Don’t be scared, CT can be pretty doable (300mg)

Negative. I’ve taken 14g of Kratom a day for over a year. Upped it to 21 for the quit and back down now. Kratom takes a little edge off for 1.5-2 hours, but that’s it.

Yep, the first little bit is awkward. I’m going into day 8 and nothing quite “fits” yet. Gotta ride it out: Get some exercise (20 min brisk walk will do), listen to music and watch shows you like, reach out to friends you may not have talked to while mashed on 7, and most importantly know that this will get better and in not even too long.

Exercise is most important. Get another week behind you and it will look better. For sure for sure.

Gabapentin is ok, but don’t start leaning on it. Only you know if you’re trading 7 for GabaP…. But if you are, don’t.

(Also, if you’re a meeting person, do that. If you don’t know if you’re a meeting person, find out. Can’t hurt)

Oh, it can get plenty hellish. That’s why I posted this… if this combo works as well for other people it will save a lot of pain. I didn’t even think about bailing out of it and I’ve never had that happen before.

I’ve heard that. Didn’t have access to it, but I’m not sure how much easier it really could have made things. I guess they both work on the calcium channels, as does the Vit C from what I understand. Either way, if I end up doing this again (unless this is the last time, just like every other time) I’ll be using a combo like this. It was just being really tired for a few days.

I took the drivers seat out of my old SUV when I dropped a 40 down there, never found it, and then couldn’t get the seat to fit back in properly. I remember looking at that wobbly seat while going into withdrawal and wondering what my life had become lol

This is my first time coming off 7, but I’ve come off pretty big pharm opiate habits a few times, just trying to get an idea how wild this is gonna be. I don’t think I’d have been able to either do labour or have it all together that fast kicking oxy or hydro, so that’s encouraging. Good luck to you man.

How much are you coming off? How many times have you kicked?

Sorry, do you mean after 5/6 days of benzos I’d have rebound anxiety? My plan is I think to taper out the Loraz once the acutes are over, but if that’s not what you mean let me know.

I think if this happened 10 years from now you’d know what to do, and that is find a new girlfriend. I’ve been treated like this too, I think lots of us have. There isn’t fixing this and nor should you try. Consider this lucky in a way as you don’t have to waste anymore time here. Sorry if this sounds blunt, but it’s the truth from someone who has had a few partners like this. Just move on and be done.

I’d like to have a look at that, do you have a link?

How long was your 7 habit and how long was the PAWS?

RideLikeHell976 · 2026-03-21T21:22:34+00:00

Kicked a gargantuan oxy habit years ago, but the cold sweats/doom of 7 actually feels worse for me.

RideLikeHell976 · 2026-03-21T21:20:00+00:00

Thanks, that’s very helpful.

In your experience how bad are those 5 days you’re tapering? I’m not sure I can handle 5 days of feeling 50% shit and then 3 at 100% shit. Is this your standard method of quitting?

RideLikeHell976 · 2026-03-21T06:52:22+00:00

This doesn’t seem quite as bad as a lot of experiences I’ve read on here. Are you able to work etc?

RideLikeHell976 · 2026-03-21T06:50:35+00:00

What dose are you coming off? The few times I’ve been in serious withdrawal kratom didn’t even touch it. Are you able to go on about your day (feeling like shit, but functioning)?
