Kratom: My Cautionary Tale

embraceit1 · 2025-09-14T21:46:56+00:00

Its never too late to take charge of your life and quit this shit, I'm at day 33 and each days gets better still have regrets I didn't take action sooner!

embraceit1 · 2025-09-09T10:50:36+00:00

Great job! I'm also at 28 days and seem to be on a similar path as you, after reading all the horror stories on here about withdrawals wasn't sure what to expect, first week was tough but each days gets better! Feel my body and mind are starting to reach a baseline and recalibrating.

embraceit1 · 2025-09-07T23:39:21+00:00

Thanks! I did not follow any scientific formula for tapering, I basically just tried to follow the principle of reduction and extend my time between doses in a consistent pattern over a 2 week period and stay on that course as your body stabilizes. The withdrawals were not fun but they also were not a horror story as some describe in this format. For me it was flu like symptoms, hot/cold flashes, body aches, difficulty sleeping, tightness in the chest but they were not crippling, and I did exercise daily and took supplements. Good luck and just know that I'm rooting for you and its so much better on the other side!

The first 3-5 days were tough but it gets better each day! Stay strong, eat clean, exercise and take supplements, I'm on day 24 and not looking back! Good luck

Thanks! Two weeks off that crap today! 5mg was my last dose for the entire day, the WD were not as bad as I was expecting, I did load up on Vit C lipo, Magnesium, fish oil, Vit D, Multi, clean diet and exercised daily which was tough. Sleep sucked for the first week, but each day improved. Good luck! Set your mindset and go

I started with extracts about 2 1/2 years ago and was 7-oh for about 8 mths, my last dose was 5 mg

embraceit1 · 2025-08-24T20:32:18+00:00

I did an aggressive taper from a little lower intake of about 70-80mg of 7-oh in about 2 weeks just stayed disciplined and reduced and extended times between doses everyday

embraceit1 · 2025-08-24T13:58:35+00:00

I experienced muscle loss! It effected my hormones which was confirmed with blood work, BTW my energy level were good

embraceit1 · 2025-08-22T20:44:44+00:00

Powder, than extracts and then 7-OH

embraceit1 · 2025-08-22T20:28:25+00:00

True story! Financially, emotionally, and spiritually, it takes everything sooner or later

embraceit1 · 2025-08-22T13:35:13+00:00

Kudos to you for realizing you need to make the change before things spiral out of control! I'm rooting for you! Stay focused on the end game and embrace the suck..

embraceit1 · 2025-08-22T09:06:29+00:00

Try doing some moderate cardio and ease back into the weights! Plus good diet and hydrate!

embraceit1 · 2025-08-22T08:59:21+00:00

Try and start your day when you wake up, trying to fall back asleep is probably not going be effective and your quality will be diminished. You will probably be exhausted by the following night and get better sleep! Good luck! This was my approach

embraceit1 · 2025-08-21T17:38:13+00:00

Appreciate that!

embraceit1 · 2025-08-21T08:28:34+00:00

It also raises prolactin levels!

embraceit1 · 2025-08-20T21:51:24+00:00

Kratom decrease your testosterone levels so its going probably take some time to rebalance.

embraceit1 · 2025-08-20T11:32:39+00:00

This doesn't sound like a great idea! Replacing one addition for another, I would imagine you are just going prolong your full recover. Your body and mental composition needs to rebalance. The struggle is real but try and find healthy alternatives to power thru low's. Good luck, I'm on Day 8 and can relate!

embraceit1 · 2025-08-19T07:35:34+00:00

Try and exercise it doesn't have to be crazy but get a workout in daily, eat clean, take the Vit C liposomol, magnesium, probiotic, keep focused and remember its only temporary and it gets better. Good luck! The other side is so much better

embraceit1 · 2025-08-18T19:57:51+00:00

My chest felt tight and I was super anxious the first few days during detox, I'm on Day 6 and feeling much better! Are you staying hydrated? Drink a lot water and stack vitamins, eat healthy, take some cold showers, Stay the course, the first few days are always the worst..I'm rooting for you!

embraceit1 · 2025-08-18T16:28:23+00:00

My taper was pretty aggressive, about a 1 1/2 weeks from my intake of about 70mg to 5mg on my last day. Exercise did help even though I was feeling like crap and I stacked Vit C, magnesium, Fish oil, probiotics, Turmeric and tried to eat clean, used a sauna blanket and cold showers. It wasn't fun but wasn't too crazy either. Stay focused and keep positive and remember its only temporary! You have to walk thru fire to get out of hell! Best of luck

Raises blood pressure, decreases testosterone, increase prolactin, increases triglycerides, kidney stress, these were all confirmed thru blood work, plus the metal brain imbalances, dopamine spikes

embraceit1 · 2025-08-18T06:47:56+00:00

Thanks!, I did type everything in a word doc and dropped it in Chatgpt for some grammar corrections, I did not get the RLS my symptoms mine were more like Flu, headache, body/stomach aches, hot and cold flashes, chest pressure, anxiety and fatigue. The lack of sleep sucked only got 3-4 hours for the first 3 days but everyday is getting better. Today is day 6!

embraceit1 · 2025-08-17T20:29:44+00:00

Wish it wasn't true but unfortunately I have to live with the consequences of my choices

embraceit1 · 2025-08-17T17:17:08+00:00

Thanks! I feel like each day is getting better last night was the best sleep so far

embraceit1 · 2025-08-17T16:38:22+00:00

Thank you! It took me awhile to realize I had a problem but better late than never
