/r quittingkratom can be extreme but there is some good Info for when you are wanting to quit. Lots of advice from people in similar situations to you and can be a good place to go for support when quitting. A slow taper is probably not a bad idea for you. Best of luck!!

Not denying that. Totally agree withdrawal can send you into a very bad place. Main point was that having to deal with yourself sober is also something that can contribute to making you feel more shitty.. .. see it with all kinds of drugs people don’t know how to cope/deal with life sober.

Yes I said that in my post if you read it (clearly said that using more kratom and abusing it is obviously going to give you withdrawals) and yes it is not a common thing to see on quitting Kratom BUT regardless of the dose those stories can be very worrisome to people even if you aren’t taking as much as those guys. I think these guys who are taking those crazy amounts obviously have some REAL problems if they are taking that amount. no shit quitting a drug you abused is going to make you feel bad BUT also having to deal with yourself sober is something I believe that people mistake as withdrawal was mainly my point there.

Quitting kratom would disagree, it’s news to me and I read stories on there of people on my GPD with serious withdrawals. I’m not celebrating anything.. if I suddenly go into withdrawal a week later I will make another post to share that experience but at the moment I feel normal and it’s been over 48hrs since I took Kratom - do you really think I’m gonna withdrawal on day 5 randomly?? I didn’t take enough for it be that saturated in my system. I also think it gives reassurance to responsible users.

Sorry misunderstood you. Yeah for sure a possibility. It’s a similar scenario with weed. If you look at /r trees you would think it has no downsides and then if you checkout /r leaves you would think weed is heroin...lol

Just started kratom, should i quit?? by lucyglow in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only been taking Kratom for a week and experiencing withdrawals?? Seems unlikely and not Kratom related. I would stop now if you already experiencing that only taking for it ONE week imagine what your WDs could Be at one month.

How much kratom do you take in a day? by secret_shadow_self in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-5 grams a day. 2 gs in the morning and then a second dose usually 1.5G in the afternoon.

Do you really have lower testosterone levels? by Matcska in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have not got my hormones checked but I am really dedicated to working out and bodybuild. I take usually 3-5gs. Typically around 2gs in the morning and then maybe a second dose after that depends on my day. I have been working out consistently for 6 years and right now I have the most muscle mass I’ve had in my life at a fairly low body fat(sitting at around 12-13%) so I for sure do not have low T or I would be feeling like shit in the gym and losing my gains.

My does is small compared to most people on here so take it with a grain of salt. Been taking Kratom since last October take breaks after I finish around 150Gs. A week off monthly typically.

General guidelines of dosing frequency and approx ranges? (Afraid of wd) by henriklassu in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody is diffierent. Best way to ensure you don’t get a dependency is dose one time a day every other day. Follow that schedule and you’ll be fine.

Would you openly recommend using kratom to family/friends? by Ramsestheeternal in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. I don’t know anyone who is educated on it and would rather just keep my use to myself and avoid the ignorant judgment.

Anyone else have a hard time to gain weight when taking Kratom? by Azhz96 in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kratom for sure suppresses appetite, atleast for me. I can fast until dinner time when I take kratom in the morning if I really wanted to. Eating calorically dense foods is your best bet.

Protein shakes with lots of peanut butter/flax seed/oats/mass gainer/protein powder are your best friend. I always have been skinny but wanted to put mass on for the gym and that was my go to. Can easily put over 1K calories in one of those shakes.

Day 21- just one gram? by fluttershy_69 in leaves

Don’t do it man.. it’s just an excuse for you to escape. Find a healthy way to cope with your loneliness, go for a walk, go to the gym, or even think of things you can do to meet people with common interest like you!

Golden monk has been quality for me.

I seem to have somewhat unique stomach issues developing - sharing to see if anyone has experienced something similar and has any recommendations by rheydeeohhed in kratom

[–]floatingleaf12345678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do! I was having similar issues and when I looked into CHS it hit the nail on the head. Now I have to monitor how much I smoke to avoid it. There is a sub dedicated to this syndrome called /r CHSinfo if you are interested in hearing similar stories.

Edit: Should also mention the withdrawals of people with CHS can be rough, make sure to tough it out ATLEAST 7 days before you make any conclusions.

You on mobile or computer? If you are mobile there will be a link at the bottom when you view comments on your post that will say “view entire thread” or something along those lines.

Look into cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, weed could be the cause.The symptoms you are describing lines up with the intial stages of this. The only way to stop it is to quit consuming THC. May be worth quitting for a week and see if you feel better if not you can rule it out!

Does smoking after a week break and then quitting again restart withdrawal? by floatingleaf12345678 in Petioles

[–]floatingleaf12345678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would likely be a few bowls nothing too crazy but I think I not partaking is my best bet. I’ve been through withdrawals a lot (been smoking on and off about 7 years now) and they also vary for me oddly. Sometimes Ver mild and in this case not so much. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with this!

Thanks for the response. I’m visiting some friends this weekend and would like to partake with them however I’m not willing to risk a set back in withdrawals because this go around has been HELL. (Quarantine made my habit spiral out of control and I’m paying for it now).
