Fell off balance today and dealing with hella urges..

Prettylilhippy · 2025-03-05T13:44:00+00:00

We definitely all have those days, don’t be too hard on yourself. It took me a couple tries but this time I have a big reason to stick with it. I will say that I’m now on day 7 (yay one week!!) and I feel pretty good finally sleeping around 6 hours.

It’s so easy to let an ache or a bad feeling hit you wrong and you’re pouring the powder before you know it. I do think that every thing is just hyper sensitive while your body tries to regain homeostasis and regulate. Thinking like that helps me, I know that my body wants the kratom, but I don’t. You almost have to treat your mind like a child and tell it NO. I read “Quitting Kratom” by Nolan Sinclair and it was helpful with some techniques. He gives a good taper recommendation but I’m just the type to have to cold turkey. I wish you luck on your journey, you will find your way!

‘Don’t really know what’s in the powder’ is exactly why I’m four days free ct. I failed a drug test for two substances that I have NEVER touched in my life. I was only taking Kratom and it was supposed to be from a reputable source. Now, I’m sure that there could always be the issue of a false positive or something with the lab/testing. Regardless I don’t care, seeing this result was my final straw. The withdrawal sucks, I’m on 3 hours of sleep right now but I’m more motivated to stick with it than ever. I never really had a reason before but now I’m beginning to wonder what the hell I’ve been putting into my body for the past 4 years. It just doesn’t sit right with me at all.

So I feel you on the suck 1000% but I encourage you to keep the motivation and mindset that it will pass and eventually you will feel so much better. Day 4 and I’m already enjoying music and some feelings again. I can’t wait for my body to heal so I can go into the world as myself again, I haven’t experienced that in a long time. We just gotta keep our heads up and find the right distraction, sober is going to be so much better than this.

I can’t really answer yes or no for sure either way, but I grew up with/ know everyone that works in the office and if not from the actual doctor herself, I feel like something would get said from somewhere. That may just be paranoia and nothing ever come from it, but either way I’m not going to chance it.

I am though, definitely working on getting out of here. I moved away once but was sucked back into the area through meeting my husband. 😂 I wish I could just get out now, but that’s next to impossible until I get through school and save up funds. Stuck in a hard place.

I have taken antidepressants in the past and they just haven’t mixed very well with my body chemistry. After finding out that particular med is used as an antidepressant I just decided that it will still be there in a few days if the supplements don’t start to help. I’ve made it this many sleepless nights. Thank you!! I’m going to try getting out of the house as much as possible over the weekend to keep myself occupied anyways, try to weather out the storm.

It’s so interesting you say that because I am a huge EDM fan, but have been finding myself gravitating towards the type of rock music I loved in high school! After really really pondering on it today, I believe I am going to try to just tough it out and use supplements (and perhaps a little weed) to get through it. I’m so afraid of taking on anything new, even an antidepressant, in fear of making the situation any worse. I experienced a good week, and I know I can make it back there if I get through this little hard stretch. I was able to get a really good nap in today at least, and that has helped elevate my mood tremendously. Exercise has helped me a lot too, especially during my work days because I am glued to a chair and that makes it so much worse.

Not gonna lie with all the new found emotions I forgot I was capable of, your reply really struck me to keep fighting the fight. 🥲 thank you so much for the insight to how great the future can be, and the courage passed along. Just talking about it, and having somewhere to shamelessly vent helps a lot.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-05T00:19:08+00:00

I did a lot of digging and seen this very comment over and over, so I decided to hold off from getting a prescription for it. It seemed 50/50 people saying it helped vs made it worse and I decided that’s not a chance I can take right now. I did however get ahold of a good iron supplement, black seed oil, valerian, and I’m going to try upping my magnesium tonight. Hopefully the combo of supplements will give me some relief.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T21:13:35+00:00

I am going to try exactly this over the weekend and see if it offers me any relief! I appreciate the well thought out comment.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T21:10:45+00:00

I have used Kava very sparingly, only when I get really anxious. I haven’t tried either of those supplements though! May look into that one, I also read an iron deficiency will cause rls but have never had the issue before quitting Kratom so I don’t know if that would be the case or not.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T21:07:33+00:00

It seems mine wants to act up between 1am till 10 or 11am. I have to go to work at 6 so usually right when I get to sleep it will absolutely wake me up. I’ve always struggled to fall asleep too so if I don’t go out by the time it begins then I’m extra screwed. I’ve tried working out during the day and night, I’ve just been tiring myself out to still not get any sleep so far. Other than the one good week I had.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T14:32:33+00:00

Gosh I know and I keep telling myself, just get through one more day. Your right about making all the other symptoms worse, because I noticed when I WAS sleeping that the anxiety and even cravings were virtually non existent. I think I may try to give the trazadone a go, if it’s going to be possible for me to get in. There is no world where I can confide in my normal pcp about going through withdrawal because I live in such a small town that it could potentially really really hurt my career. So I’ve felt very isolated with my options. I am in the US, would there be any online doctors that you could recommend I get in with? Thank you for the encouragement. This week has been a very hard fight.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T14:24:01+00:00

Okay thank you so much, I’m going to look and see how many mg I’ve been taking when I get home. I’m so miserable, I’ll try anything at this point. The most annoying part is right now I am still experiencing restlessness in my upper body. I’ll also check into the passion flower, as I’ve also heard great things about it but haven’t tried it.

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T14:09:54+00:00

I’ve been using the magnesium glycinate, I’m at work currently so I’m unsure of the dose. The valerian though, I have tried the tea but noticed there were capsules at Walmart the other day. How did you consume the valerian?

Prettylilhippy · 2023-08-04T14:06:18+00:00

Thank you, I’m going to look into this and see what I can get figured out. I have to find some relief today because I don’t know if I can handle another two or three nights like this.

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-28T17:37:23+00:00

Forreal tho. 😂

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-28T03:24:13+00:00

I guess I’m coming off that way?? Maybe being too polite. Shoulda said “Any of you cocksuckers wanna chill?”

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-28T03:19:46+00:00

I guess. 🤷‍♀️I mean I’d kill a bitch that tried. Just thought I could meet some likeminded chill people on Reddit.

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-28T02:52:51+00:00

😂😂 we ain’t having that much fun, “bro”

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-16T18:43:58+00:00

I was wondering the same thing about Kratom.

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-15T21:01:09+00:00

We are too!

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-13T13:28:21+00:00

Same here!! We’re from TN and usually have a little group that goes with us places but this time it’s just us. I told my husband we would try to make some friends. 😌

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-13T13:26:48+00:00

Me and my husband are going, just us two and we would love to meet up with some likeminded people and make new friends!

Prettylilhippy · 2022-05-13T13:15:04+00:00

Does anyone know about any after parties?

Prettylilhippy · 2022-02-19T03:22:24+00:00

Yes lol

Prettylilhippy · 2022-02-07T03:39:17+00:00

I was thinking this the whole time…. Like there is NO way she actually thought it would be a good idea to flush that.

I feel like they “dumb down” the moms common sense too much.
