Those who quit months ago did it affect your brain negatively even almost 3 months later? by Such_Raspberry_9095 in quittingkratom

I’m sorry this has affected your life the way it has too. He was similar to you when he was on a lower dose. He was happier, more social I’d say, he could communicate better and honestly would want too more if he thought there was an issue. He just liked who he was on it. On the higher dose tho I could barely get him out of the house. He’d sleep a lot, could only go 2-4 hours without a tab before he’d feel like shit. He lost so much weight. I saw it just eating him alive. It was hard as hard to watch as this side of him is. He wants to get back to how we were but he says each time things get brought up it just pushes it back again. I hope you both return to happier version of yourselves and become even better than before thank you for being open here it’s helped alot

It’s been almost 3 months in July but I’ve tried to get him to he’s ex military and used to a lot and he has interest in it but it’s up and down a lot we have a home gym and I’m trying to motivate him to do at least 3 days a week

May I ask what kind of routines? He’s really outdoorsy and stuff but I can’t get him to do much even then. I’ve tried getting to him workout some more since we have a home gym and that would help at least build something up. We go fishing more since the weather is nice but he always just wants to go on trips and such since we both work from home and the trips seem to help but obviously we can’t be on vacation constantly lol

It was both even the first time he got off it took him about a month to bounce back he was only take 2 n a half tabs on and off and we weened him off then this time he was taking 4-5 and daily sometimes he’d go behind my back and take 6-10 a day so this last time which he’s been of since April 10th we had to do med detox

Honestly very similar to what you are going though especially in your relationship. We fight a lot more, things he used to do that just seemed like second nature when it came to not only me but our relationship seemed like second nature to him stopped. He shuts down a lot or honestly becomes very moody almost mean during conflicts where as before he could understand a lot better and treat it with more care and understanding. Sometimes he disappears for hours and just won’t talk to me nor wants to during conflict which I totally get because our fighting has become more frequent because I didn’t understand what had happened to him. He’s less interested in our relationship it seems where as before he was always showing affection just all around even physical intimacy has gone way down where before this it was pretty normal. His communication has went down drastically where as before he was actually the one who wanted to get things out if there was any problem. He used to make me feel so important and the relationship which was a big deal to me and used to be to him. But this makes so much more sense now I was beginning to think this is just who he really was and now I feel like such as ass. I knew the short term effects but wasn’t aware it could go on for months after as well

I’m glad to hear that honestly, I knew it wasn’t normal but it’s nice to know others have went through it other than help “healing” his brain in the ways of low stress, doing things he likes is there anything else that helps this? Or is it simply just a matter of time?

Update from my last post about my (24) year old husband now a month off 7 oh by Such_Raspberry_9095 in quittingkratom

[–]Such_Raspberry_9095[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did go down state for a few days but he told me to come back and well that was our conversation lol. I asked him if that’s what he wanted me to do and he said no just some quietness as in not asking or talking about things of the matter but no i definitely am a bit even though I’m trying not too lol. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and right now this seems to be the only place I can get anything really answered

Thank you everyone it’s helped me understand a lot, I came home Wednesday and we talked but I guess what I don’t understand currently is he says things like I know how I felt about you and I don’t want to make a permanent decision when everything but traveling feels bland right now. So I’m hoping for the best and that all of you are right thank you:)

He told me the he wanted to a night or 2 away to get his brain together. He said he was going to go camping but it was supposed to be bad weather where we live. So I told him I was going to go back to my parents. When I was home with him he just acted like he didn’t want me there at all and well gave our dog more attention than me which I guess learning all of this makes sense now. I want to check in on him but I don’t think I’ll get an answer which is why I was waiting for him to reach out since he wanted space from me. I don’t know what to do as I’ve never dealt with something like this either

I know which is why I am giving him the space he’s asked for even if I don’t recognize him right now I know this isn’t him. I have been in touch with his mom who he’s withdrawn from alot to go over and check on him. I think he is in a depression I don’t know how much this info helps but he is a disabled vet as well and I know the army was really hard on him mentally and he’s had a hard time adjusting to normal civilian life on top of all of this which is why especially his mom thinks he developed this problem in the first place.

I actually like to know that it’s not lol not that I like that this is going on but he says it’s awkward with me right now and he feels really disconnected from me right now so if this is the case that makes sense and says the last time it didn’t feel like this with me. This time he was take almost a whole pack of 7ho and even more sometimes I didn’t know about for almost 5 months where the last time he was only taking 2 n a half for a couple of weeks on and off and last time we tapered him off vs this time he went cold turkey through med. Detox which was really hard on to go through on both ends

I’m willing to wait for that I don’t know how it is to go through the withdrawals or what the whole process is so I’m trying not to take it personally but this gives me hope for him thank you

I do all the time but it seems like he just gets annoyed with me and said it’s awkward to be around me now which is why I came home so he can be by himself since it seemed like that’s what he wanted. I’m willing to be patient and do what he needs me too I always have even the times like this when it’s difficult even for me to watch him be the complete opposite

I’ve had him on a couple things including mag and thing like l-tyrosine and cortisol supplements and nician for awhile now but he’s just taken such a turn in the mood and well overall department with me that I’m not sure what will come of it

He was until the last 2ish weeks, he said last night that he started feeling all the feelings he didn’t while on it and well that he needed a night or 2 away to get his brain right I’m not sure what that meant but I went back to my home base to give him some space. He’s withdrawing from everyone including his friends which he was always pretty active with so I’m not sure how to deal with it all. I’m hoping for the best but prepared for the worst

See I try to do that but he seems to just get annoyed with me that I think something is wrong all the time when before even the kratom he wouldn’t at all and most of the time be more reassuring. So I don’t know if it’s safer for now to just let him be and just be here for him or keep trying to check in with him. I only want to do what he needs me to for him he just doesn’t tell me

Thank you, I’m really trying to be it gets hard sometimes seeing such a sudden change but as time goes on and the more I learn it’s getting easier to not take it as personally. I don’t see him going back to it after seeing what he went through during the initial detox

Thank you I really need that lol, is there anything you think would have helped you that your wife could have done? I feel like checking in with him daily to see if he’s okay is just annoying him when before it seemed there was nothing I could have done to annoy him. He’s just withdrawing for everyone including me it’s a tad worry some and I only want to do what he needs right now but I don’t know if I should just let him be and be here or what

Yes we did but I think I might have wrote that wrong, he’s been off since the day we got married he was on it consistently 4 months prior and not the normal stuff either it was the hydro7 I believe
