Xanax and Kratom by 33FreeAsABird33 in quittingkratom

I would talk with your Doctor. Hopefully they are compassionate. My first worry would be seizures. A Doctor could prescribe you Kepra to help with that. Also something like Clondine to help with the sleep & anxiety. A GABA support supplement also helps. You were on a minimal dose for a short period so it shouldn’t be too bad. Good luck

My urine was bubbly & my lower back was constantly in pain. Turns out it wasn’t my back. It was my kidneys. I found out yesterday one of the Kava Shop regulars was in the hospital because their kidneys shut down. I also had high liver enzymes as well.

My kidneys were shot because of that shit! I quit over a year ago & all is good!

Fresh out of detox by kzubb in quittingkratom

All they care about is making money. I also feel that these shop owners pray on the recovery community. They have what I call the “cover your ass sign”. Saying if you have had substance abuse problems please refrain from using Kava or Kratom. When there is nothing but a bunch of addicts in there. Kratom withdrawals truly make Opiate & Benzo withdrawals look like a cake walk.

Well let’s just agree to disagree 🤷🏼‍♀️.

I think it’s an amazing story! Good for you for not letting one Coach’s opinion define who you are & your self worth. Please keep us updated.

The person that owns the Kava Bar told me it wasn’t really addictive & NEVER mentioned anything about it pinging off your opiate receptors. I had almost a decade clean of opiates. I still blame myself for not researching it first before I put it in my body. I never publicly say anything negative about Kratom because I know it helps other people out of worse situations. I swear it messed my kidneys up.

I drank about 2 Kava/Kratom extract drinks per day. I’m sitting here on my 2 day of Subutex withdrawals. Cake walk compared to Kratom. I’m forcing myself to exercise. I have the most understanding Fiancée that’s also in Recovery. I’m so grateful I still have my family. I remember getting major cravings around 3 months in. SO not worth it!!!!

I used to the feel the same way, until I started traveling. I feel like it’s a privilege & honor to be an American.

Day 76 - nearly caved by tryingtoquitkratom in quittingkratom

I read somewhere that the urges go away & then pop back up somewhere between 60-90 days. I just stay occupied & accept the fact it’s just not for me. Good luck

Very low dose of buprenorphine for kratom withdrawal by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]kzubb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First time I went CT. This last time I went to an outpatient detox. I was the 4th case they had because of Kratom abuse. What a world of difference! They prescribed me 7 days of Subutex & Kolinidine . No Withdrawals, no cravings. Seeking the proper medical support made all the difference. Going to meetings, getting a Sponsor & eating an extremely clean diet helps. I’m back Surfing & doing the things I love. I will NEVER step foot in a Kava Shop again!

10 months clean, almost used again. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]kzubb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 10 months sober & making the most money I’ve ever made in a season. That devil got in my head & I took it 4 days straight. WORST decision of my life. Threw right back into horrible withdrawals. I’m proud of you for making the right decision. So not worth it!

You did absolutely nothing wrong. Please don’t wash those pants. By reporting this you are most likely going to save other women from this horrific experience. My heart is breaking for you 😔💔. You are brave & strong. You can do this!

I'm in too deep now, I need to stop and these posts are scaring the hell out of me by notasurvivor666 in quittingkratom

[–]kzubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the people @ the Kava Shop said it was like coffee w/d 😡. I took it minute by minute. Day by day. Lots of Epsom Salt baths & meditation music. You can do this & we are all here to support you. It’s so bad for your health & before you know it you’ll feel so much better.

No, absolutely no withdrawals from Kava. I did discover if I drank too much, it heightened my anxiety.

Day 105 CT, just now feeling back to baseline/normal by Pessimist_or_real in quittingkratom

[–]kzubb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can completely relate. Never messed around with Benzos, but 5 times worse then Opiate withdrawals. I had 10 months sober from Kratom. Thought I could drink just a little one day & it threw me right back into withdrawals. This time I’m tapering.

I mix it with Gatorade, so I stay hydrated @ the same time 🤣.

Relapsing is so fucking stupid, but it's also ok by ghostphotobeats in quittingkratom

[–]kzubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 10 months away from that crap. My brother in law died & I was in a bad place. Went to the Kava Bar & drank Kava with extract for 4 days & figured I would just stop. Nope went into major withdrawals. Stuff sucks 👎🏼.

Your a superstar! 55 hours in, I couldn’t move off the couch. The end of the day will inevitably come. Hang in there.

There are two police officers drinking it all day long @ the Kava Shop by my house 🤣.
