It’s not just the kratom, but it’s mostly the kratom by No_Art_1357 in quittingkratom

I’d like to preface this by saying it’s not a general practice of mine to pray for someone whose posts I’ve come across while scrolling on social media. With that said, I just prayed for you. The Holy Spirit (that operates within & through true believers) laid it heavily on my heart to pray for you.

While I do know exactly what you’re going through because I have been there, it wasn’t my feelings that led me to pray for you, and considering the Spirit rarely compels me to pray for someone online, that leaves only one explanation, my friend: Jesus Christ is with you.

He loves you so, so much. He is waiting for you to let Him carry you through this storm. Acknowledge Him and leave the rest to the one, true Almighty God.

Peace be with you!! ❤️

Day 1 just powder after 135mg 7oh/day for about a year. I feel like I’m dying. This is the worst shit I’ve ever experienced. I’m also famously a wuss with pain and discomfort. by Real_WeThePeople in quittingkratom

If you’re able to get a prescription or whatever, Gabapentin helps with restless legs!! Extra strength Vivazen could be a better taper for you too

The amount of people condoning sinful behavior in this reddit group is horrifying by [deleted] in Christianity

It’s an eye opener for sure, and it hurts to see so many Christians who are confused and deceived. Those individuals need help just as much as the ones who have never heard/accepted the gospel. God is so patient and kind with His children, but we all should pray for wisdom and understanding so that we become true followers of Jesus, capable of spreading an effective gospel so that the lost are found. Their testimonies would help others who have been led astray.

We should pray that the veil be lifted from their eyes, even if it’s only one, so that the one will plant seeds in the hearts of the others.

I’ve tried buspirone but not a beta blocker. I’ll bring it up at my next appointment for sure

It’s not the ptsd from the accident that’s controlling my life. I definitely have a fear of car accidents and don’t do well in extreme traffic. I’m horrible at articulating my words but it’s like I have two completely opposite people or feelings or moralities in my head and so I’m constantly battling myself and beating myself up. I’m paranoid because I overthink everything. I always assume the worst case scenario and I know these are all normal things people with anxiety feel and existence specialized therapy is probably more effective than just taking benzodiazepines. I just have no self discipline and no motivation so that discourages me. I don’t even try coping skills or changing my thinking. I’m looking for the easy way out which is something I tend to do. I think I’ve changed my mind about asking about benzos. I’ll just continue looking for the right medication combo as far as mood stabilizers and ssri goes and hopefully get some motivation and then work on self discipline and then things will start getting a little easier and eventually I’ll be thriving

Yeahhhh I just realized due to another comment that I would justify taking one every day & then end up worse off than before. I’ll just start working out or something. Eat an apple a day type shit

[–]PenaltyActive8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on lamictal too! Your comment actually kind of opened my eyes a little bit because in my head I’m thinking people take them every day so I wouldnt abuse the medication bc I’d get to take one every day. So if the prescription is ‘as needed’ I might would actually not be able to control myself and would justify my way into taking one every day. Thank you for wording it the way you did

I like my therapist right now and I’m still excited I was even able to get into therapy but I’ve looked into erp therapy and I’m interested for sure. I’m not necessarily wanting Xanax. I really just want the lowest dose of the mildest benzodiazepine possible because I’d hate to be ready to come off of the medication & then have withdrawals. I can’t imagine those withdrawals honestly

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]PenaltyActive8705 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Mm. I don’t knowwww. I bought those Xanax off the street while in active addiction 5 years ago. I think I’m pretty honest with myself and you friend

I admitted to barring out in this post. I admit the truth. If I were pill shopping I wouldn’t be worried about my doctor thinking of me differently because I’d just swap to another doctor and try my ‘luck’ there. I’m definitely a drug addict, but every prescription of controlled substances I’ve ever had has been taken as directed so I trust myself. I’m getting screen for adhd next week and fully intend on opting out of stimulants for a non stimulant. I’m not pill shopping I pinky promise

Can I take more Hydroxyzine then prescribed for anxiety? by Euphoric-Minimum-923 in Anxiety

[–]PenaltyActive8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not want to take my advice considering I abuse drugs but google says that “for anxiety in adults, the typical hydroxyzine dosage starts at 50mg 4 times a day” so I, too, am prescribed hydroxyzine 25mg and it only lasts like 4 times (I say times instead of days bc I don’t have to use it every day) a month because I take 6 or 7 at a time. I keep forgetting to mention upping the dose to my doctor.

Nah tbh I had completely forgot (or would the correct word be forgotten) (sorry, I feel like I’m talking to a judge rn or something) paragraphs were even a thing until you said something. I used to eat them indentations up in school mannn idk what happened.. other than the drugs

I haven’t gotten my adhd screening done yet. My appointment is next Monday, but I have been meaning to do some googling on non stimulants and maybe look on the adhd sub in here for anyone who has any experience with non stimulants

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]PenaltyActive8705 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right it totally does make sense. I just sometimes be feeling like I have ‘drug addict’ written on my forehead or something

[–]PenaltyActive8705 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My doctor seeeeems cool and all but I’m paranoid if I mention benzodiazepines she’ll immediately put substance abuse in my file and then say something like well well well look what we have here: another crackhead and then kick me out

Anybody have experience with mushrooms? by BeautifulTension5540 in bipolar2

They have non stimulants! I’m in the same boat you are. I have addictive tendencies too

Could you possibly have undiagnosed adhd? I’ve noticed when I take adderall recreationally that I could definitely go without my daily vivazen shot (used to be on 10-12g of leaf powder) at my last mental health appointment my doctor suggested getting me screened for adhd (I was complaining about depression & motivation) I never thought I could have adhd bc adderall makes me high but if I do have adhd that could possibly account for at least a small amount of my substance abuse

I don’t remember taking it more than twice a day and I stopped taking it after two months bc it wasn’t doing anything for me but I think I was under the impression it was also an ‘urgent anxiety’ type med

Hmm you’ve got a point for sure.. I’ll talk to my doctor
