    I am currently at 60 g per day and I’m going to start tapering. This will be my second time quitting. I was on it for six years and quit for a year and a half …and then like an idiot started again thinking I could control it this time. This stuff is making me want to… After a while it does something. The depression gets very deep. This plant can be very useful for people who are addicted to dangerous drugs but if you have a personality, that is addictive, be very careful. Thank you for making this channel. It helps so much to see that there are other people in the world like me.

      This is very true for me too. After a while I oscillate between feeling great for a few days, then really not great for days. It's odd.
      Not to mention being a slave to anything sucks.
      I had to taper more than once as well... And I picked up kratom after surviving heroin addiction and being clean for years.
      Just don't give up. If you falter on your taper, be kind to yourself and try to jump back nearest you can to where you left of.
      I couldn't get through it until I decided to love myself even when I messed up - and to still believe it was possible for me.
      If you really want to be clean - Never give up!

      The plant can be amazing for sure. Getting addicted to it is awful. When quitting the depression is absolutely unbearable.

      That is the mentality of addict. It's called insanity which by definition means doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

    Currently tapering. Presently at 3 grams every six hours.
    Videos on others experience with quitting are encouraging.
    I am using Corydalis or Ashwagandha in between doses.
    I’ve been using for 3.5 years; as high as 30-35 grams per day

      I don't get it! I use Kratom for more then 3 years, but I have never do more than 12g per day. Curently I do only 2.7g, 3 times per day. How people take 3x what I do, it's kind of shocking for me.

      If you keep your dose low and use it no more than three times a day you will be fine! It's the high doses, multiple times a day and never taking a break is where you can get into trouble very quickly

    Dude all of this resonates and so fucken true. Get this shit, the one time I cold turkeyd it, I woke up with Covid and I thought everything I was experiencing was Covid related. Didn’t sleep for 2 weeks. Stupidly I got back on kratom after a month and soon realized everything I experienced was withdrawal and the Covid wasn’t really all that bad. Just started my taper today at around 17gpd. This shit turned out to be so whack! Withdrawals are absolutely no joke

  • @dustygatrell-ru7tg

    Been off kratom for 8 days. It's not that bad to quit once you get over the first 3 days to week. You might be restless for awhile but it goes away pretty quick tho couple weeks to a month. Depending on how much you take.

  • @adamguinnmusic5871
    @adamguinnmusic5871 7 місяців тому +1

    All right so I just want to say for anyone trying to do this.
    Since my last comment I have successfully quit and restarted kratom.
    I want about a solid 7 days before 90% of the symptoms were gone.
    So I was using a bunch of supplements. Idk if anything worked. It was straight hell.
    I'll tell you what though. If you are in a safe position to do it. Just drink your way through it.
    I had ten days off work and was staying in a cabin with no one around. Day two I just started drinking heavy. It's all still intense but alcohol is like armor. I just drank and listened to music until I would fall asleep for a couple hours and wake up and start again.
    And if you have good friends just keep as many on the phone as you can laughing and talking about old times and shit.
    Made it all quite doable.
    Anyway since all that I realized I love kratom and now I'm back down to a reasonable amount and all is well.
    Good luck everyone.
    Don't blame the drugs.

    I'm quitting kratom AGAIN right now. Kratom is only nice the first 2-3 weeks of use, then does like you say, makes you content doing nothing, having no goals, etc. I've quit like 6 or 7 times now, so I know what supplements and medications actually significantly help through the withdrawal process; pretty sad that I know that now.

    I'm on suboxone because of kratom but in the end found out it wasn't kratom and no one knows what it actually was but they have stopped selling it because people were getting physically addicted to it being sold as a Kratom extract high potency. I was waking up every 4 hours in full blown withdrawals basically sick as fk. Kratom made me crap enormous turds that really hurt to pass. The powder is very dense. The taste is horrific. Then I found these pills and became physically addicted. Suboxone is bad too but I'm not having really bad withdrawals from it. Personally because it's not regulated there have been trace amounts of toxic substance in that powder.

    Its a dark place to be man. Hang in there. Separate yourself from the drug crowd. If i hadnt cut all my old friends off i would have never quit all that bull sh*t.
    Im fortunate to quit the scene after 8 years but the damage is done. I cant imagine the damage after 20 or 30 years. Im more easily irritated, i have a life long sentence of cronic insomnia. Maybe ill figure something out for sleep eventually but so far ive been f*cked.

      You're insomnia will eventually go away if it is caused by kratom withdrawal. All the symptoms of opiate or kratom withdrawal subside. I say opiate or kratom withdrawals because they are two different things. Put both act on the opioid receptor

    I eat 2.2lbs every 3ish weeks, I cant get through my day without it, I've got health problems and lots of pain, it helps me stay awake so I can work and pay the bills. Smoke alot of D8 and hemp flower.
    I probably eat 5g every hour or 2, specially when working I prob eat more. So glad I can get a 1kilo bag for $80
    Been on it hard the last 4+ years, was the only way I was able to make it to work with covid without ever calling out.
    Stuff tastes so so nasty, very addictive, if I got 12 hours without it, the brain fog and the fatigue is so heavy.
