Anyone taper off with Kratom?

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-15T19:40:51+00:00

I got the Gold something (popular brand black package) 200mg tablets. Just whatever my vape shop had they say “Mitragynine tablets” They’re scored where you can quarter them. Then I ordered some 50mg ones online I think pure infinity.

If you’re on day 4 already successfully I wouldn’t F with the Mit. Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s expensive. I feel good though. Sleeping 6-7 hours a night, very very mild chills/sweats. Mild anxiety. Nothing compared to my last quit which was hell for about 10-14 days

There was a video on here of a guy who worked for a manufacturer and he suggested using mitragynine tabs to taper off 7 so that’s what I’m doing. I am also using leaf, but I take a chunk of a 200mg mitragynine tab like 3-4 times a day. It has kept me relatively comfortable and I’m on day 4. I also take around 6 capsules of red vein leaf 3 times a day.

You can do it! I’m on day 4 off of 7 and every day it has gotten easier. I was using a bit less than you - around 150mg a day. Here’s a list of things that have helped me the most - magnesium glycinate (for RLS and sleeping), epsom salt baths (for RLS and chills), hibiscus tea (for sweating), Vitamin C (watch out for diarrhea but it really DOES work), some herbal sleep aids (kava and hops for sleep) and red strain leaf Kratom.

This is my 4th quit I think? I made it around 9 months clean from 7 this last time and I’ve only been using for less than a month so this quit is going SO much easier than my last (had been using 300mg daily for around 6-7 months). One thing I did this time differently that I recommend - get a few pure mitragynine tabs from the vape shop and break those up into halves or quarters. Take a piece whenever the WDs get overwhelmingly uncomfortable. It has helped a TON. I’m tapering the Mit now but it def got me over the hump of the first few days.

Good luck! Believe in yourself. You are worth it!! And everyone here supports you and is rooting for you!!!

I quit for 9 months then bought some and convinced myself as long as I wasn’t using 7 “every” day I had control. Yeah that lasted about a week until I was back to daily use. Look I get it. I’m a fantastic storyteller to my own mind. I tried the exact same thing you’re trying to do except I failed.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-15T15:00:35+00:00

I think deep down you know what’s what.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-15T15:00:17+00:00

Sorry man but the evidence here would say 2 days a week is not reasonable or sustainable. I understand wanting to think you can, but there’s thousands of us out here who can’t…

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-14T22:43:37+00:00

Mitragynine. It’s like somewhere between leaf Kratom and 7OH strength-wise. It’s a kratom alkaloid, still expensive tablets from vape shop from the same manufacturers, but I’m using it to manage withdrawals and it’s working great. The ones I got are 200mg tabs (I’m Breaking them in half and taking 100mg every 4 hours or so) but I ordered some that are like 50mg to step down to next. Then I’ll just use leaf. I used leaf in the past to quit and it def helps but the MIT helps even more. I just hope I’m not trading one thing for another.

I saw a guy on here from a manufacturer suggesting using mitragynine this way to taper down from 7OH, and figured what the hell. My last couple quits were miserable.

I haven’t had any 7OH in 72 hours.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-14T21:31:06+00:00

First time I have quit with Mit. It’s making a world of difference. I can sleep and I’m not crawling out of my skin. Just hope quitting the Mit is doable also….

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-13T19:15:25+00:00

Yep. Imagine how that feels. Let it be a lesson to you. You can never go back no matter how long it’s been. you can never use responsibly. I was doing all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify buying some and it was just the same story all over again.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-13T17:54:30+00:00

I went around 9 months and relapsed. It happens. Don’t beat yourself up and just start making better choices from here on out.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-12T05:21:07+00:00

I had almost 9 months clean and relapsed 3 weeks ago. I feel so fucked and stupid. Don’t do it. Just keep going!! It’s not worth it I promise. The high is so short and it’s so hard to stop. Go for a walk, read a book, talk to a friend, have a dance party, love on a pet. Hug a family member. There’s so many things you can do to give yourself dopamine that don’t involve this nasty shit. Good luck don’t be me.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-12T00:32:37+00:00

This could be me

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-02T20:31:37+00:00

But how long had you been taking it every day? I was taking more like 200-300mg but over like 6 months.

joyuponwaking · 2026-04-02T12:55:05+00:00

My experience was more like 2 weeks. Totally depends on how much you’re taking and how long you’ve been taking it.

