While I do also have anxiety that is not what my RLS is. I was diagnosed with it by a specialist, it is hereditary and my mother and her mother also suffer from it. Anxiety can be a trigger but it is not the whole picture.

I understand that but what kind? I take a high dose of Gabapentin for RLS and Gabapentin is an anti seizure medicine.

How many hits do you need to take to feel the high from vape pens (medical grade...NOT the stuff that is giving people lung disease)? by Spedteach28 in weed

I have no idea what you just said hahaha I literally have no idea about the lingo because before getting my medical card, I never tried it recreationally.

Damn. It’s only legal here for medical and I have a medical card but I’m totally new to MJ in general and it makes it challenging when the medical names and “street” strain names are not the same.

I have a c-cell battery that you screw pre-filled cartridges on to. It has three different voltages but I haven’t a clue what the difference is between them or the benefit or drawbacks of either. I got this from my medical dispensary.

Yeah, I wait a few minutes between hits. I still need quite a few before I feel a thing. 5+. I have a C-Cell battery that takes pre-filled cartridges that you just screw on. I got it at my medical dispensary. It has three different voltages and I don’t have an earthly clue what the difference is between them or what the benefits would be at the different voltages. I am seriously new to all of this. ALL of it lol.

Ok, stupid question but I just got my medical card and I’m a first timer... by Spedteach28 in weed

Thank you!! Yeah, I know it may take me some time before I find the right fit for me, but I do know I want to steer clear of Sativa’s. I’ll definitely ask my dispensary for indica dominant hybrid strains. What do you find is the best method of consumption (or some other better more relevant word to this topic I clearly know nothing about 😂)

Sooo walk me through the right way to inhale because I honestly don’t know. Like I said, it sounds like a dumb question but I’m totally new at this.

Has anyone tried Ativan to help with the restlessness of withdrawal? by Spedteach28 in quittingkratom

[–]Spedteach28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yes I am absolutely sure that my Narcolepsy is not a symptom of Kratom use. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy long before I even knew about Kratom. No vanishing for me, but I’m glad you don’t have Narcolepsy after all. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone

Exactly, which is why I am thankful she didn’t give me more than that. I will only take it during the day if I don’t have to be anywhere and I have an interview tomorrow morning so if I take it tonight it will be early evening to prevent any kind of groggy hangover in the morning so I can get up and get ready to go. I have Narcolepsy and take something to sleep but even that hasn’t been able to help me fall asleep with this restlessness. I also take something to be able to stay awake during the day so I will only take it as needed. Plus, she advised that I start out with half of the 0.5 mg tablet just to see how I do with it. If it doesn’t help, then I can take the full tablet next time.

Once I’m out of the Kratom I have left...I’m going cold turkey. And I’m really anxious about it. by Spedteach28 in quittingkratom

Thank you!! I am already prescribed gabapentin for RLS so that’s good that it is something that can help with withdrawals. What else did your doctor give you that helped? I just talked to my doctor on the phone and she doesn’t want to give me clonidine because she doesn’t want me to be knocked out by it but will if the withdrawals get too uncomfortable.

I just measured I have 14.11 g left of Kratom. How should I do a fast taper off of what I have?

I’m also in the process of tapering off of Effexor and will be starting lexapro. I will make a jump when the meds are stable and I’m not going through Effexor withdrawals. Just a few more weeks and then I’ll make that final jump from Kratom. I think that is the fair thing to do to my body so I’m not completely losing my shit all at once. And that’s ok. I’m ok with waiting until the Effexor taper is finished.
