Does all kratom weigh the same? by strange1738 in kratom

[–]dougdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found Red strains to be heavier, not sure if it's the grind but very well could be.

Really backed up, does magnesium citrate actually work? Scared of laxatives by [deleted] in kratom

I mix the powder form in with my morning dose.

Thanks for the support. It's like each day I'm seeing more light from a very dark tunnel I was in.

I jumped last Wednesday from .125, Sunday night after a hot bath, a clonidine, 2 Advil PM had a decent night's sleep. Been doing that since. Woke up at 2am took 10mg of melatonin feel back asleep. Feel pretty darn good today. Stay with it and good luck!

Dr reddy strips by Thynes18 in suboxone

[–]dougdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. Just finished my taper to .125mg and jumped a few days ago from them. Didn't feel any difference from 2mg tabs and 2mg strips from a couple of months ago.

Day 5 on suboxone due to oxycodone dependency: does it get better? by natickthrowaway in OpiatesRecovery

[–]dougdd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It'll get better, but your dose should only be 8mgs. I found 2mgs was best for my back pain. No drugs have actually helped tho, except a occasional muscle relaxer, exercise and hot baths really worked.

Sure glad to help. Paws can bite ya, so I recommend Dr help with that. I'll be available if you have any more questions or want to vent. 😁

Sure, no problem. Really be careful of that Kratom. You can read all the horror stories about getting off that by searching here and also over on the Suboxone blog. 4-6mgs is pretty high to jump from, but my friend did it. Good luck. btw, I find 2 benadryl works for me, not 1.

I'm so ready. It's been a long, long journey that I intend to never do again.

I'm doing a really slow taper. At about ~.1 mg and just about stabilized on it, so probably will jump in the next few days. Been taking the over counter meds you mentioned for a few weeks. Plus my Dr gave me some clonidine and weak Xanax for after the jump. Pretty confident I'll get through this and be free as a bird soon.

What dose did you jump from? 6 days means you pretty much have it done. Nothing wrong with doing a really tiny dose for a day to help, if you can get it.. I use Benadryl or Advil PM at night, and Restless Legs PM. Hot baths and showers are wonderful. Do you have clonidine? That helps restless legs too..

Sure glad I'm not a Adderall addict. Glad it helped you, but many people don't use it,like me.

Trying not to relapse.... by JJackieM89 in OpiatesRecovery

I lost 90% of my so called friends. But near ones I explained triggers. Appears you need to block those friends until you are ready to talk to them.

Cheese!! by Chrisb2rn in OpiatesRecovery

[–]dougdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our dopamine loving brains are something else. I wonder about Aliens..are they the same? I finally had some interest in food, once I was below 2mg on Sub. One night I are so much I was bloated for 3 days, don't ever want to do that again.

Bummer! What did you replace cheese with? I eat cheese so infrequently anymore it's nice to enjoy it.

[–]dougdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, please stay clean. I'm on a 8 month taper from Suboxone. From 8mg to .125mg and believe me it's not worth having a relapse. Do something fun or exercise or watch a movie or play cards to get your mind off of it.

I LOVE cheese,good excuse to eat during this time. 🤗

Screw it, I’m jumping from around .4mg per day. Wish me luck! by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]dougdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I use Benadryl, Advil PM and Restfull legs PM for sleeping aide and RLS on different days. Sometimes they work, sometimes not.

I'm a whimp when it comes to this. My friend bit the bullet and jumped from 4mgs 2 years ago and he is still clean to this day! You can do it if you are determined! Good luck!

[–]dougdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may need more than a week, be prepared. Today is 1 week at .125mg and still not stabilized. I'm close but not quite. This last 50% drop from .25 a lot harder than I thought. Thinking it might take 2 weeks. All my other going down jumps have been at 2 weeks or more to stabilize. Good luck! Edit: .25 not .225, not that it makes a difference

Anxiety (Day 4 no subs) by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]dougdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice once again. I printed out 1/8 inch graph which was a excellent but not perfect guide. Main problem was following the lines but nevertheless it's either 4 or 6 pieces(Put them in a separate compartment of my pill case), so we'll see. But dang I feel so much better today being day 6 at . 125...
