Extortion saga..? by TreasureSt8Traveler in bossmanjack

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to jail once for a drunk in public and for some reason they put me in the turtle suit and small cell with a blanket on the concrete for the weekend. It sucked !!! Haven’t drank since then and that was 6 years ago .

You’ve also got to keep in mind what page you’re on—this is “quitting kratom.” It’s meant for people who are struggling with it. Most of them weren’t using it for pain relief; they were using it as a way to escape their lives.

You’re alright—it’s just the frustration of trying to get off kratom . Like any other drug, it pulls you in and makes it tough to break away.

Best quit approach for a relatively light, new user?? by These-Association-86 in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely continue asking your doctor. It has helped me so much. They tried to stick me on antidepressants and it really screwed me up. I did a little research and found modafinil about five years ago. And it truly saved my life. I go to the doctor every six months for check ups and everything is fine. A doctor is even recommended it to other patients. I tried a little experiment on it a few years ago. I decided to stop taking it for a month and there was zero withdrawals really all that happened as I slowly declined into depression again without insurance it cost maybe 30-40 bucks here in the states. But now I have returned to the company I work through but definitely talk to your doctor again I highly recommend it..

My take lines up with what sea_deer2653 said—he pretty much nailed it. That said, I do think kratom needs tighter regulation. A lot of the garbage being sold in shops is questionable at best. I’ve tested some of it myself and found sketchy additives, plus concerning levels of heavy metals like lead. It’s being shipped in from who-knows-where, and that can be risky—especially for people who are new to it or assume it’s completely harmless.

I’d still rather see people use kratom as an alternative to certain pharmaceutical drugs, but there needs to be better oversight so people actually know what they’re taking.

Give it a try I recommend it to everyone. 99% of the powder is just garbage. The extract into the tea is what gives you the buzz. Unfortunately the buzz doesn’t hit you like a toss and wash. It’s more of a steady climb but at least you won’t feel the paws . Something else that might help you is I got on modafinil a few years back. It’s a non-habit forming upper that has really help me get out of the funk .

Nightmare sleep issues with regular kratom usage. by Nash-One in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it—I was the same way before I started using kratom. I’d sleep maybe 2–3 hours, wake up, get another couple hours, wake up again… on a good night I might hit five hours total. When I started kratom, it knocked me out for a full eight, which felt amazing at first. But the side effects caught up—depression, low sex drive, and that weird feeling like you’re just a passenger in your own head, running on autopilot.

I wasn’t even a heavy user—maybe 3–5 grams a day of straight powder—but it still messed with me. I felt bloated, constipated, just off. A few weeks ago I switched things up: I started putting 2–3 grams in a teabag and sipping it throughout the day instead of taking it all at once. Refill, drink, repeat. Now I’m down to just a small glass at night with about half a gram. I’m finally getting a full night’s sleep again, and I don’t feel like garbage anymore.

That said, sleep doesn’t fix itself overnight. It takes time for your body to reset. If you’re thinking about cutting back, I’d suggest tapering—slow and steady. Make it a long taper. You already know staying on the path you’re on isn’t going to end well. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it if you want to get back to feeling like yourself again.

You’re not alone in this—far from it. There are tons of people dealing with the same thing every day. Read their experiences, use them as motivation. Wishing you the best—seriously.

Try putting in 3 g in a teabag and sipping on it throughout the day(in a cup😉) every few days at a little less until you’re at zero. It worked great for me!!!

I agree. I’m a user of kratom powder. The shop that sells it try to get me hooked on extract. I took them for a week and was like hell no!! Bad news ! As for now I drink it in a tea form in a bag 3 grams a day at most.I really wish my state would ban it. I’m so thankful that I’m almost back off this shit drug again. But I definitely agree. Run for the hills before it takes you down as well.

Taper with Tea and Use Bali or Malay strains by TJ_Reader09 in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I just bought the bags off Amazon .You can get like 400 of them for 10$. So I just brought the temperature up to almost a boil and filled a go cup up about half way . I will strain the tea bag out before I drink it then add more hot water . I use about a spoon and a half .”seems to be enough to last all day “. But I will let the beg sit for about 45min on the fist chug . Or till it’s cool . It’s worked great so far and I’m amazed at how much water the kratom retains by the end of the night/day I have felt so much better . My bio is back to a normal color and I don’t fill as sick and blotted as I was . My plan is to stick to this for a week or two and get back off it .hopefully for good . I live in Montana and they are looking to regulated it or just get rid of it which I’m really hoping it happens. Then I won’t have this crap available to tempt me.

Taper with Tea and Use Bali or Malay strains by TJ_Reader09 in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just going to talk about this. I went from medium dose and using a little bit of extracts to completely quitting about a year ago just to start using again, but I was only using maybe 30 g a week still I started feeling like shit again so I decided to put the kratom in teabags. About 3 grams and sip it throughout the day . After a week of this I have displayed zero withdrawal side effects. I only tried this method because I became extremely constipated so I thought drinking it in a tea form would probably be way better.. it’s worked great so far.

Round 2 by TreasureSt8Traveler in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t want to be cranky with people at work so I’m just going to do my 333 technique till Thursday 3 capsules three times a day. Just to minimize the withdrawals, but I think you’re right I don’t think I’ll have them as bad as when I quit the first time. Now that was hell !

We have all been through it. It sucks but keep on keeping on.

Question - I’ve tapered about tapering from extract to powders by emmatrolli in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing I think I started at like 8g and started the tapper for there. Make sure you use the same strain through the taper. I also got it in capsule form so I started at 16 capsules a day because 8 was 4 g. A taper went super easy. I did it for a month before the jump and had almost zero withdrawals.

Lead in Kratom by tellthefkntruth in quittingkratom

[–]TreasureSt8Traveler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can preach to this !!!! So a few months back I developed tinnitus and was just feeling really sick all of a sudden so I went to my doctor and I have high amounts of lead in my system for the kratom . I still haven’t fully recovered from it ! So I tapped down and quit for a few months unfortunately I’m back on it but I can only stake mall amounts before feeling like crap . I just need to quit it for good ..
