A while ago there was a thread started where a few people were posting updates on getting off of kratom and getting through the withdrawals. I understand some people don't get withdrawals, but when you do it is real.
i've been using kratom on and off for 3 years, the first year it was just every once in awhile, then it became every other day for another year simply to keep the tolerance down. The days in between i did nothing except wait for the next day. then i was off of it for a good while after going through a minor, very minor withdrawal. But 8 months ago i started using it again to get through a job socially. Ever since then i have been constantly on it with absolutely no gap except for a 3 day stint, after finding out first hand that if you don't take breaks at first, there IS a nasty withdrawal that is hard to get through. This is the first time I have been stuck on kratom from just not wanting the withdrawal. it feels like extreme constant discomfort, especially in the legs, irritability and raging at everything (during the 3 day stint, i was on a road trip with my mom, and i get carsick with any amount of kratom so i had to go off. i even screamed at her saying she was a bitch because she drank my coffee, when there was a whole pot there. I made us go all the way home), apathy and lack of interest in anything which feels like even more discomfort, and the complete and utter inability to sleep, even for days.
I take around 4-6 tbsp of the powder a day, i'm not sure how much that is in grams.
Kratom felt like my dream drug and happy ever after, ha. A combination between opiate and stimulant. But now it has no effect what so ever on me except for making me feel spiritually foggy, and foggy in general, also tired all the time. I'm at the point where i just can't live like this anymore, I have no motivation at all to do anything and I'm not getting anything out of this.
i've told myself that i'm going to taper the whole last 4 months and it doesn't happen. i'm honestly not sure if i should sign myself up to any plan, so i will make up that plan tomorrow morning when i remember the withdrawal feeling upon waking.
Anyone that comes on here and is all 'oh haha kratom withdrawal, that's nothing'. i've been through other withdrawals, namely oxycontin/vicodin, even though that was a while ago it is very comparable.
