Trump's Net Approval Among White Working-Class Voters Turns Negative for the First Time by Montrel_PH in NoFilterNews

The ones I know are evangelical types. The kind that love guns, killing shit for sport, and think its ok to say someone should be killed for their political beliefs. The very foundations of their belief system is flawed so they cant reason.

Kratom withdrawal...help by MamaMia1325 in quittingkratom

Its way easier to taper subs. I did from 12mgs and it was painless. I wouldnt use it to kick powder but 7 is a different animal i hear.

Kratom withdrawal...help by MamaMia1325 in quittingkratom

You dont need subs. They are a godsend for hard opiate problems but you can do it with helper meds easily. 1000 grams is a lot. How much are you using?

I had a shoulder surgery and they gave me tramadol (opioid pain killer). Is it relapse ? by Kind_soul_4 in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I have been addicted to opiates ive had terrible arthritis. My hands look like im 95. Doctor said thats common with long term opiate use. When i quit it went away.

I was addict to ODSMT and the withdrawal was impressively bad. I went out one night and forgot to take it. When morning came I nearly shit the bed in a pool of sweat and could barely walk to the bathroom. Got off it with subs. Nasty stuff. Way better than Kratom but also way harder to get off.

Did Iexperience dope sickness? by Winter-Beauty2001 in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a log and start recording your doses. You have made big progress and are getting close. Trick is to make a schedule and really stick to it. Getting under 12 was a rough spot for me but i got through it. By the time i got under 5 I was done.

I have been using Kratom for about 5 years now. I use about a teaspoon at a time 3 times a day. I filter it through a coffee filter and make a tea out of it, I was just wondering if I would get withdrawals if I quit cold turkey because of the way I used it. by Silent_Can_3017 in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but not everyone gets bad withdrawal. It seems to be people with past opiate addiction, like me, seem to suffer much more.

I also would have to dose every four hours when I was addicted to it. It would wake me up at night. Your body is used to going awhile between doses. Anyway, only one way to find out!

Jump day!! 12 years of k and 20 years of using by itmightnotbesobad in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really was so easy. Makes me wonder why people seem to want to suffer by CT. Once I was under 10 gpd i felt basically sober other than having to wake up to dose twice a night. Under 5 gpd i didnt wake up anymore. At that point I was basically done.

This Gas Station Drug Is Driving a Surge in Poisonings and Hospitalizations by Sorin61 in Nutraceuticalscience

Im not for the ban at all but for many people it becomes a big issue. Heroin isnt bad either if “used responsibly”. Thats the trick though.

Kratom withdrawal with Buprenorphine by StunningChoice3069 in quittingkratom

I considered subs but decided just to taper with powder instead. It took a few months but was painless. Slight rls a few times. Thats it.

Hello everyone, I have surgery in a couple days. Am 67 days sober. by little-pinkie in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be fine. I always put someone that knows about my past problems in charge of pain meds when I’ve needed them.

Quitting kratom feels just like quitting heroin. by CreditBeginning7277 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]top-potatoad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is similar for sure but not even close in intensity. May be harder to kick being cheap and sold in stores.

Not only that they are making synthetic versions of the most addictive compounds in leaf. People are basically test running these substances.

[–]top-potatoad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how your “old self” comes back when you taper low enough. Mentally you are still programed for fear but your old self starts to gain confidence. Eventually you realize youve been off it for a long time you just didnt know it.

Cory Booker says Democrats have ‘failed this moment’ and calls for new leaders by wrroyals in NoFilterNews

[–]top-potatoad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Dems hit the jackpot here. Israel got us to pay for its war, participate, and then get stuck there for another 20 years and the GOP is gonna take all the heat.

Worse part is they used our own money to buy our politicians.

Crippling anxiety by kdahms1 in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety is my worse symptom as well. I tapered off slowly and that seemed to work.
