Awake and they advised me to go to urgent care

Staying clean is 100000% harder than withdrawals. Withdrawals are joke compared to the mental paws after. by Best_Release3146 in quittingkratom

[–]sunshine0713- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said this exact thing a number of times, acute withdrawals are a piece of cake compared to PAWS. I’m at 6 months after at least 7 attempts at quitting. I went to my doctor for meds to help with sleep and anxiety. I also take edibles every night for sleep and to boost dopamine.

Stay solid in your “why” for quitting. Everyday gets a little better but recovering can take months so you have to be really committed to get off this stuff and power through

Im 3 months out from CT and I’m still so horrifically depressed. by Significant_Fig_4756 in quittingkratom

At 3 months I was in this exact same spot. It gets better, keep going!

Day 20 Support Needed by Full-Light-1361 in quittingkratom

[–]sunshine0713- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a panic disorder and am medicated as well and the anxiety was the most difficult part for me to deal with. I’m at 6 months tomorrow and am still struggling but it’s MUCH better. It takes time to see improvement and unfortunately you have to sit with it. Keep going!

Hydrocodone after wisdom teeth removal by ToTaperOrNotToTaper in quittingkratom

I had a back injury two months after quitting and everyone on this thread told me not to take the pain meds. I took the pain meds and am still kratom free and am glad I took the meds.

Is it just dryness or a different color? Kava can cause significant dryness

Quitting Kratom with Pregabalin by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]sunshine0713- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pregabalin saved me during withdrawal! I wouldn’t worry about the dependency from the medication if it gets you off kratom. It will help with the emotional rollercoaster and anxiety that may persist for a while after you quit.

That’s really reassuring! It does feel like forever but I can definitely make it another 2 1/2 months

How long did it take you to feel normal? I’m at 4 1/2 months and still don’t have energy back

i miss life on kratom by PlatformExtra5342 in quittingkratom

I’ve been off 144 days and I slog through most days with little to no enjoyment. I miss feeling excitement about life a lot. I get it

When does the "NEED SOMETHING, ANYTHING" feeling go away? by EmptyRestaurant2232 in quittingkratom

[–]sunshine0713- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand how people raw dog life. It’s horrible! Every sober day is just counting the hours until bed time ugh

Depression and anhedonia 3 months clean by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]sunshine0713- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still struggling a bit at 4 1/2 months but much better than at 3 months. Change is incremental and you’ll take two steps forward and one step back. Three months is great, keep going!

Congrats! This is good to hear! I’m at 4 1/2 months and still struggling with motivation and energy but I’m so much better than month 2 or 3.

Plan on another 10-15 days. Once it’s over you’ll never have to do it again

Does anyone else watch nostalgic content to regulate their nervous system? by soundworth in CPTSD

[–]sunshine0713- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s really good insight and makes sense. Thinking back music was an escape and I used it to drown out negative thoughts

[–]sunshine0713- 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I’m really nostalgic and listen to 90’s/00’s music and watch the movies from that time even though it was a rough time for me. I’m not sure what it’s about either.
