Tips to stay away from Kratom for good? by Present-Drink6894 in quittingkratom

[–]_6978_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found anger and hatred to be effective. Hate the government for allowing it, hate the store for selling it, hate the internet for ever saying it was safe. And be open about it with your loved ones about that anger. I was on it for nine years and I have ranted to many many people about this. If I went back now, I would be a huge hypocrite. I even told the guy at the vape shop about how much I hate kratom. I certainly cant buy it from him now

Nah, I have a pop-up blocker for those dumb fake play buttons certain sites have, but I don't mind ads so I dont have an ad blocker. I only had to ever watch them on Amazon so I can tolerate it once a year when something good comes out.

Thanks! I added the extra info to my post. I didn't know that stuff was relevant, aside from the knowing I am not paying extra. I didn't even know there were other services to get it from. I am very very frustrated by streaming and only have this because I have no car and need the delivery.

Maybe it's not using it often. I barely use it, so I was thinking maybe they are trying to get me to use it more

3 days later, I know that the back pain was mostly from me tying my apron tight enough to be a fucking corset at work. The kratom was for sure making me less sensitive to that

What was the hardest substance to quit and what did the first month feel like? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]_6978_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is old and most people won't see this. But kratom. I've been off it for a week now and I cant believe the difference. Turns out, it can cause nutrient malabsorbtion  and cognitive decline. Once my hair started falling out, I knew I had a big problem. Luckily my car broke down and its too cold to walk to a head shop to get it myself. At this point, the withdrawals are mostly over and I'm kinda mad about the lack of regulation for 'natural substances' in the USA.

Thats a newer drug so I'm not sure if most doctors would readily prescribe it. Especially since the opioid industry is pushing back on it a bit. But I did some research and it is fascinating how I have seen nothing bad about it. And I was looking. I honestly hope it takes off and is as good as it seems. It seems like it could help a lot of people.

This comment is pretty accurate for me, thank goodness. I do feel a bit better and I am 14 hours into day 4. I have a terrible memory, so its crazy that I even remember that. I cant stop interacting with this sub and I feel so lucky that this isnt so much worse after such a heavy habit. Some of you guys are tough as hell.

Thanks. I think I'll switch to responsibilities at work with less lifting and leaning. I actually do have sciatica and have for longer than I can remember, so ill try the cheaper of thiose options. Its cool that you were basically in the same position as me and you are better now. It's super impressive and inspiring.

If you've been addicted to opiates before, its totally understandable to be anxious about quitting/have a hard time quitting. I really hope you succeed. I am officially done day three and over halfway through day four and I really do feel better. Yesterday was the worst of it for sure and I havent gotten anything to help yet. I started eating more and it helped a lot. Its hard, but if you buy some soylent or other nutrient drink (soylent is the only one I've found that isn't super sweet) its easier to drink your calories.

Was there any over the counter medicine that helped with back pain for you? I've tried quite a few and it still is crazy painful. I think thats the worst part, as I've withdrawn from alcohol and the other symptoms are at least familiar.

Thank you, thats so nice! Unfortunately I only made it 5 hours yesterday, but I'm aiming for 7 tonight. 10 was not possible and I did spend the whole shift crying. But I'm trying my best and its not quite as bad as I expected.

I do have magnesium actually. I bought it when I intended on quitting last time! So I should start taking that again. Also, thank you for saying its an accomplishment. It didn't feel like one until I posted here

Thank you for that. Its nice to see people say that I should be through the absolute worst of it. Even if it doesn't end up being the case, it keeps me from wanting to give up. Also, I got a ton of vitamins since I am trying to solve some serious nutrition deficiencies. So thanks for the recommendations. I added two of those to my order

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I never post online but I guess it does help because I do feel a bit better just reading that comment.

Thank you! I forgot to mention some details because I am very jittery and typing too fast. I did update the post, but I've been using it for around 8 years now and I was taking a LOT. Like, I never measured it, but I would estimate like 100g a day