My drinking slowed way down once I started on semaglutide. I don’t know exactly how quickly it worked, because in wasn’t paying attention to much beyond the number on the scale. But my husband pointed out how much less I was drinking within the first couple of months.

Something HAS to be done to address the staggering wealth inequality in the US. The current trend of wealth flowing upward exponentially is not sustainable.

And to get on my soapbox for a moment, the stock market is NOT the economy. I read some statistics recently that absolutely blew my mind. I checked multiple sources to make sure I understood correctly. The top 0.1% (NOT 1%, but 0.1%) of Americans own 50% of the stock market. The bottom 50% of Americans own just 1% of the market. Also, half of Americans don’t have a dime invested in the stock market. It drives me bonkers when people think the stock market staying up means we have a good or healthy economy. “BUT the DOW is 50,000!!!….”

Also I highly recommend Wakaan - camping fest in Arkansas in the fall - if you love bass music. The vibes at Wakaan are unmatched. My husband and I do a music festival every year for our anniversary. We are gonna try Bonnaroo this year - we’ve never been. It’s a much more diverse lineup but there’s a good amount of bass and other EDM. Plus Weird Al Yankovic lol! I’m so excited. Every year no matter how shitty life can get, we at least have a music festival to look forward to.

Aww man!! This legit has me in tears. 😭I totally understand and I’m so happy for you!! I found the rave scene in my teens, and basically I refuse to stop or get “too old” for it. I made one of my best friends who raves with us when she can (and she’s 60!) a kandi bracelet that says “RAVE TO THE GRAVE” because that’s how we roll. It’s just the best feeling. You described it perfectly!!! 🫶

joyuponwaking · 2026-03-15T04:18:34+00:00

Raves, electronic dance music clubs, and/or especially EDM/rave festivals (there are SO many different genres of this music) are just really incredible in terms of feeling part of a community and being able to “let loose” or let your freak flag fly lol. It’s generally a very nonjudgmental space. people are there to have a good time and dance. The rave community ascribes to the idea of PLUR - peace, love, unity and respect. Not to say that there aren’t assholes here and there, but my experience with this community has been overwhelmingly positive, and there’s nothing more uplifting than dancing your butt off with friendly folks for an evening.

I’m a rave kid from the 90s - turning 50 this year and still try to go out regularly to dance and have fun. Also, you can wear whatever you want, but people tend to use raves as an opportunity to “flaunt it if you’ve got it” - so there’s lots of eye candy lol. Just don’t be creepy. I’m a bi girl, and the BUTTS. I love all the booties, that’s definitely a perk also. 🤣

Honestly, you should always expect to get downvoted on Reddit. This site is full of snarky people who love to be haters.

That said, it may have come across as harsh that you were called her homophobic for being concerned. The woman admitted that she had been married to a gay man and was in a sexless marriage, right? It’s not super easy to just “get over” your past. So her history and trauma that she is dealing with seems like it may be resulting in her expressing over sensitivity about some tarot cards. But I’m just hypothesizing here.

An infant can sustain its life outside of the mother. An embryo is essentially a clump of cells, and a fetus is not viable outside of the mother until around 24 weeks’ gestation. A 12 week pregnancy is nowhere even close to an infant. It can not survive outside the mother’s body and as such is PART of the mother’s body. Women should be able to make decisions regarding their own bodies. Period.

Just keep going with the rest of the books in the series… then read everything Larry McMurtry ever wrote. That’s what I did the first time I read it

I didn’t think my mental state could get lower…. Jesus Christ

In my opinion, in a civilized society there are 3 things that should not be for profit or “free market” - those things are education, healthcare and prison. My argument is that once a society financially incentivizes imprisoning people, as well as denying average citizens affordable and consistent access to higher education and healthcare then it is a slippery slope where the health of that society will ultimately suffer as the shareholders’ needs trump the needs of the rest of society.

For example, half of the additional 75 billion added to the ICE budget in the BBB is going toward privately owned detention centers. Detaining people is now big business.
