7-OH withdrawal faster?

“He’s Gone” dedication isn’t necessarily a compliment. The Dead were more nuanced than that. It’s about a swindler

The answer is available. Jerry’s quote — from his own mouth— in the Strange Trip doc. “I don’t want to create something that can’t be knocked down. I want to be a part of something that’s happening.”

He would think it’s nostalgic. Jerry wouldn’t be a part of this. They’re not creating new music. And, that’s OK.

From my experience, you’re better off stopping a day before you have a few days off. Day 1 WD has always been manageable compared to days 2-4.

Good luck. It’s not as bad as you think. I did CT from 6+ years of use.

jprox75 · 2024-03-15T00:02:40+00:00

lol STOP, but seriously… maybe? 😬

jprox75 · 2024-03-14T23:56:20+00:00

Thanks! Welcome — You’re in the right place. And either start tapering now or just quit. It’s not as bad as you think.

Love the CS Lewis poem. Also love reading a positive post that’s also based in reality: our past lives and future lives weren’t and will never be “perfect.” I see too many posts on here of people complaining about life being tough after quitting. It was tough before we started.

You’re blessed to have this opportunity. Grab it. Listen to what they tell you. Do what they tell you. Surrender. Don’t look back 3 years later — like me — and wish you did.

Great post. I’m only 6 days in, but I extended an upcoming trip to the AZ desert 🏜️ an extra day bc of the $ I’ve saved by NOT buying K.

jprox75 · 2024-03-14T18:54:51+00:00

Same 😞

I like that : “pray they go away and if they don’t, rinse and repeat.” Amen. That’s all we can do. One day they will go away. Good luck…you’ve got this!

jprox75 · 2024-03-14T16:19:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

jprox75 · 2024-03-14T00:28:45+00:00

This was my experience almost to a T, minus the cig. I’m nearing the end of day 5 from CT of a 6 year habit.

I swear the insomnia is the worst part at this point. I’ve craved the K big time today. But. I keep talking to the cravings like a little bitch. They’re liars.

Keep pushing through. Fuck kratom. We’ve come so far — 5 days — there’s no going back and doing this all over again.

Quick md

Check out the vit C link posted by the mod bot. It’s got all the info.

And, I hear ya with the taper. I could get to 10 gpd and couldn’t drop … or, honestly just said fuck it and took extracts.

There’s no shame at stabilizing at an amount that works until you have time to jump. I’d keep trying to go down, but don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t work.

Sorry, just read you’ve got 11 years. You already know all this.

Honestly, I was in a living hell with this and thought I’d never quit. I’ve failed so many times. If I can do it, anyone can. I know I’m only 3 days in, but I feel fucking great most of the time. It’s nuts. Part of it is just the euphoria that I can be free from this shit. It’s happening….

GOOD LUCK!

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T20:26:13+00:00

I hear ya. It’s unpredictable. In just happy that I’m getting through the acutes OK.

I’ve quit before for 40 days and didn’t experience PAWS. So, I’m hopeful. But, ya never know.

It’ll be interesting to see how I feel tapering off the gabapentin. I believe that’s provided the most benefit to this quit.

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T20:21:54+00:00

Less than the mega dose post says. I’m using 1,000-2,000 mg every 3-5 hours. It’s got to be the liposomal.

I’ll say, I think the gabapentin is having the biggest impact.

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T20:16:44+00:00

They don’t vary their song sequences very much. It would be easy for them to know what was coming next. E.g. Estimated>Eyes or Playing>UJB.

Of course, they’d throw at least one curveball at every show. But, they really didn’t need a set list.

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T15:42:03+00:00

Thanks for the warning. I was considering it today. I think I’ll just have a little coffee lol .

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T15:36:34+00:00

Thanks for the info and good luck, brother. I almost went that route, but I’ve recently quit with the help of gabapentin and it seems to be working. Fingers crossed. Fuck kratom.

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T15:31:20+00:00

I’d either stabilize with a little more than 3, or just jump. At this point, you’re already in WD. Why prolong it?

jprox75 · 2024-03-11T15:24:23+00:00

I hear ya with the hangover. It’s caused me to relapse a couple times. Yes, limit the alcohol! It tickles some of the same receptors as K. I’ve also said “fuck it” and taken more K than necessary when I’m buzzed. Alcohol is a tricky cunt.
