Day 3, I had switched addictions. Started with Oxycodone, Kratom, Tianeptine, Back to Kratom for 7 years this went on. Out of all of them Kratom didn't effect my Behavior that much. Biggest thing for me is the Chills. I just want to be Sober. I don't want to be dependent on a substance anymore. God free me of this.

Been an opiate addict for 15 years and i never thought i could live without it. I am now 1 year and 1 month sober and truly happy. It's not easy at all the first 3 to 6 months but man around 6 months you get this mental / additude change towards the posistive side (Amazing feeling). one day at a time and always remeber that we must endure pain to get through this. Remember to treat emotions as visitors and not permanent residents, the emotional roller coaster in early sobriety is wild lol.

[@pres10beats36]

I was at 4 grams twice a day for about a year. I started out just taking 4 grams once in the morning to that dosage twice a day. I work landscaping so it helped with energy pain and mood. I ran out of kratom the other day and was waiting to get more the next day, then boom by that night withdrawal symptoms. I got really bad RLS and was a little depressed for two days along with slight insomnia. My whole body was really achy and I had no energy whatsoever. After the first night with no kratom and withdrawal symptoms I decided I was done with it. I have no urge to buy anymore. So here I am day 3 with minor rls but I have found a heating pad works great. I’d say I feel 70% while yesterday I was like 25%. I have a feeling I’ll feel close to 100 by tomorrow. I e also been drinking a lot of water. Anyways that’s my kratom story. Just know that it can cause withdrawals.

[@jarredmarques9660]

day 5 seems worse than the day two and three. for the first days I felt good just the chills and hunger, and thirsty. day 4-5 have been fatigued and stomach cramps. lots of anxiety.

I've been weening off of indo kratom for almost 2 months now. I took 45 capsules (22.5 grams) 3x a day sometimes 4. There is NO way I could've stopped abruptly. It's awful. Even weening off you're in agony. Mentally physically emotionally you're constantly feeling defeated. You can't think or function without feeling like you have 100 lb weights on you at all times. Do not use every day. Use it every other day at the most and never more than once that day. If you are trying to ween off i suggest you take the amount you take now and cut off 10%. So 50 grams cut out 5 grams and every three days decrease by .5 grams until you are done. There's no need to suffer when you can taper it's just longer. Hope this helps someone. It worked for me.

[@allancrow134]

I used Kratom to kick almost 30 years of Methadone maintenance relatively painlessly. I tapered from 60 to 10 mg/day(methadone)over a two year period and then switched to 3 to 5 gms of Red Bali 4 to 6 times/day. I stayed on the kratom for almost two years to allow the methadone to work its way out of my system. I was using 30 to 40 grams of red kratom/day. A week ago my Kratom supply got interrupted and I had no choice but to grind it out without tapering.....cold turkey. I did not sleep for 4 days, by day 5, I finally was able to sleep for the first time. Surprisingly, I was able to walk, talk, eat and even drive during the entire ordeal, I just could not sleep because of the RLS. I forced myself to be active. I knew it wasn't going to be pleasant, but it was nothing like an opioid withdrawal, not even close. I had been planning to do a decent taper on the kratom but that option got taken off the table. A couple of things that were helpful for me were taking some Valerian root extract, 10,000 mg/day of Vitamin C and one good shot of Vodka(I don't normally drink alcohol) when the RLS was at its worst. I definitely got some relief from that. Take care friends. :)

[@mikeysaint4368]

Three years of heavy use for me till I managed to quit five months ago. I was on white vein for six months but it started making me nauseous so I switched to Red Bali. Very calming. That lasted maybe a year till I found I was only taking it to feel normal. I eventually managed to stop due to painkillers, which I of course had to taper. I didn't feel as bad as you, but I ached like hell. My lower back and legs were especially bad. What I found worked best was forcing myself to workout. It was tough, but it gave me a different kind of pain to focus on. The last thing people with bad withdrawal want is to do anything physical, but it really helped a lot and now I workout with weights and HIIT six days a week. I made a big negative a big positive, and would urge others to give it a go. Start slowly, of course.

Started Powder to taper , and I shit you not folks this might be the longest most irritating withdrawal I’ve suffered through . A month !! While still taking 3-5 grams a day now . Unreal how long lively the withdrawal feels while still having it on my system in small rations . I’ve slipped up recently and bought a shot , which lasted 2 days rather than half a day like it used to. This confirms I’ve reduced my tolerance levels , just nervous dragging this tapper out if it’ll never truly subside the aches pains but mostly insomnia . Having my first baby in 3 months with my wife , prepping for no sleep while dealing with this has been overwhelming. Apologies for the long form comment , wish y’all luck . Y’all got it !!!

