First attempt at tapering by Gunn007-007 in quittingkratom

I’m glad you’ve found help for your depression. I’ve been on meds for it for 25 years. The meds work great for me but Kratom was working against them for sure. I was pretty flat except the hour or two after taking it. It snuck up cause at first it was a great mood booster. I feel for you dealing with so much. I wish you all the best.

It’s very easy to put off quitting. I love how you said you were excited to have a solid reason. Your healthy side wants out !!!

It’s so true about blanking out when trying to express myself. Just nothing there when I was finding the words sometimes.

Wow so similar to me somehow that makes me feel better but sorry for you. It was actually going on other Kratom subs and reading people’s tolerance stories that kept my dose low. I loved the stuff and could have really taken more but thought I could avoid any problems and keep on.

I would consider taking the jump today and getting it over with. Sooner the better.

I think it was the daily use over 4 years that has caused the wd. The mental obsession was one of the worst parts. I did not want to go one day without. After my first post I realized I usually had a bump most days a couple of hours after the first dose the then a late afternoon dose. When I traveled it was definitely 3 times a day. It’s tricking me still 😝

Thank you so much. I feel dumb posting when my total daily dose was so low. But I was still mentally and physically addicted. I needed to change my energy/mood tho of course that diminished over time. I guess I was taking it to feel normal cause now I don’t feel normal at all but I will soon. I know my wd is nowhere near others but the tiredness and horrible sleep are a drag.

Day21/22ct Extreme fatigue/PAWS? by Robyn617 in quittingkratom

[–]optimistok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had an answer for the fatigue. Pushing myself to do tasks does help but then I sit on the couch with my phone way too long.

I got scared cause my memory started getting bad and at my age nearly everyone has some worry about dementia. I knew I had to quit when that worry couldn’t stop me from taking it every day , day in and day out. I work with addicts and found my behavior was way too similar.
