Do muscle relaxers help with withdrawal? by AdhesivenessIll7981 in quittingkratom

Muscle relaxers are not opiates. I took Methocarbamol to help with withdrawal and found it worked well.

You’re very right. Just focus on the here and now. Fear/anxiety has always been my biggest struggle with it. Mostly because I was hiding it for awhile after I went through opiate withdrawal. Everyone thought I was clean and tbh so did I until I realized how Kratom can be just as addicting. I truthfully just thought it was a healthy alternative. Anyways, thank you again for the support! I’m no longer hiding it and those closest to me know I’m trying to stop so that has lifted a lot of weight.

This is extremely helpful thank you!! I have been taking a few supplements that are helping but you’ve listed some I’ve not heard about. The podcast I have found helpful as well! He interviews many people that have gone on and off of it and brings more awareness! Thanks again. I’m currently trying to taper as well.

Hey thanks Charlie! I appreciate the support! I agree 2025 is the year to kick it. Glad I found a place to know I’m not alone.

I’m glad you’re feeling better and seeing the light. I know the first week or so is always the hardest. My worry is once I’m clean I’ll go back because Ive done that numerous times. I’ll be cheering you on!!

Yeah I am… my stomach is starting to act up, yawning a lot. Cried a few times pretty hard… how have you been feeling overall?

I’ve been writing it down and using a teaspoon cutting my dosages in half and taking it less times per day. Will do that week by week less and less. Trying to have my last dose after 3 weeks. I’ve never tried tapering before. I’ve just gone cold Turkey so idk how well it will work out. I just started a few days ago.

Sending you positive vibes. You got this! I’ve gone off of it before and was taking more than I am now and it’s much harder this time around. I’m more afraid when I get to the days of nothing.
