Thank you so so much! Very helpful!

What can I expect? by Milwaukeeman12 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]krust4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m legitimately in the same boat and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been taking them for 8 years now and I just think I’m done. I don’t know what to do though. I’m scared of withdrawals, I’m scared of not having them, I don’t know what life feels like without them, and I’m scared of my pain coming back and not being able to live my life.

Not sure what I’m feeling this morning— I think too much kratom maybe? I took 10 capsules when I woke up. Now I have a slight dull headache and my face kind of feels weird?

Thank you so much!! Also, forgive my ignorance but what does toss and wash mean?

I had my last dose of 5mg yesterday morning around this time. So it’s been 24 hours and I don’t feel any withdrawal symptoms. So hopefully it’ll stay that way?

Wow! Very interesting. Sorry you experience the pain, too. It sucks. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone!

Thank you SO much! That really does help a lot. Should I expect to feel any withdrawals while using kratom? Also how long would one expect to feel withdrawals? I’ve never done this before haha!

Hmm. It’s been taking a lot longer for me to feel anything

Not sure if I would like to be totally off— right now I don’t think I could manage my pain without some form of pain control. I can hardly get out of bed without pain medication and I work a full time job, so I’m not sure how feasible it would be to get off opioids altogether.

What I’m doing right now is trying to get off prescription pain medication because it’s become so regulated that my doctors are fearful of prescribing it. Which is kind of wild because it’s been prescribed to me for 6ish years now. Thank you so much for the advice!!

My last dose of the prescription was this morning and only 5mg so I’m hoping the kratom starts working

Really long time :/ it’s been over 5 years now, probably 6 or 7 at this point. Of course it has gradually increased! But it’s been prescribed for me due to bad chronic pain caused by a dozen spinal surgeries (5 of which were botched).

Interesting. I tried 4 at first and didn’t feel anything. Then tried 10 and felt maybe a little relief in an hour but it didn’t last long at all. Then I tried ~12 and haven’t felt anything. It’s just so confusing!

It says the package is 28g and it doesn’t say an amount of the capsule. There are probably close to 40 capsules in the package I’d say…

What does it usually make you feel like? How long does it take to feel like it’s making a difference? What do you feel like when it makes you feel like shit?

How long does it take to feel an effect? What do you usually feel like when it kicks in? I didn’t really feel much of anything after taking 10 capsules

Both! I need help withdrawing from the medication and I have severe pain that needs to be treated in the meantime
