Hey all! Great to see some encouragement in here. Herbie, Stickman, Sixx, thank you for the kind words!
I'm still on zero pills since my last update. I've reduced the Kratom to 1.5 grams at most twice a day. I'm still having chills, stomach not the best but I'm managing, sleep is no bueno, and I'm fairly irritable. I'm also working on giving up smoking cigarettes too since I came down with bronchitis a couple weeks ago. I'm sure that's affecting me as well. I'm chewing up to 5 pieces of the lowest dose nicorette gum they make a day which helps, but I'm still feeling it regardless.
This heavy head and just flat out exhausted feelings are probably taking the toll the worst on me. I'm just pushing myself through going to work, going to the gym, went to a local NHL game last night with the gal ... but it's all going through the motions and I just can't seem to get excited over anything due to how tired and dragging I am. Does anyone have any good advice for help with that? I don't like stimulants but I do have a few 30mg adderall at the house I could take 1/4's of once or twice a day but I'd prefer to be more alert on my own. Anxiety has been tough as well. I have xanax, but since I broke free from that dependence a few years ago, I very rarely will ever take any of them either. I'm forcing myself to eat fairly well and get my vitamins and probiotics down each day. It just feels like I'm doing everything I can but feel sooooo blah!
Here's to the camaraderie!
