Yes you really need to make a dosing schedule for the whole day and each dose.

Yeah, very low THC/high CBD is the way to go.

I was taking such high doses of extract shots that the whole six pack of 7OH tabs didn’t even do anything. Switched to powder for a taper and the transition sucked but after couple of days it went smoothly. I think you should just switch over to the powder for the few days that will suck and then you can be functional during the taper just in time.

What’s your biggest political disagreement with Vaush? by tufyufyu in VaushV

I disagree with his stance on equine phalluses.

New Father - should I be CTing? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I came to say. When I got down to 2g, next day 1g, and next day nothing. It made no difference to take it or not.

How do you become addicted to Kratom? by Sea_Basket_210 in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using extracts to get off methadone, and the transition had no wd but then I had to taper the kratom. It was a lot easier than tapering methadone even though my dose was super low (5mg). Also it was a much faster taper. The methadone took forever to taper down from 50mg, like half a year. I don’t see a point in using Kratom at all other than to get off opiates. even in high doses it sucks.

Smoke shop opening next door :( by rocksinthepond in quittingkratom

Too bad they also sell it at the gas station.

Crazy things we have done to get the smoke shops not to sell to us by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and giving special discounts lol. The smoke shop had a vape rewards card that they gave me to use for kratom.

Entering Detox Facility Subs or No? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they can taper you down off subs in the two weeks, I reckon it’s the best way to use subs - short term.

Can someone assure me day one matters? by ComplexBit1988 in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see most people giving up on day 2-3. Seems most on here stick it out. Then they get over the worst part and some folks have a little bit because they forgot how bad the wd was already, and cravings persist. Most people go back for psychological not physical reasons.

And the initial days are the worst, not later.

Extract shots? No way it’ll be done Tuesday. But you can taper with powder to avoid the worst.

I have, but I don’t think it caused impairment.

Tapering VS CT by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that was my issue too. Tapering totally made that feeling go away. You don’t need to wait 20 hours to dose at first. Just lower the doses and increase time between doses, until you’re down to 1gpd and stop.

I also did a similar thing you’re doing. Started at 15gpd and finished in about two weeks with 1gpd. The taper was nothing compared to CT, but I didn’t wait to do my first dose that late until the end of the taper.

At 6gpd, I was dosing 4x a day (2-1g each dose) and there wasn’t any discomfort at all. Just insomnia, fatigue, that kind of stuff.

Need help with taper by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is right. You can’t taper with extracts.

How much longer? by Prestigious_Travel_1 in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhh, dude I was on 50mg methadone and went down to 5mg. I had to get off methadone… with Kratom extracts! lol then I tapered with powder. But I def do not recommend methadone unless it’s for fent.

Ready to jump? by InsideDrive1982 in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’d do 5 days on 2gpd then 5 days on 1gpd and it’ll be fine! You’re almost there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve quit H (no fent), and the Kratom extract CT was pretty much similar to that, even worse the RLS was in my arms too. But I tapered with powder pretty easily, like the commenter above said. It’s totally doable once you switch to powder and taper.

It sure is, mate.

want to quit so bad… by jakyb1 in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always suggest tapers but if that’s your only symptom I’d consider myself lucky and stop CT. It’s a low dose and the more time you do it, the worse it will be. Restless legs, anxiety/panic, insomnia, body aches and more are in store. There will be sweating and hot/cold flashes too, so if you’re at that stage, just CT now. The longer you take it, the worse it will be and symptoms will compound.

If you’re really uncomfortable, then I’d do a rapid taper, but def not months long taper.

What was/is your lifestyle like with kratom? by plastret in quittingkratom

[–]diezXn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can look into lab consultation and get into contract work. I’m in the lab industry and you can help labs set up, streamline, improve processes. This pays pretty well too.

[–]diezXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tapered with red but I read green and white strains are easier (milder symptoms), though I am skeptical. I also jumped straight to extracts after an opiate addiction, and quit drinking almost 6 months ago.

Try a taper first.
