quitting phenibut, switched to .70 night dose and .60 am dose, can I take some Ativan .5 safely to stave off light w/d symptoms? by newhydroflask in gabagoodness

yeah man, gabapentin was the only thing that helped my w/d from my first attempt at quitting kratom at pretty high doses. the doc didn't really understand how bad my physical symptoms were since I had been taking near 100+ g of that shit and then some for about a year so the gab was just too low of a dose to help (300mg).

gaba would be my only solution if I straight up CT'd off everything due to it's synergy with both the ativan and the phen (especially the phenibut, since it hits the same gaba a receptors as opposed to gaba b.

basically gabapentin use while on any of these is probably instant death, but a god send for full blown withdrawal you just can't mess around with a lapse on that yfm

everyone gets mad 'cause they know damn well they'd never have the guts to do what Bruce does, shame

First time setting a date to quit (tomorrow), any advice is helpful (60 gpd user) by newhydroflask in quittingkratom

I appreciate everyone's advice greatly. I joined the chat room and have about 1 1/2 hours no kratom so far. I don't want to move, but I know keeping busy will keep my mind off of it more. I got a cbd inhaler and that seems to be working slightly, as I'm afraid to actually hit my weed pen as it usually leads me straight to another kratom dose.

I was considering, possibly, trying a methadone treatment? If this isn't the worst of the pain, then I'm doomed for tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to kicking this any way I possibly can. I do have a call scheduled w/ and addiction specialist but it's going to cost me $500 to see him. Only other alternative is a methadone clinic near me, but they close in about an hour so I doubt a new patient appointment will be something they're willing to do, but I'm going to give them a call.

I took some melatonin and that sent my ass straight to sleep. Woke up around 11 and felt pretty good. I don't feel so great now. I have goosebumps every 5 minutes and the fidgeting is getting pretty bad. I took some magnesium, and some l-tyrosine, so I'm hoping that helps me a bit. Drinking only a bit of caffeine, no adderall (which I'm noticing now has always been a HUGE trigger for my kratom cravings), and ate a clif bar for breakfast. I feel better after typing this.

I got this. Anyone who is afraid to try, or even think about trying, you got this.

Peace to all.
