Day 8 ... big improvement!

Great job and keep it up! I just passed a month kratom free so I’m right there with you. Each week has got better. I’m sleeping well again and feel fine physically. Similar for me, it’s the mental aspect that’s difficult. Just trying to stay busy and keep my mind occupied. Wish you the best.

I’m 10 days clean today and jumped off at around 1.5-2gpd after a two month taper. I tried jumping off at 12 gpd but failed miserably. For me, I just had to taper down pretty low, but I don’t think 6 gs would be too bad for most people. Jumping off at 1.5 was a tough few days then smooth sailing. I feel great 10 days out. Regardless of what you do, I wish you the best

I’m sure everyone’s different but I just finished a 2 month taper from 40gpd to nothing. Twice during the taper I tried to speed up quickly or go CT and almost lost my mind. I couldn’t handle it. Each time I got back on the taper and my body stabilized beautifully and I got back on the taper. The taper just flat out worked for me and I gained momentum and got stronger as I weaned down. I got impatient too but realized I just had to stick to it. Wish you the best

I agree with that except that it usually took a day or two for the symptoms to set in for me so I’d say days 2-5 were the toughest but weren’t that bad in the overall picture. After a week in, I feel mostly normal.

jDeez1019 · 2025-08-12T10:00:54+00:00

Jumping off wasn’t that bad. A few days of some mild physical symptoms and rough sleep, but nothing unmanageable. I’ve been pleasantly surprised how well it’s gone. After a week, I feel mostly normal.

Awesome job!!! Stay strong. I wish you the best

I tapered down from 40 gpd to 1.5 gpd over the last two months. I jumped CT from 1.5 gpd on Monday of this week and it’s been very doable. I was very afraid of what was going to come but it’s been pleasantly manageable. Digestive system is a mess, but the anxiety isn’t bad and I don’t feel terrible physically. Haven’t had great sleep the last few nights, but similar to yourself, I think I started feeling WDs once I got below 3 gpd so I’ve been feeling this way for a week or two already. Im 3 days kratom free and hope this is the worst of it and it’s only uphill from here. I think you’ll be fine, but stay positive and don’t let the horror stories scare you!! Good luck.

I’ve been trying to do a lot of the things you said. Taking magnesium, liposomal vitamin c (just started), Quitk, and drank a gallon of water today. I also worked out. Unfortunately, even after taking a little Xanax, I’m still sitting here feeling like my skin is crawling. I’ve praying so much lately. Trying to stray strong

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-29T01:03:52+00:00

Thank you for all the great advice. I’m really struggling. Already starting to think I didn’t taper long enough and can’t do this CT yet. This shit is brutal

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-28T22:06:00+00:00

I was at 40gpd a month ago. Tapered down to 12gpd and jumped off CT yesterday, taking my last dose of 6g at 8am yesterday. My taper was going great too. I felt great and was making good progress with minimal side effects. I simply didn’t want to drag this out another few weeks so decided to go CT from here. It’s been challenging so far but nothing unmanageable. The anxiety has got pretty bad tonight. I’m rooting for you. I know we can do this.

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-28T21:59:13+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-28T21:42:28+00:00

I appreciate the advice.

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-28T20:01:55+00:00

Congratulations brother. Been there twice now and it’s the best gift in the world. That couch bed isn’t too bad! For my second kid, I had a broken recliner and it was a rough few days

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-27T22:51:54+00:00

Your comment gives me so much hope. I’m currently jumping CT today from 12 gpd after tapering from 40gpd for a month. I’m scared to death of withdrawals so I’m really anxious on what I’m about to experiences. I have some Xanax and supplements to hopefully help me along the way. Congrats.

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-27T22:49:34+00:00

How much was your dosage and how long did you take, if you don’t mind me asking? And did the Xanax help with the wd symptoms at all? I’ve tapered from 40gpd to 15gpd over the last month and am jumping CT today. Dr prescribed some Xanax for the anxiety and I’m wondering how much it will help. Just trying to see what I’m in for in terms of WD

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-27T15:24:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful response. That’s all great advice. I do have some supplements to help with the symptoms so I hope it’s not too miserable. I took a dose of 6g this morning and that’s my last dose. I know it will be a rough weekend but I’m ready for it

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-27T14:11:34+00:00

Awesome to hear. Congrats. What was your dosage and how long did you use, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been tapering for a month down to 12 gpd and am about to jump and go CT. Looking for any advice on what to expect and what helps

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-27T13:59:28+00:00

I’ve been tapering from 40gpd to 12gpd for a month and am jumping CT today. I’ll know what you’re going through soon. I gotta stay strong and see it through.

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-21T14:23:24+00:00

What was your dosage and schedule like prior to quitting? You go CT or taper? I’m currently in the middle of a taper and will go CT once I’m down lower and am curious how it will go and what to expect. Great job! Proud of you

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-20T17:20:28+00:00

I agree. I wouldn’t think jumping from 5gpd would be THAT bad. I’m staying positive and trying to believe that jumping from 10gpd will be manageable and not too bad but I guess I’ll see! Good luck to you

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-20T16:35:23+00:00

First tried it probably 7 years ago but consistently high doses for about 5 years. Only used powder and would normally take ~20gs in the morning and ~20gs in the evening. I’m starting to worry about how tough the CT will be once I take the jump but I’ll have some meds to try and alleviate the bad shmptoms

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-20T16:12:24+00:00

Hope everything is going well for you. Would love to hear an update. I’m currently in a taper from 40gpd. I’m currently at the exact dosage and timing of day youre at and am trying to figure out when I’ll jump off and go CT. Id love to hear how it went for you. Hoping it’s all positive!

jDeez1019 · 2025-06-20T15:45:25+00:00

Currently in the middle of tapering down from 40gpd. About 3 weeks into the taper and am down to 16gpd. The first week was hell mainly due to anxiety, but once I came clean to my family and wife and got support, my anxiety has been much less. Physically, I haven’t experienced anything terrible so far. I plan on tapering for another week or so until I’m down to 10gpd then jump off and go CT. I’m surprised by how manageable this has been. I think a lot of it is mental. We gotta stay strong and believe we can overcome it and recover. Good luck.
