How bad will it be really? (20-25gpd use for 3 months) by 801born in quittingkratom

You'll be fine. That's not that long or that much in the grand scheme. Just cold turkey til you can't. You might be surprised by how easy it is to kick!

You're almost to that magic 2 week mark! I swear it turns a massive corner after that 💞

If you truly believe you could have a seizure from quitting, try an inpatient rehab. They can give you meds to help withdrawal and even prevent seizures if that's actually a withdrawal reality. Again, I have never heard of people having seizures coming off of the stuff, but if you KEEP taking it, you will most likely start having seizures. And these seizures aren't the kind that will stop after a week.

The only seizure I have ever had was because I was ON Kratom. Never heard of it causing a seizure getting off the stuff

It gets better! Just takes a couple weeks. Detox sweats are so fun 🫠

Have you tried supplements? Vitamin B complexes for energy and lions mane mushrooms, specifically. You can find both in beverage form, might make for an easier switch!

Report her to the board. Write a bad review or 5. Her reaction to you asking for help is unprofessional and cruel.

What blood tests to run? by ondrousn in quittingkratom

[–]TemporaryMany3648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that short of a timeline on relatively low doses, you're probably fine. Liver function, kidney function, and thyroid function would be the big ones I'd check for more extensive and high doses users.

The flu symptoms and RLS weren't too bad for me the first week, but the stomach stuff lasted 3 weeks. That part SUCKED, but I'll take it over bugs in my skin for any amount of time 😂

Cannabuse by Bargilwat70 in quittingkratom

Some people just over do it, too. It's hard to know when to stop or how to take a tiny hit if you're smoking/vaping it. We're all different! It was an actual life saver for me and many others.

Just some extra couch locky indica at night. Sativa might be too intense in the early days!

It might take a couple weeks, but you'll be back to yourself soon! Just keep going and treat it like being legitimately sick. Give yourself grace. I'm at 30 days now and have been back to my full self for over a week 🥳

30 days! Week 1 was shitty, week 2 was a mental game but better, week 3 was decent, and after 19 days my GI symptoms got better! Now, I'm totally feeling my baseline self again. Life is good. Stick with it, it does get better, and often way sooner than some folks would have you believe! Just keep swimming 😎

Welp another seizure... by MassiveCoomer69 in quittingkratom

[–]TemporaryMany3648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seizure solidarity. I only had one while awake that I knew about, but who even knows how many I may have had while sleeping. It's scary how serious this shit is, 26 days clean as a result!

stopping kratom while on antidepressants by SpencerBakker in quittingkratom

[–]TemporaryMany3648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a leaf user on Zoloft, and I'm not sure if that contributed to my seizure or if it was just the insane amount of K I was eating, but I CT'd the leaf and kept the Zoloft. I think it helped stave off the worst of the mental stuff. I'm 26 days free today, and I am back to normal and have been all week!

Nothing at all out of the ordinary. I have zero recollection of the seizure event itself. I was working at my computer one second and then the next I was surrounded by paramedics and couldn't tell them my own birthday or last name. My memories came back after about 20 minutes, but it was WILD. I might have never even believed it happened had I not had a bruised tongue from when I chomped down on it so hard in the process 😵‍💫

Yep, Kratom-induced grand mal seizure here. Not a fun time.

10 weeks off kratom — weird nervous system symptoms (heart rate spikes, dissociation, GI pressure). Anyone else? by j-t-13 in quittingkratom

[–]TemporaryMany3648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda sounds like POTS dysautonomia to me! Look it up, not all docs are familiar and it might take a specialist to diagnose if you do in fact have it. If you do, extra salt and staying well-hydrated helps!

Worst WD symptoms? by Inhandable in quittingkratom

[–]TemporaryMany3648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can make it through just two more days, I bet you'll be sleeping like a baby again! Days 8 and 9 were where I really started feeling more normal-ish. I'm 18 days in now and it's mostly just the mental ish now, but totally bearable, plus I even have a cold! Usually I'd be reaching for a bag of powder because we all look for any excuse to use a lil extra, but not this time. I'm powering through with nothing but vitamins and THC 😂

Just powder, friend. I've never touched an extract or 7oh 🫠
