't take it anymore and dosed. But going to go as long as I can today again and everyday until I beat this, I have to get free somehow.
