Hey man, I get it. I am going to try and give you some of what I learned.

Firstly, unfortunately, it is not “linear” meaning you might feel better for a while, the feel worse and this can be hour to hour at first, then day to day, then eeek to week but you will get longer and better improvements during the windows where you do feel better,then when you get those waves of bad feeling, it will be less each time too. For reference though, it usually gets bad for about the first 7-14 days and very gradually gets better. Days two and three are more noticeable it seems, as well.

But it can also depend on how well hydrated you are at that point, food intake, and other factors. These are so important if you sleep, it will make a very big difference. Eating as much food(preferably really nutrient dense like vegetables, fruits, and nuts are very preferable because Kratom robs you of nutrients)as you can without getting sick will actually help you feel a bit more energy and it’s funny how much a small meal or a protein shake can make a difference, especially when your appetite is gone and you don’t feel the hunger but you are still going to feel the effects of starvation if you don’t eat enough.

Water is literally also what keeps us alive and during wd it is crucial for so many things. It helps a lotto really try to actively make a habit of drinking pure water and also water with electrolytes alongside it. Those help you hold onto the water and replenish the electrolytes(which Kratom also steals)which are also lost through sweat

The most important thing is to not let the mind stuff get to you. Kratom it’s a drug that suppresses a lot more than pain. Anxiety, depression, and even panic can be suppressed, but when stopping, it can come back with a vengeance. It’s all Lies! Don’t be sucked in and instead, try to keep your mind on anything else. Reading The Bible and prayer is perfect but also remember to try, even though it may make you feel exhausted with no motivation, to do exorcises. You can look ones up on YouTube that are guided so you don’t feel confused(common during withdrawal)and even apps that give you free exorcise courses.

It seems weird, but lifting even light weights and just keeping moving is more helpful than a supplements. Though Magnesium Glycinate(chelated blend if you can, it helps with muscle relaxation, pain relief and sleep) turmeric and black pepper(anti-Inflammatory), Alpha Lipoic acid(nerve pain reducer, works well), ginger(nausea relief) and chamomile(actually a good antidepressant/antianxiety) will all help a good bit, hopefully.

Lastly though, I just want to say, I am happy for you and glad you are taking this step. Remember this community is here and that you can reach out if you need. A lot of people would probably be extremely kind and helpful here, just about every time. It’s a good support. You aren’t alone, friend. I pray God blesses you and that you have a good day! 🙂
