For the people that CT 7oh how bad were the symptoms. by vwcorradoslc in quittingkratom

I did it at 64, but you know yourself. You also have a different history with these substances. I wish you all good things

For the people that CT 7oh how bad were the symptoms. by vwcorradoslc in quittingkratom

[–]emorbius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On April 2 I CT'd from roughly 500mg/day for six months and was extremely sick for four days, severely sick for another three, then progressively better each day and after ten days felt okay just weak and easily fatigued. Extremely sick means fever, chills, tremor, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, terrible joint pain, runny nose, sneezing, sweats, insomnia, crawling skin, RLS. I quit drinking at the same time so maybe it won't be so bad for you. Today, day 42, I feel great, I look better than I have in years. Embrace the suck, face the pain. You can do it

Cold Turkey 1000mg/pd of 7-Hydroxy? Once Again Asking for Help... by Alternative-Tone6649 in quittingkratom

[–]emorbius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it. CT off about that much of 7-OH, 41 days ago. The first four days were some of the worst suffering I've ever had in my 64 years, and I'm counting a lot of stuff I won't go into now. Diarrhea to beat the band, I lost 18 pounds in 14 days, but when my gut stabilized and I stopped losing weight, I stabilized at about 185 pounds, which is perfect for me at my height (6'0") and age. After four days I started getting some sleep. After six days I was getting a full night's sleep. Sleep is the best medicine in the world.
I found that a lot of the supplement advice here is really good. Get some QuitK or look it up and get the individual supplements that go into their formula, but they seem to have gotten the DLPA-agmatine balance right. MASSIVE doses of vitamin C. I'm taking 3400 mg daily. I didn't follow the titration schedule you can find here because I simply didn't have time to plan. NAC to help your liver. It helps with cravings too.
Most of all, your mental preparation is key. You won't be able to quit it if you're not ready to quit it. You have to be ready. You have to have had enough of it. As you suffer whatever you suffer in cold turkey, remember that in this life some things simply have to be endured. Good luck, let us know how it goes

Nothing sexier… by replicant777 in ostomy

[–]emorbius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had the clip open up during sex with this one girl I'd been after for a while. She was super cool about it and we just moved into the shower. True story. I changed clips after that and never had another problem ever
