Quitting Kratom || Withdrawal [Day 5]

Are you wondering what using and/or quitting Kratom is like? This video series will give you insight into the destruction it can cause if abused and what withdrawal feels like.
Like Uncle Ben once said, with great power comes great responsibility. Humans are powerful but without freedom, we are powerless. Release your chains.
This is day 5.

Great content with those struggling with substance abuse! I've just gotten thru a hell of a withdrawal from fent. 10 days going strong tho, all I can say is that it gets betters everyday, it's a long tunnel to walk but when u finally come out the tunnel and see the light, it's so worth it. Drink lots of water and take plenty of good vitamins when u can eat. Stay away from junk food while withdrawaling. Anyone reading this, you can do it.

I’m almost a year sober, got sober in February… this helped man. thank you man.

[@Powell707]

Great video I'm on my kratom withdrawal journey right now, I am a 40 gram user down to probably 10 to 15 grams but keep dropping everyday, this video has helped thank you bro

[@theNomadWay.]

Thanks for tuning in my friend! You’re welcome, and I hope you’ve dropped it altogether once and for all. It’ll make you stronger 💪

[@Powell707]

3 days off!!

[@CaliforniaCardsmith]

@@Powell707nice! How is it going now? I went from subs for years and tapered down then went to kratom but tapering as well and do t want to rely on anything. How low did you go? 1-2gpd or a bit & jump or what?

[@lucid6067]

Needed to see this vid. I’m on day four and the restless legs at night insomnia fatigue and depression or anhedonia are comparable to my dilaudid withdrawals. It’s so hard because it’s available at any time and the pain can be gone. Glad you uploaded this video. Thanks man.

[@theNomadWay.]

You’re welcome dude! Gotta think in terms of the benefits of quitting. Stay strong 💪

[@loveistheanswer5924]

On a Kratom withdrawal I feel so bad I could not even make a video! I would just laying with my head on the table moving my legs and moan from time to time😫😫😩

[@theNomadWay.]

Hahaha I feel you. This is an accurate description.

[@AR-do2ob]

It's me...

[@6skw]

Lol feel ya man

[@daddydanko1189]

I’m at 6-12ish a day. Was really only wanting to quit because relying on a drug that can become illegal at any point isn’t what I’d like to see myself trying to find. Keep up the good work. I’m going to try to kick the habit when I have a vacation. Which isn’t the ideal vacation but I don’t want withdraw while working.

[@theNomadWay.]

Thanks sir!

[@unhxlyshinobi8352]

I know the feeling! Definitely my plan as well

[@greysonross7201]

Same here ! Going to taper down until fall time 1 week vacation, well … a detox StayCation . This guys channel motivated me !

[@CaliforniaCardsmith]

Same here… i fear going on a long vacation or camping trip and forgetting it or it getting lost or something. I don’t want to rely on something to function. How is it going now with you ?

[@AR-do2ob]

I was withdrawing during vacation...I ended up rebooking my ticket back earlier so I can get access to kratom in my country...oh well...hard stuff

[@robertcarter6887]

No dude, you look better than previous vids

[@martincarney3837]

Thank you for theses videos, currently tapering down now. Sitting around 10 g's per day gonna sit here for a few days then push forward. The tapering part has been a bit rough for sure, but not undoable by any means.

[@zachgillen6549]

The sneezing is from opiate withdrawal, which is basically what kratom is. Anything that hits your opiate receptors you will go through anything similar to opiate withdrawal. I kicked heroin about nine years ago with a really long have it like 10 years and it was easier than kicking kratom. The runny nose, and sneezing, the body aches all that stuff is opiate withdrawal. Proud of you though dude I know this is an old video when you’re down the line but regardless, I watched all your videos man. I’m proud of you. I want to get to that level. I’m on day three.

[@mackenstood]

I’m with ya, day 5 keep pushing on.

[@theNomadWay.]

Thanks man, I hope you are well.

[@mackenstood]

@@theNomadWay. It’s been a long month still off, if you ever want to slow down time withdrawal off kratom lol. Thanks Nomad and others the videos helped me a bunch!

[@jamesseibert9061]

only had 3 day withdrawals from opiates. I would actually use Kratom when coming off opiates. It would keep me from getting opiate withdrawal symptoms. Never used Kratom more than 3 days in a row. After watching this, don't plan on it.