I started using kratom to help quit drinking which worked great. I never measured how much I did a day. Maybe 4 heaping tablespoons worth. Day two experienced a lot of nostalgia for my teen years in the 90s. Did a lot of reflecting on good times in the past and it gave me peace while dealing with the pain of withdrawal.

@@matthewparsons8143 man know i’m so fucking proud of you bro i wish i went the way you did. i ended up paying 1500 co pay through i inpatient detox for a week. they put me on suboxone and kicked me out after 4 days with barely and taper and just a little suboxone script. i tried my best to taper off the suboxone but im on 48 hours now after jumping off and it’s been absolutely hellish. constantly uncomfortable to the point of insanity, you can’t find a comfortable position, constantly kicking and flailing. i got so fed up i was hitting my head on thing really hard like i’d really become psychotic for a bit my gf was close to baker acting me but i finally took some vitamins, magnesium, b12, etc, i think finally my body just became exhausted and i finally got like two hours of sleep around noon today. im getting better but this shit comes and goes in waves. i’ve been going to NA meetings regularly even though i’ve really only ever had a bad relationship with kratom but at the same time it’s super helpful to have a supportive group of people who literally understand the pain of coming off dopaminergic substances. it’s a fucking battle bro. im 29 and it’s definitely harder then when i tried to kick kratom about 2-3 years ago. But i’m gonna get through this shit no matter what it takes. i almost caved this morning and i just called up a homie a met in na and they just motivated me to keep going. all of this is probably extreme for most people hooked on kratom but this is my experience. personally i think subs can be helpful if you can’t taper down that last 10gpd and only use it for 5 days and lowest possible dosages but yeah man. im gonna get better slowly but surely and i hope you do too. stay strong bro you got this and don’t go back to kratom if you know you have an addictive personality even in the slightest. it’s so easy for your brain to do some mental gymnastics and put u right back at 100gpd. be safe man much love

@@greysonross7904how are ya doing? I’m on day 4 right now and feeling somewhat ok. Lil brain fog and a lil exhausted but I took some melatonin to sleep and didn’t sleep so it kinda made me feel like bleh. I haven’t had any cravings or anything like that. Just hot and cold spikes, and an overall bleh feeling. Never really felt sick to my stomach though. I take a bunch of vitamins and minerals. Dlpa, magnesium, L- theanine, bacopa, vitamin c, and last night tried some melatonin which didn’t work out so well, so I’ll probably cut that out. Besides the bleh of today, body wise I feel pretty decent. I took about 2 teaspoons, 3 times a day and started a few years ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t do my own research and listened to friends and a therapist. That’s my fault though, not theirs. I’ve never really taken pills or anything like that and didn’t want to take pills when I was seeing a therapist. I listened to the hype that it was as safe as a cup of coffee. My own fault pretty much. Nothing is as good as it seems and I should’ve been smarter. Anyways just wondering how you were doing nowadays!

I feel you on the thc thing. I have to take super low doses when otherwise sober. If I have a beer or two, or a xanax before I have a smoke or edible, then it’s a lot more tolerable. I’m decreasing my dosage of red kratom little by little, until my body gets used to lower amounts. From there, quitting altogether is much easier, at least for me. When I first started decreasing the dosage, I too experienced that flu feeling, while I was working no less. Slept like a baby that night, but the next night, maybe got 2 hours of sleep. And now, it just goes back and forth between getting plenty of sleep one night and hardly any the next. Hopefully will be over that hump soon. God bless!

[@joshua22267]

Suboxone withdrawals are worst then heroin and kratom combined. The problem with suboxone and methadone are they are long acting opiates. Long acting opiates mean your withdrawals will last alot longer compared to short acting opiates. If it works for you, it works for you, but don't try and act like suboxone is not as bad as kratom. Both have there positives and negatives. I would rate suboxone and methadone definitely worst than most other opiates when it comes to withdrawals. To a person with not a high tolerance of opiates as well, suboxone will seam highly abusable. I used to buy suboxone a couple years ago not to stop opiate withdrawal, but to get a good cheap high for the whole day.

That’s 2 below average doses a day. If only that much is giving you withdrawal never go any higher. For me, the nerves and anxiety on the first day is the worst part of it. Then I’m dealing with insomnia and hot flashes. I got on Zoloft and take 5 htp. On my 4th day and it’s absolutely nothing because of the Zoloft and it’s anti anxiety effects I’m sure. That and magnesium really helps. FYI: heave user taking 20-40 grams a day before going cold turkey right now. If you have a real problem, I’m tell ya: Zoloft. And it’s cheap. A months worth us $12

[@truepatriot2797]

I’ve been on and off addicted to Heroin for many years almost 20. The longest I ever went sober was 2 years. I’ve used kratom several times in order to quit Heroin and it worked amazing. About a year ago after a year of sobriety I started taking Kratom to stop the cravings and thoughts about heroin. Thinking I was just choosing the lesser of two evils. After about 6 months of doing Kratom I relapsed and started doing heroin again for another 6 months before my brother started to notice I was on something again. I agree with most of what you said other then recommending suboxone the withdrawal from suboxone is way worse then the withdrawal from Kratom. Due to my abuse of kratom for 6 months it definitely didn’t work as well this time. I’m on day 11 of no Heroin and day 5 now without any kratom. I’m still feeling pretty shitty and still haven’t slept since My last dose of Kratom. I’m determined to finally stop this never ending cycle of pain and misery once and for all!

