Absolutely no seizure history. I have withdrawn from benzos multiple times cold turkey and mixed drugs that are known to cause seizures, both without issue. So far, very good luck on this front.
I take exactly 60g per day (four doses of 15g every five hours before I go to bed). I always wake up an hour or two before my alarm goes off for work wriggling in withdrawal, so that is when my first dose is. I have 6 days before I will be spending 4+ days with my family and drinking green goop out of water bottles is going to be fishy especially considering my history. They have helped me battle addiction for a long time and believe I'm 100% sober. It would crush them to know I am not.
Well, the long-term goal would definitely be to get off everything. It just never seems convenient to lower the kratom dosage. I have been through withdrawal so many times over the years that it has turned me into a baby. The slightest whiff of withdrawal has me feeling sorry for myself and avoiding work. The short-term goal is to make it through certain days using tramadol instead of kratom until I can jump back on kratom again and (in a perfect world) continue tapering my dose, a process that hasn't started yet.
Years ago, before I was on escitalopram, I would take 800mg of tramadol a day. I did get the "brain zaps" a few times (mostly when falling asleep or shortly before waking).
Thank you very much for your time and concern in this, toothpastedog. I appreciate the help and support.