[@theNomadWay.]

Yep, definitely a wise choice!

[@steve-tk5zv]

Stem an vein helping me get off a raging kratom habit. Woke up middle nite took kratom all day long. Stem an vaine takes withdrawal off kratom

[@ronmexico79]

What is stem and vein? Where do I find it

[@CaliforniaCardsmith]

Nice I want to get some. I want to taper down as well. Don’t want to rely on anything at all.. but also don’t want to do cold turkey or few there is a major rush.. I have been tapering and going to the gym 3-5x a week and eating better etc

[@itsmjeezy2596]

End of day 4 starting day 5 for me. I went on a hike today with my son and it actually helped a lot. Just getting some excercise/fresh air and sunlight does something to the chemicals in your brain that gives you a little mood boost. That being said I'm still feeling very fatigued and having slight hot flashes. Hot showers/baths help some. I've been through Methadone withdrawals which I would say was about 2-3x as bad and lasted much longer so I know I can do it. But kratom withdrawal is not easy like some will have you believe. Some people describe opioid withdrawal as flu like symptoms which I disagree with. With the flu you at least know your going to feel better in a day or 2. Opioid withdrawal is a drawn out process that can last for weeks, you start feeling better after week 1 or 2 but you still don't feel like yourself again for quite some time which causes and indescribable feeling of hopelessness and the physical symptoms even though they lessen everyday combined with the hopelessness is really hard to deal with. Congratulations to everyone who is going through it you are taking a step in the right direction to change your life for better.

[@theNomadWay.]

Congrats on your progress. You have the experience and knowledge to make it through. All you need now is the will! You can do it

[@itsmjeezy2596]

[@theNomadWay.]

@@itsmjeezy2596 30 days I would say. After a month, I felt pretty good.

[@raphaelness1239]

​@@theNomadWay. how long were you on it? I have been for years and I tried a couple months ago and only got to day 5. Depression hit so hard that day and I relapsed! Are you off it now and if so are you able get excited about and feel joy in life?

[@theNomadWay.]

@@raphaelness1239 hi Raphael! I’m still Kratom free yes! I was on it for 2 and a half years roughly. Quitting is tough for sure but after a while you feel completely normal again. Everything goes back to the way it was before you even knew Kratom existed. You just have to make it through the black hole. On the other side is freedom.

[@marissarenee4123]

the restless legs is making sleeping impossible that’s the only thing killing me now. I’m on day 6. Mostly feeling tired, hot sweats, and restless legs

[@theNomadWay.]

👍 doesn’t sound that bad which is good. Your body/mind will sleep when it needs to there’s nothing to worry about there. It’ll be over before you know it. I know it sucks though. Keep up the progress!

[@jaredbuckley9544]

Go to Dr. Get some requip. It helps.

[@jasonbell5129]

Lots of water and the sauna helped a lot to

[@AR-do2ob]

Sauna is a real thing

[@ino7604]

Im two weeks clean tomorrow. Withdrawls have almost completely gone away for me. Still have a little bit of lingering symptoms but nothing compared to that first week or so... was hell. Didnt sleep at all. Had anxiety and depression. And i had to work. It wasnt easy at all

[@jimbof20able]

Sneezing is common w opiate WD….You’re doing great, day 5 is amazing, doesn’t matter how you got there….I’ve had plenty of experience w hard opiates…Quit cold turkey over 4 years ago (after many many failed attempts) after 5-6 years of use…..For some reason started Kratom like 2 years ago and attempting to quit this…Hard to say how much a day I was taking. Just took it and didn’t keep track and also used a lot of extracts….Took my last dose Friday afternoon, currently at like 62 hours without…Used a few aids over the weekend that really help but now going back to work (Mon morning) I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get by..Anyway I enjoy the videos, keep it up!

[@theNomadWay.]

Thanks for your comment James! Today is terrible (day 6). I almost cried on a company call and my mind was blurred all day. I think it’s PAWS. I have extreme anxiety too. Pushing through it though, hopefully I don’t get fired for doing something dumb. I’m trying to keep my head on straight. Good luck to you sir.

[@These-nutz]

How did it go James??