I didn't have withdrawals when I'd go days between doses. It wasn't until I became an every day user and had to quit after an er visit due to palpitations. I got major anxiety and hallucinations after 12 hours. I've tapered way down then went up on my dose this last month. Got dizziness and checked my blood work. I have anemia now. They are doing studies on poor iron absorption with Kratom use. I'm on the smallest dose now. Like an 1/8 tsp. I wait until I'm absolutely crawling out of my skin. Hopefully I can get used to being without it. I'm spacing my doses 24hrs apart. I hope this info helps. Maybe it's like alcohol how they say the second, 3rd time you try to quit it gets worse. This makes sense. I've been using five years. I started using every day in 2019. My doses varied from 10g-30g. Now Im taking 1g every 24hrs.

[@alchemist1111]

After 12 years I finally quit coming up on a year ago. I found that it helped me quit smoking cigarettes and worked like an anti-anxiety/anti-depressant so I kept using it. I accomplished a lot until around about the 6 year mark and then it became very clear that it was a dependency and required constant maintenance. My motivation came down to an idle and I no longer had the drive I did. This stuff does get hooks in you and it feels bad not to take it but it also feels bad to take it unless you up your dose or cut back for a while. As far as constipation, you need to drink lots of water if you are taking this but if you are taking it often enough to worry about that, consider quititting or at least never fall into daily use or you will eventually regret it.

I didn’t know about the withdrawal from Kratom. I was taking 4-6oz everyday for almost a year, I went to quit CT a week ago, and I wanted to go play in traffic after 24 hours. So I’ve gone the tapering route, I’ve cut my daily dose in half without severe withdrawal symptoms. It takes the body 7-10 days to adjust to a lower dosage . So every week I will reduce my dose by 10% until I can just micro dose, and then quit CT then, so that’s going to be sometime, but worth it in the end.

I feel I should take a break from it just to have a reset. Do u take Adderall daily tho? Im legit asking cuz i feel i should just get on that instead of the kratom.

[@Punkpsychobilly]

Adderall is an amphetamine and Kratom works more off your opioid receptors, so they do two different things. Yes they’re both addictive, but Kratom is not a scheduled substance in most states. If the Kratom works for you, I’d take that. I’d always say that putting natural things into your body is better than all the binders and crap that they put into pills. I’ve taken Kratom for 5+ years and it’s gotten me off of every single medication that I used to be on, so I’m a big believer in using it. You’ll definitely develop a tolerance for it, but in my experience it has always worked and I’ve never really had to change the amount I took. Also, you really can’t OD on Kratom as taking too much usually just makes you sick and dizzy. Not saying it can’t happen, but the potential for ODing is a lot less than with an amphetamine.

Ive been taking 50+ grams of green and blue maeng da daily for at least for years or more and quit cold turkey 7 days ago and i feel like im going crazy, hot and cold, no sleep, cant stop moving, runny nose and sneezing. Hopefully it will be done soon!

I've withdrawald from every opiate you can think of, duladids, fent, percs (how I started after breaking my wrist, I wouldn't even take a Tylenol before that) real H, and just recently subs. I would throw kratom up there with fenny withdrawal idgaf, I've done it all. Shit is horrible.

I had to go to my trial while having a full blown heroid WD. My DD got caught a few days earlier. I passed out after 20 min

Whoa you said something that makes sense. I took Adderall and never felt withdrawal. Green kratom was a complete opiat withdrawl feeling. I changed to white kratom and the withdrawl was not there if i stop taking it either. Its been several days, and im not taking it anymore. Im not feeling withdrawl at the moment. I hope it just never comes

I’m similar to you with the thc. I miss the days when you could find Thai stick that you could smoke during the day and not be absolutely battered by it. I can’t smoke weed these days it just spins me out.

Great video but to suggest suboxone over kratom imo is insane! I got off both of these.. kratom lasted 4-5 days of feel crummy but after 1-2 weeks I felt 100% but it took me a solid year to feel my 100% self after suboxone withdrawal

One pattern that I have noticed is that a lot of people want to stop after 2 years. I wonder why that is?

Here I was thinking a heaping teaspoon is 2.5-3 grams it’s 6 grams!! I was taking double what I thought!! I just bought a scale, I’m in shock
