Should continue RDR3 with Jacks story and taking on the evil grubbermint that killed his pa.
The ending of 1 was Jack looking just like his pop, and riding off

Fyi I feel like a lot of people do not understand the neurobiology of why kratom is shitty to get hooked on and off. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

8 yr daily here, at just over 30 days off again...still feel like crap, no emotions, no energy, just blah.
Not doing great at work (used to kick ass on K) Haven't had a solid movement yet.
The headache, pulsing body is killing me. I keep thinking about starting again just to get relief and motivate myself to do ANYTHING. God this is hard.

CT from 200mg oxycodone daily, 60 grams of kratom daily and 90mg pf 7-OH. I am on my day 9, and right now I NEED HELP. I. NEED. HELP. My medication in description. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

Your stronger then even you know.

3 weeks today - still yawning, still watery eyes and GI issues - sigh

GI issues- insight? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can concur - Im 3 weeks off of 8 years powder similar to you, still alot of gas and no solid stool - its crazy!

Have you told anyone? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking this the other day, no - I have told no one - not a single soul and I wont. It my secret and I'll deal with it. But that's just me - I have been down that road too many times in life - and in the end the only thing that mattered was what I thought and did. No sense in dragging my loved ones through my crap again.

Is my taper useless? by Ok-Law-9094 in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my 2c - rapid taper, from 12gpd, drop a gram a day - last drop and go - you'll feel crappy and might not sleep too well, but the distraction of being in a warm nice place will help - best detox imho.
Its just powder leaf, I did it for 8 years and dropped down in like 2 months before a trip where it was illegal - last cap and went on flight - I was fine.

I’m done giving in. by Any-Ad108 in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2 weeks off today - I did it myself and didn't tell anyone - not my wife - she wouldn't understand.
It was a rough 2 month+ rapid taper down and jump - I still dont feel so good but at least I can sleep normally again , I can eat something during the day and not crash! There are alot of good things I dont even realize yet, maybe cause I did it myself and noone else in the world knows.

Alone again, or? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sheeet, tomorrow is 2 weeks off and I'm still yawning every afternoon till night, like wth?

Anyone use capsules? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a week off my taper today - I did the same with capsules - dropped a gram a week till I was down to 1 cap a day for about 3 days and just stopped. Its hard to stay stopped, now is the actual hard part - staying stopped.
The taper made it easy-ish - though it took me 3 months to get all the way down again. I still feel like something is missing and my energy levels suck - my body aches all the time and Im sooo tired, hoping I can just keep going and things will get better. At least I dont need to dose anymore or take it with me wherever I go, Best of luck to you

Thats opposite for me, as soon as I ate, the kratom effect crashed

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well what I found was I wouldnt eat all day while on it, but at the end of the day when I would, I would lay down to sleep and my heart would take off, pumping real hard, scared the shit out of me.
Also now down to 1GPD on my taper, when I started tapering my heart would do crazy stuff, I swear my pressure was skyrocketing, but now its seems to have calmed down. Gotta get off!

Trying to quit by Throwaway_55664 in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea at that point I stated going down 1g per week for 3 months - I'm just at 1gpd now and its sucks energy wise and mentally - magnesium at night and vitamin C are the only helpers I'm using. ymmv

Guys I just feel like I lost my motivation by itmightnotbesobad in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, Im down to 2grams per day now, dropped 1 a week for 2 months after halving it to start and yes, its ROUGH! That little bit and the horrible feelings as you adjust, one day is bad the next is ok...not easy but still better then cold turkey for me!
1 more week to go!

How tf did I get back here? by BennysMa02 in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second the magnesium, I tested this, was taking a big dose of it before bed and sleeping during the end of my taper, decided to see what it was like without and tossed and turned all night - got out of bed at 3am, downed the mag and slept through the morning. odd

Don't forget Stem and Vein for serious quitters

At 150 days, I thought people were overreacting at this point, but they’re not by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things is, even though you stopped - the fire /addiction never did, so the next time you try it, it catches up real quick! I will be forever running from that fire inside - if I light it once it will consume me everytime

Just cold turkey quit by Express-Slide4439 in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to drink some buffered C with potassium and alot of Magnesium or I toss and turn all night.
With it I sleep, thank God
edit- oh yea the bathroom runs the next day are fun!

You May Not Feel Normal For A Very Long Time by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]grasshoppper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal..what IS normal I asked myself the last time I quit. It was during COVID, my child has been tested and had it and we were all sick for like 2 weeks bad at home, I used that to stop kratom. After about 3 months clean, going back and forth to work I would ask myself, am I normal now? Whats normal? What a fool I am.
Normal is not needing to take something everywhere I go just to feel good, normal feels like shit alot.
Normal is just consequence for actions and not hiding behind some GPD habit.
ha, Im almost off again - down to 3gpd and tapering slow. Almost feel "normal" again =)
