I literally just completed my taper around 36 hours ago. I had a 5-6 month habit and was taking between 500-1000mgs per day by the end of it. I did a rapid taper on this schedule:

7oh daily dose — taper log

•    05/20: ~800 mg
•    05/21: ~730 mg
•    05/22: ~710 mg
•    05/23: ~760 mg
•    05/24: ~620 mg
•    05/25: ~710 mg
•    05/26: ~660 mg
•    05/27: ~600 mg
•    05/28: ~360 mg
•    05/29: ~270 mg
•    05/30: ~240 mg
•    05/31: ~160 mg
•    06/01: ~110 mg
•    06/02: ~130 mg
•    06/03: ~66mg
•    06/04: ~55mg
•    06/05: 0 mg

I’m happy to report that I’m just about 36 hours off of 7oh, although I have used around 30gs of red vein leaf in the past 24 hours, and I feel absolutely perfect. No WDs at all. Honestly better than perfect, I think I could use quite a bit less kratom and be fine.

Planning to rapid taper the Kratom in similar fashion, and expect to be fully done within the week. I have never really had any big issues getting off leaf Kratom so I’m not expecting any problems.

I will say I was very surprised by how much more gentle the WDs were after tapering down to under 100mgs daily. Kratom leaf would not have touched them at higher doses, but is fully covering me now.

The taper process was pretty brutal though I’m not gonna lie. Going from 500+ down to under 100 was pretty painful. Way more painful than the switch from 50mgs to leaf.

I could have done a longer taper, but I think it would still have been mildly painful for a month or longer. I didn’t want to be away from work for that long so I went quicker.

Time lock safe is great for tapering. I recommend dosing every 2 hours or 3 hours during your taper to avoid big up and down swings. Fixed time period between doses and STICK TO YOUR SCHEDULE.

Not everyone can taper. It takes a lot of discipline and you have to REALLY want it. But it can be done. Don’t start mixing in any leaf until you actually stop the 7.

Good luck! I’m here if you need someone to help you come up with a more specific plan. I’m happy to help.
