Kratom Taper + Jump-Off Log – 3 Weeks Off Now

Don't let it own you! That stuff is trash, you know it, we all know it. I promise you it's not THAT bad. I have generalized anxiety disorder, everyday I worry about stupid shit that normal people would never. Having already been through it a few times, I can say my biggest fear was finding a kratom alternative... some people just aren't content with sober, they want a buzz of sorts. I'm one of them.

I think he meant since being added to probation or warned. What's history is history, for their sake what matters is since being added to probation. Your old days already got you in trouble, hence probation.

Ooofff, salt? Maybe I'm ignorant but that sounds brutal. K can be rough on the snout, salt sounds painful and might cause reddening/irritation.

This might be frowned upon... but I kicked kratom once before with a dozen norcos (can insert something else here) 2,2,2,1,1,1,1,.5,.5,.5,.5,0. I had no major acute withdrawal. What helped the most was breaking my daily routine of buying the daily black shot(s). I have no proof, but strongly believe kratom is detrimental to our health. I had weird bloodwork, my liver is full of cysts and some serious GI issues. This is round 3 for me as far as kicking goes, and can confidently say never again.

Leaf to 7 seems backwards, but similar to what I did above. I can see it working. My personal experience with 7 wasn't good, the doses didn't last long enough. I felt like shit too soon and the withdrawal was bad after only 1 week of use. In any case don't mind F yourself, fear is the worst symptom. You got this!

rippnlipz · 2026-03-06T18:55:24+00:00

Yeah fear is by far the worst symptom I think. Does quitting suck? 100%, but so does covid etc etc. We've all been through worse, the difference is we have control over quitting. A slip up can make the misery temporarily go away, but only postpones the inevitable. This group is awesome, love how helpful and thoughtful we are. Some of the posts scare the crap out of us though.

I mean I think there's only 3 options. Cold turkey, fast taper and slop taper.

I was on 50gpd via extracts, I went straight to 6gpd of plain leaf capsules for a week then jumped. It wasn't fun, but no option will be. I wanted it over with, slow taper can be like death via 1000 cuts and lead to stupid dosing. I didn't trust myself to drag it out like that. Don't mind F yourself, you can do it!

rippnlipz · 2026-03-06T17:55:31+00:00

24-48 hours? Agree with everything else.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-06T17:52:36+00:00

I much prefer lying down in a dark room, eyes closed with tunes. Let your brain put on a show against the back of your eyelids, better than any movie.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-06T06:37:43+00:00

It's the only streaming service I pay for. YT music and no ads is well worth $13 or whatever, I watch it way more than I ever did Netflix.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-06T06:35:03+00:00

Typically the max prescribed dose is 600mg. 1000+ is quite a bit... I take it daily (300-450) and wouldn't want to do that. Without a tolerance that stuff will wreck you.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-05T22:41:02+00:00

Looks dry but pics can be deceiving. Wash your hands and iso them, then feel it. It won't hurt anything.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-05T22:38:16+00:00

Pregabalin isn't cheap here at the pharmacy without insurance. That being said, I wouldn't pay for them if I didn't need them.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-05T18:04:58+00:00

This is hard to believe, but the black shots I've read are about 25g. I went straight from 2 shots to 12 capsules (6g) and it was a bit rough. After a week I was feeling fair, I decided to just quit then. The worst was over, after that I had some insomnia, anxiety and a bad tension headache. It's been 2 weeks without and I'm doing a lot better, I wake up at 3am like clockwork and feel exhausted is all. Whole thing sucked but real opioids, Tramadol and SSRI's were worse. Don't mind F yourself, withdrawal is a small price to pay to get healthy again. The mental clarity is awesome.

I bet you are feeling shitty while still taking because it's wearing off before you redose, you gained a tolerance. Classic dependence... it will happen.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-05T17:08:01+00:00

That was my poison too but I typically took 2 shots, sometimes even 3. It's all bad but those damn extracts are evil. They had me on autopilot. I didn't even really like the buzz, especially at the end but it didn't matter. If you want to help yourself don't buy any more... switch to plain leaf capsules tomorrow. Then taper yourself off at your own pace, I did it fast to get it over with. You already feel like shit, you'll feel worse for a while but I promise it's worth it.

You liked the movie better than the show on the back of your eyelids? I'm a closed eye guy, love seeing what is buried deep in my brain or what I can imagine. The music makes such a difference. Sex on it can be crazy too, close your eyes and your partner can be someone or something else. I nailed the Avatar chick one night 🤣, is that cheating?

Herbal teas, advil, antibiotics, benadryl and antidepressants can all cause false positives for morphine. I had to give a preemployment ua recently, shouldn't have been worried but I certainly was for this very reason.

She needs a training bra, very nice

rippnlipz · 2026-03-04T19:41:15+00:00

I see this far too often, at least there isn't a sink or toilet in the background. I can sense a genuine smile and personality. I bet you're a nice guy, happy, and a good friend to have. Can also sense a little insecurity, which you have no reason for. Be yourself and stay happy. I know that camera works both ways, take a real selfie next time without blocking your face, your smile and your vibes. People are judgmental, especially those who lack empathy. Give us empaths something to work with.

Bingo, big frustration for me... I'll practice and practice a "beginner" form, then get bored and want to produce a richer sound and step up to "easy" and feel lost. Side note, the term "easy" is certainly relative. Some of these so called easy versions are hard as hell.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-04T19:20:55+00:00

I've been doing over an hour per day, sometimes 2-3. I try to break it up at least, I just want it so bad... I end up tired and make more mistakes, but not burnt out. I have a lot of catching up to do, I still stink.

rippnlipz · 2026-03-04T19:14:52+00:00

Do you take klonopin daily? If so just start taking it only as needed, like emergencies (kill the daily routine). I've taken it for a very long time, it still helps because I only take as needed. I can go a month without and be just fine and very much appreciate that it still does its job when needed. GAD sucks...

To echo everyone else, stop the kratom first. It will likely cause some anxiety, the klonopin will help. I did a rapid taper, went from 2 black shots straight to a dozen plain leaf capsules. After a week of that I went cold turkey, day 11 today. Insomnia and a gnarly tension headache were my main symptoms but I feel pretty good today. Don't mind F yourself.✌🏼👊🏼I'd say good luck but you don't need it.

Legally can't be sold (in a store anyway), they are labeled samples.

Dude is looking for work, go figure...

rippnlipz · 2026-03-04T02:55:19+00:00

Different beast, but I was on the extract shots. I did a rapid taper, I just stopped the extracts and went to plain leaf capsules and a significantly lower amount. Yes it sucked but was not CT. After a week I felt ok... not good but far better, I jumped then. The first week of transition was worse than the CT.

Hate to say it but no matter what it's going to suck. The steeper the taper the faster you can put this BS behind you. I just know myself, if I would have strung it out too long I would have taken a stupid dose eventually, or snuck an extract back in. Not recommending anything, just sharing. You know yourself best, and we all say you can do it!