[@greysonross7201]

I’m going to have to use a 1 week paid vacation to detox and get off this crap . It was so helpful, it got me off alcohol completely and cut back on marijuana like crazy . But I think I’m ready to taper down and then quit cold turkey this fall

[@CaliforniaCardsmith]

@@greysonross7201how is it going. I want to taper down as well. Don’t want to rely on anything at all.. but also don’t want to do cold turkey or few there is a major rush.. I have been tapering and going to the gym 3-5x a week and eating better etc.

[@rueporter2253]

Love that song in back. I take 40-60gms per day. I'm hooked but I know I can use other plants when I wanna reset tolerance or stop. Sneezing is from the withdrawal. All opites do it.

[@theNomadWay.]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@tameramares5785]

Mine is opiates...😭💔😭. Was thinking on trying the kratom switch, but afraid because of my addictive behavior. Plus, almost every quitting Kratom video I have watched, they say it started out great, but turned on them. Ty for your videos.

[@theNomadWay.]

From what i heard Kratom is safer and easier to get off of. I haven’t ever been addicted to opiates though so I wouldn’t know how it compares or the transition to Kratom. With addictive personalities you’re right, it’s a lose lose with any substance. The positives of having an addictive personality is you can also be addicted to positive things! Be strong 💪 and break those bad habits. You’re welcome btw! Thanks for checking out my channel.

[@rueporter2253]

Trick with kra Tom is to not do it more than twice a day an never go above four gms per. Also, it is great used to get off opiates ,t hen use other plants to get off that. There's any sister plants of kra Tom that aren't addictive. Javanica an hisurta are two. It's a process. Never ever take subs!!!!! I was hooked on opiates, then methadone, then subs. 😵 I got off all of em using my plant knowledge an it was almost painless. Akuamma seed helps. If you want to know about how I do it with measurements an plant types etc, I'll share. That's to anyone. 😊

[@greysonross7904]

It’s the evening of day 2 of withdrawal and I feel a lot better than I did yesterday on day 1 and this morning and afternoon- but still feel like shit . I’m doing Benadryl for the sneezing and vitamin C and taking magnesium and also a healthy testosterone booster and doing the sauna for 20 minutes a day and currently about to do an 20 minute ice bath . Kratom withdrawal sucks!!!!- won’t be touching that shit AGAIN.

Exercise helps like nothing else.

[@BirdieBlrrrd]

That’s rly all ya gotta do. Maybe d8 and cbn for the legs and sleep. Best way to kick it. I walked 15k steps a day when I ct my habit early this year.

[@davekehnast7034]

FYI, Gabapentin helps A LOT. You can get it prescribed by an online doctor very easily.

[@kevinhayes9947]

When I was addicted to oxycodone and hydrocodone and type of pain pill out there when I would withdrawal I would sneeze 10 times in a row sometimes lol man them days sucked so bad. I always knew kratom could be used as a way to stop because one day I don't have anything and got some kratom and it took care of my symptoms, but what actually got me off 60-150mg of oxy a day was a strict Suboxone taper and it worked. A few weeks after I was still super depressed and discover kratom. I'll use it few times a week now. No one could pay me to ever take another pain pill again

[@sunnys3325]

Great job man. So u were sleeping normally??

[@theNomadWay.]

When I tapered no my sleep was interrupted. When I went cold turkey yea my sleep was okay. But I normally drink too much caffeine so I can’t really tell. My sleep is always messed up unfortunately. I need to cut the caffeine. Thanks btw!!

[@deft1abc1]

Can we get an update? Have the depressive thoughts gone away? I'm on day 5 now and doing OK on the physical symptoms but the sudden waves of depression and sadness have me not wanting to go anywhere or do anything. I've also had sneezing and bad sleep. Quit cold turkey after 3 1/2 years of 12gpd everyday. This sucks!

[@theNomadWay.]

I’ve been uploading videos. Have you checked my channel? I can do a new one on Kratom specifically soon. Thanks and I’m sorry you’re having such a tough time. It does get better.

[@AR-do2ob]

I'm on day 4 or 5 now. Most of physical symptoms are gone and I actually, for the first time during kratom usage, had some interest in alcohol. So maybe drink so champagne if u can

[@BirdieBlrrrd]

I quit Kratom every weekend :)

[@brockgeorge6437]

Yea kratom withdrawal is a bitch. Your best bet is to plan it out and cut down gradually. Cold turkey is a rough way to go bro. Kava helps man. Hope you made it through. I was up to about 60 grams a day at one point.
