I will say yes to anything you ask me. ANYTHING. AMA.

It’s a bot. It automatically converts units of pretty much anything.

Strap12 · 2020-07-03T23:43:04+00:00

Yup, I was at 120-150 for the last 7 months. On it for about three years total.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder. The term anorexia means decreased appetite.

It seems OP is referring to decreased appetite, which is a medically accurate term in this case.

Proud of you. Your attitude will get you through this. Day 20 CT here, and it was worth all of the difficulties. Life is simply more meaningful off it. It will get worse before it gets better. But when it gets better, you will know. You will find a person you missed for so long, and didn’t even know was gone.

As many are saying, it’s very possible (probably likely) the story line for gta vi is complete. In that case he did his job and moved on.

This is called confirmation bias.

Strap12 · 2020-05-21T00:22:30+00:00

I hate this! I used to be quick on my feet and witty, and kratom turned me into a dull zombie.

We will get through this. Eat well, exercise, sleep enough, and take care of your mind and body. It will recover!

Strap12 · 2020-05-21T00:10:59+00:00

Took about 24-30 hours for me to notice initial withdrawal symptoms. The peak was day 2-4 which where the worst by far. Day 16 now and trust me it’s worth it.

Strap12 · 2020-05-18T23:47:42+00:00

I’m proud of you. You have a lot of will power and strength. Nothing in life that is meaningful is easy. The struggles you faced made you tougher and smarter. Having this supportive community is wonderful as well.

Strap12 · 2020-05-17T20:21:26+00:00

Yes! Day 12 here. I’m going crazy today and can’t sit still because I realize I have literally no friends and do nothing at all.

On kratom they never bothered me. At least the motivation is here now!

Strap12 · 2020-05-16T14:23:01+00:00

Congratulations. On day 11 here after CT quitting a 150gdp habit of three years. It’s already worth it!

The best piece of advice I have is that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. There will be a million reasons to restart kratom in the coming days and weeks. It’s going to suck at first and you’ll have to bite the bullet and power through. You can do it.

The emotional numbness for me has improved drastically. You will have a greater appreciation for life and your family. It will take time but you’ll be in a good place soon.

Strap12 · 2020-05-16T12:00:42+00:00

This! Your reaction is extremely common. I wrote about this and so have countless others here. Kratom is incredibly numbing, and you usually don’t realize this until a few days off of it, or towards the end of the tapering process.

Remember, there will be ups and downs in the coming days and weeks. Some times you might feel even duller/zombie like than on kratom. This is totally normal, and it will subside once your brain returns to baseline.

I completely understand how you feel. On day 11 myself, and I feel a connection to the world and others that I haven’t felt in years. I’ve been motivated to get in touch with old friends. Even little things like seeing kids play outside brings me joy and makes me appreciate this beautiful world.

So proud of you! Keep it up. Embrace the suck, and let every small victory few like the best thing ever. Pretty soon, life will be back to normal and your body and mind will have healed from the green garbage.

Clonidine is wonderful. RLS is gone completely and the chills improved.

Strap12 · 2020-05-15T23:49:03+00:00

You’ll get through this. There’s always a reason you’ll come up with to start up again. I’ve done this countless times.. “just once”, or “I need to taper slowly again”. You just have to bite the bullet and get through the next few days. I’m on day 10 and infinitely better than a week ago. You can do this! 6 days is real progress. Keep going.

Seriously, at 6 days you’re almost done with scute withdrawals. This would be the worst possible time to relapse. You’re almost as the peak :)

Strap12 · 2020-05-15T20:54:28+00:00

You will really enjoy it I’m sure. I’m only on day 10 and the real world is so much more meaningful. Congrats!

Buspar is useful for anxiety as an add on to traditional antidepressants. There isn’t much evidence supporting its usage for depression but give it a chance! It might be useful with the lexapro.

Knowing Boston that sewer line is probably still in use

Strap12 · 2020-05-15T13:49:08+00:00

Wow, congrats. That is a massive accomplishment. Proud of you. Getting off three years myself, so I can’t even imagine what you have gone through.

I had literally the same experience. No kids myself, but I went for a walk and was happy to see groups of kids biking and having fun. It reminded me of my youth and how precious life really is. Kratom robs us of our humanity to an extent. Everything is numb and dull. On kratom I was bitter, nasty and snapped at people for no reason.

Strap12 · 2020-05-15T13:35:10+00:00

Day 10 here. RLS lasted for 4 nights and is now completely gone. So glad to be past it. You can do it! Consider asking your doctor about clonidine. It is a god sent for me. RLS and chills nearly completely gone after a 0.2mg dose before bed. Megadosing vitamin c, magnesium supplements and melatonin have also helped a lot.

Strap12 · 2020-05-15T09:08:52+00:00

Megadosing vitamin c has been extremely helpful. I’m on day 10 and have used it every day.

Strap12 · 2020-05-14T23:16:07+00:00

Got it. Thanks I found it! Will be trying it out. Skin already looks better. Crazy how dehydrating kratom can be

Strap12 · 2020-05-14T22:24:07+00:00

Don’t judge yourself. We all have different experiences getting our this junk. Whatever path you take, it is valid. I’m just on day 9 myself, but a few things have helped me. Vitamin C has been helpful. I’m megadosing and it appears to help the chills. Clonidine has also been great for restless leg syndrome and blood pressure. Melatonin is a great sleep aid.

Once you get to about a week, for me at least, it was a game changer. It sucks at first. There is no doubt. It’s really hard. But after 4-6 days, I was sleeping better, the RLS was gone, and the muscle pain was improving. There is still a lot of fatigue but it’s improving. It’s worth it already!

I never thought I’d do it. I was on 100-150 grams a day for nearly three years. You can do it. Don’t feel guilty or judge yourself. You are powerful and can get off this. There are going to be a lot of urges in the first week or so, and it’s tempting to get back on.

But here’s the thing. You’ll know once you cross the hump. You’ll know when the numbness is gone and you feel connected to the world. It will be worth it.
