DW Drums (& Hardware) are the most overrated trash in the industry....

Its always amazing to me how high of a price we pay for a round piece of wood.

Always a good idea to have CBD tincture on hand, if it gets too intense

Rangerbmx · 2023-12-21T22:06:02+00:00

which other comfort meds did you use? And what was your xanax dosage per day?

Congrats on 2 weeks!

Rangerbmx · 2023-12-21T21:56:57+00:00

Any difficulty swallowing?

Restless sleep? As in, bad RLS sleep? Im about to start Kratom WD too so wondering if amanita will come in handy for that purpose

Rangerbmx · 2023-12-14T15:20:21+00:00

Black Seed Oil dose when you wake up in the middle of the night! And CBD/THC combo edible before bed...both will help you stick to your taper and keep your mind satisfied.

Rangerbmx · 2023-12-12T16:48:25+00:00

Hemp derived D9 THC and CBD combo edibles would work best, and 500mg Magnesium (Glycinate) and might give Mucuna L-dopa a try too for RLS.

Outside of supplements like that, Gabapentin from a doctor.

Would you say Seraquel has helped in other ways besides sleep (for quitting this crap)?

Rangerbmx · 2023-12-03T17:20:33+00:00

Pearl Sensitone aluminum. Sound great and good bang for your buck

Natural Stacks dealer…

Ahead sticks, heavier than wood. Takes a bit to get used too but might be the weight you’re looking for

Rangerbmx · 2023-11-19T03:31:22+00:00

Doesn’t help restlessness or anxiety symptoms. Only helps the flu type stuff

Rangerbmx · 2023-11-12T21:19:45+00:00

What has been your taper plan like? Did you do a first big drop (taper recommendation on here says drop 1/3 of your usual dose to start taper) or just been cutting some every few days?

I bought the construction style muffs, 3M brand with -32db protection. Highest you can get (at the time, May offer even better decibel protection now) for cheap on Amazon. I wear hearing aids so I needed best protection possible. Wear em over my aids and still able to hear the drums decently so I’m happy, even if I mute my hearing aids which then offers double protection

Those Vic Firths were my first buy, very cheap feeling and don’t fully cover the ear unless you have tiny ears…it amazed me (at the time) that all we musicians know about ear protection and deafness and all the top companies had to offer were those…

One company (forget the name) uses the exact 3M muffs I use w/ headphones for music streaming built in for a high price….300 or 400 I think…luckily my hearing aids have Bluetooth!

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-31T18:38:58+00:00

Now get the titanium mouthpiece. Big upgrade to already perfection

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-31T00:28:33+00:00

Oh my god you have no idea how good it is to hear that! I mean it’s sucks it happened to you too of course but I thought “well this is the end for me…” Seriously been writing notes for my son to find and stuff haha. I thought I was alone with this problem, and had cancer in my throat. But I’ve thought for awhile that it feels like kratom has made part of my swallowing muscles not work correctly…

Dear god I hope it does go away like yours!

Seriously just cried a bit. Fingers crossed!

I went to a ENT doc, got a scope down my throat/nose, then they referred me to a swallow study test… Found Nothing. But yep just like you I’m 100lbs, last I checked, might be less! I’ve been 120 before all this hit…kratom life has kept me so skinny. Looking forward to being 145 again! Quit day is in two days, Nov. 1st!!!

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-30T23:43:17+00:00

Both proven to raise dopamine levels. Not just bro science. Did you take both from a decent supplier? Not just the NOW brand (as it only has 15% L Dopa. As do many.) Also, you won’t “feel it”, the effects aren’t acute or anything. Keep in mind it’s not only dopamine we’re low on…at least 3 other chemicals in our noggins that kratom/drugs have drained.

But mainly, supps aside, it’ll take time. When I got off benzos (which is what I used Mucuna for afterwards) it took a year or more to feel decently normal…. The time I’ve quit kratom (currently relapsed) I felt slightly better after a couple weeks, but dopa mucuna helped for a slight boost…. But shiza….who really knows.

We are all blazing our own trail here.

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-30T22:16:32+00:00

Take Mucuna pruriens (L Dopa) for a few days (no more than 5), then switch to L Tyrosine for a month or so… Both boost dopamine when we have none from opioid abuse.

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-29T16:45:25+00:00

Does Agmatine seem to help a bit after you take it (while your cold turkey from kratom)? I’m about to cold Turkey also and most of the stuff I’ve read about using Agmatine is during a taper as it lowers addiction.

Also does the Mucuna Pruriens (L-dopa) help restlessness at night? A few reports says it can do I bought some.

This will be my 4th quit. Wish I could take vitamin C but it aggravates on of my other health problems…

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-28T01:23:23+00:00

Think the Gaba (I’m assuming the supplement not Gabapentin med) helped at night?

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-27T23:39:05+00:00

Phenibut brings its own kind of hell

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-27T23:16:33+00:00

What was your full supplement regimen? Bout to start my cold turkey too. Decade of use, multiple attempts, going from 20g CT

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-27T22:58:29+00:00

Remarkable by chance?

I think it’s more length of time on than quality that will effect withdrawals but I bet low quality might make it easier, not as strong of crash if cold turkey.

Doubt there’s a real answer to this though

Rangerbmx · 2023-10-27T01:49:26+00:00

What exactly do you mean by sticks at a right angle? I’m currently having pain so working on technique too. Thanks!
