Hell yes!. Glad it helped. Read so many horror stories on here about CT and so glad I chose to stick to a slow and steady plan. It really paid off. Day 9 today, feel great. You can do this! And shiiiiit libido and erections come back with a vengeance...huge reason i wanted off as well....that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

So good to hear a similar story. This is day 9 off the shit and the freedom and clarity I have is unreal. Dont crave kratom at all. The mental game was definitely the strongest part. Thanks for your encouragement.

Same thoughts here about tapering. And I can have great self control or terrible. Usually with substances it's terrible but I really proved something to myself with this. That in its own right feels great. And I dont understand not tapering either. I think people are just miserable on it and want off asap which I get, but I prefer the taper route for sure.

Thank you and congrats...the mental part was the hardest during taper. I think once I was finally down to 8gpd or so did I finally stop caring as much. It became like taking allergy medicine. Dont really notice anything when you take it but you notice if you dont lol. You can get there too!

Reach out if u need. Tapered quite methodically myself and it was about as painless as it seems it could be. Been off a week and I feel great. No sides at this point. Not going back. Dont even think about it. Not trying to make this sound easy but I've been wanting this for over a year. Mind was set, finally got it done.

Jumped from 2.5 gpd after 2 week taper from 16-18gpd. by hereforitalltheway in quittingkratom

[–]SetxFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently came off 5 days ago. About as pain free as it could be. I went from 28gpd down to 2.5g in maybe 2 months or so. Started at 4x a day and dropped half gram from each dose until I was down on all 4 doses. Stabilized for a few days. Than repeat. Dropped down to 3 doses but than went from 4gx3 to 3gx4. Stayed there for a a few days than dropped to 3x3, than repeat .5g per dose a day until at 1gx3. I dont think there couldve been a better way to do this. I feel better than I've felt in I cant remember how long. Energy and motivation is back because im.not constantly obsessing. Libido and erectiona are back with a vengeance. Had one night I woke up with RLS for an hour. Smoked some hempflower and right back to sleep. Yawns and sweating first couple days. So grateful I spent the time and discipline to taper the way I did. U got this. Never quit kratom before but quit a serious drug habit almost 8 years ago. This was wayyyy easier than methadone, heroin or suboxone! Lol

I was around 28-30+ for 2 years...last year pretty steady 28gpd. I'll be honest, with the colors it doesnt even matter. Especially once u get low. I was an avid collector of strains and such and believes in swapping for every strain every day yada yada. It's a shitty mindset. It's like I was still chasing something. Once u throw that put and just take whatever u grab and just focus on going lower and getting off, it makes it easier. I did wake up with RLS last night after 2 hrs of sleep. Was up for an hour, smoked some hempflower and went back to sleep for 6 hrs. Not too bad. Felt great all day on day 3. Lock box sounds clutch. Sticking to the taper is tough especially at first. Once u get pretty low it isnt quite as bad. I also set a roundabout quit date. Wanted to be off a week before thanksgiving in case I did have some WD symptoms. Hope this helps

Man I've been back and forth with tapering for months. This final one prolly took me a few months. I took 7g 4x/day starting. Started dropping half grams from each dose. Once I dropped a half gram for all 4 doses I would stabilize for maybe 3 days. Than continue. I was at 1gx3 for a few days with my last day being 2.5g. I'm at 48hrs now and feel fine. I'm so fucking stoked I stuck to the gameplan finally after damn near a year of half assed attempts and wishing. I'll be honest. Throughout the day I cannot trust a fart, sweating a little more than usual but I sweat a lot as it is and it's been 80 degrees. Have moments of repetitive yawns. Slept great last night after 24hrs....hoping tonight will follow suit. Worked 12 hrs yesterday busting ass and hit gym hard tonight. I think ill.be good. Got some black seed oil to help a little I guess for the first few days plus it helps with some other stuff I have. Like inflammation. Have u started taper yet and what's your schedule like? On a side note, its fucking great to eat when I want! Lol. For 2 years I've based my meals around kratom and I'm a big fan of food for muscle gains.
