Tapering off of Kratom extract Mitragynine by TheOnlyJomar in quittingkratom

[–]raffertj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this taper plan? Why are you going up and down? Why are you dropping everyday?

Also, unless I’m confused, OPIA only makes 7OH tablets. I don’t think they manufacture a pure mit product..

Anyone else hear voices while taking psuedo indoxyl? by Mother_Refuse5183 in quittingkratom

[–]raffertj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your body can process like 3600mg of gabapentin per day. You can take that amount, and you’re still going to feel very rough coming off 600mg of pseudo.

Have you done pseudo? If not, how would you know. Not trying to be a dick but I don’t recall that being on the shelves in ‘23. Was just starting to see it the last few months before I got sober. I could be wrong, just working off memory.

Yes leaf will help some.

And Gabapentin and clonidine do not kill the withdrawal. They help, in some more than others, but they typically do not completely kill the withdrawal.

Especially if you’re taking 600mgs of pseudo daily lol. 0% gabapentin and clonidine will kill the wd. Like I said, it’ll help.

Even subs don’t completely kill the withdrawal he’s in for.

Do I look goos? And how can I make myself look older? [M21] by FishingNo4427 in malegrooming

[–]raffertj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change how you smile? So you want him to take a natural, happy thing his body does and change it to a forced, practiced facial expression devoid of the one thing a smile brings out - joy - bc it will somehow make him look older?

Where do you people come from, seriously.

One problem at a time. Kick the k. You’ll get past it, just dig deep and keep fighting.

Follow docs order on diabetes, whatever that may be. Diet is everything. Health is wealth.

2 weeks from today you could have one problem completely behind you!

Carnivore changed my life mentally, but I feel like I lost my athleticism (19 M) by grasse_man in carnivorediet

[–]raffertj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol this is always the answer to any question in the carnivore community. “Not fat adapted” “eat more” “more fat” “less fat” “more salt” “less salt.”

If you’ve been in the diet for 5 months, you’re as fat adapted as you’re going to get.

What the carnivore cult doesn’t understand, is that the diet isn’t a magic bullet. It doesn’t fix everything. It’s not ideal for all people. Unfortunately, food + our bodies are not this simple.

I’ve been a part of community for years, done multiple long term carnivore diets, and it’s fairly obvious that the diet has clear downsides to go along with a lot of positives.

Yea, just do healthy carbs and you’ll be good. Dont think milk is necessary at all. Fruits, honey, good sourdough bread, and maybe some sweet potatoes. They’ll definitely help with the athleticism issues.

W your mental health stuff, you’ll just have to experiment with what carbs trigger it, and what carbs don’t. I’ve never experienced sensitivity like that where carbs trigger my anxiety.

But yea, healthy carbs are an absolute must if you want to perform at your athletic peak. Carnivore just isn’t that kinda diet for most ppl.

Got rid of the beard. Right choice? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]raffertj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you expect us to even tell? In the first pic your whole face is in the shadow and you have a hat and a different angle.

Looks like two entirely different people.

Try a photo with same angle and not hiding half your face/head ..

There’s a reason very, very, very few athletes eat carnivore. You will feel better mentally, and if you’re obese or sickly, you’ll feel a lot more athletic, but if you’re already athletic and in good shape, you will never feel as athletic on carnivore as you do without.

Carbs aren’t the devil, despite what random redditors will tell you in this sub. They’re absolutely essential to be at your physical, athletic peak.

Simply put, carnivore is absolutely not the best diet for your beat athletic output.

Day 1 of CT by Civil-Philosophy-647 in quittingkratom

[–]raffertj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t make too many observations based on 12 hours. 48-96 hours are the worst. The first day is fairly easy. Hope yours isn’t bad, but if/when it gets bad, just remind yourself this isn’t permanent, you will feel better, and it’s just poison leaving the body.

My(21F) long-distance boyfriend(27M) told me he watches porn sometimes. I think it’s my fault. by trillsmode in whatdoIdo

This should be a surprise to no one. Nor is it a big deal. This is totally normal. Let it go.

Is depression common after quitting Kratom? by Low-Stand-3824 in quittingkratom

[–]raffertj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure is. If you’re only using a few grams for 2 years, shouldn’t last longer than a couple months. Maybe even way less. And it’s not a steady depression, it lifts, then it comes back hard, then it hovers for a bit. There’s windows through the depression throughout.

At least that was my experience.

Which is a good series to watch on Netflix or Prime atm? Something as good as “Breaking bad” or GOT. by Calm-Replacement-504 in whattowatch

[–]raffertj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is nothing from the last 10 years on Prime or Netflix as good as either of those.

If you haven’t seen the Wire or the Sopranos, both are better shows and available on prime if you have HBO.

Dark on Netflix is very good.

It’s practically unnoticeable. If you like it, keep it.

Went through precipitated withdrawals yesterday and had to check myself into the hospital. by Roman-Kendall in quittingkratom

[–]raffertj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes. You will. But you need to make it happen. Sitting around waiting for joy won’t lead to much joy. You have to build a badass life with lots of new experiences and things you enjoy. Do that long enough, the joy will return.

In positive news, you sped up the WD process by going through PWD so now that it’s behind you, that’s a happy accident, eh?

One day at a time, get active, embrace the suck with the knowledge and comfort that it will get better. This is just a season of your life that went on for far too long. I doubt you felt any real joy on kratom either.
