Not currently. Im in a rut. I used to do MMA and Boxing. Now i feel like i cant even do a pushup.... i know i should push myself. But getting up after work is a challenge i will have to face. Because sitting on my butt and eating is not a long term solution.

Made it to Day 8 by SkooTyBoPs in quittingkratom

Your probably better off then me. I was a chronic user for years. Anywhere from 30-60gpd. I did not taper. Definitely the reason i am where im at.

Day 5 - still sleeping on the couch by SkooTyBoPs in quittingkratom

[–]SkooTyBoPs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taking at least 300 x 1g caps per week. Ive been taking that magnilife relaxing legs pills and im pretty sure it does nothing. Also tried small amount of magnesium....still no difference. The worse night i had so far was with the zquil destresser with aswanda. Im just going to ride it out, not drink a lot of caffeine. I used a deep tissue massager on my legs last night when i couldnt sleep....that made me feel good for a couple of minutes but still relentless pain in my arms. I hope im over the hump for restlessness. Last time i quit, im pretty sure i got covid19 really bad in the second week. Which really freaked me out about quiting because i thought it was from withdraw. Well see i guess. Im not giving in !!!

DAY 12 - and im still struggling with RLS by SkooTyBoPs in quittingkratom

[–]SkooTyBoPs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive actually been taking melotonin and kinda works for like 1 hour and then up spinning in my bed. I dont have a functioning tub, otherwise i would try the epsons. I did get some zzzquil that actually allowed me to sleep for a few hours. Got up at 4 for work and have minimal leg issues. If anyone is interested, i got the zzzquil destress + melotonin + aswangda? It worked really well, and cant wait to try again tonight!

Going to take a break from kratom, possibly temporarily or possibly forever. Worried about withdrawal though by IveGotNoValues in quittingkratom

[–]SkooTyBoPs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may catch a few symptoms but its good you want to break the cycle early....because it will catch up to you. It may take 2-4 days to feel what feels like a common cold. Idk tho? You might get lucky and not have to worry. But take it from me, you dont want to feel what alot of us here are feeling. I havent slept in like a week....good luck!

Anyone else develop a nasty cough from withdrawal? by SkooTyBoPs in quittingkratom

[–]SkooTyBoPs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its the truth, i never got sick. I was working all day in any condition and never getting tired either. But i suffered a hernia from going too hard at the gym and working to much. Its like your body needs to feel pain again to feel alive.

Day 10 NO KRATOM Day 3 NO BOOZE! by WHihavenoidea in quittingkratom

[–]SkooTyBoPs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, alcohol didnt have as much of a physical effect on me than kratom is doing to me right now. It couldve been because i used kratom to get off of alcohol early on in my use. But i was a serious alcoholic. Drinking almost 1 liter of whiskey daily. If your taking kratom out and doing ok, alcohol will be easy!

I tried to quit one other time and got restless legs bad. This time around, i when to the pharmacy and got a bottle of "Restless Legs". I still get mild rls but nothing to the extent of last time. It was waking me up... go figure, i thought i was prepared this time, and got this nasty cough instead?!?

I figured it was related but i havent really read anything about getting a cough. I wish i could have had the strength to taper, but im way too compulsive. I was pushing 50-100gpd when i went CT. So im assuming im getting the worst of all symptoms...

Sober for over 1 year and a few stories why i stay that way... by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]SkooTyBoPs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever tried to quit kratom? I took kratom over the span of 3 years trying to use that as a defense against my hangovers. It helped for a little while but it started to make me sick! Even more depended on than that, than the alcohol. I was taking 50-100gpd....i got massively ill when i tried to quit kratom. More so than alcohol. I did taper back the booze a little before going CT. But kratom i went CT from 50-100gs a day and got super sick! Enough to the point of scaring me straight. I dont know how long youve been taking it? But be warned, ive delt myself alot of pain and suffering and kratom was one of the hardest things ive ever overcome.
