I just wanted to say that 16 days w/o opiates is HUGE!!!! 16 HOURS IS HUGE BUT 16 DAYS!?! Way to go!!!????I've never had kratom but I do know it can possibly have nasty withdrawals for some people. Do you plan on maintaining on it or you trying to get fully clean?
In less than 5 hours will be 16 days no opiates!
Hey mtop, I'm on day 20 myself. Just yesterday I finally got out of bed for the first time and went for a short walk. Just got back from another short (22 minutes) walk a few minutes ago. Just wanted to drop in and say you got this!I've never had kratom but I do know it can possibly have nasty withdrawals for some people. Do you plan on maintaining on it or you trying to get fully clean?

I'm not too sure on recommendations but I can say that I took opioids for 4 years and they certainly made me have more of a speed feeling than a downer feeling. Most of the times I slept good were when I increased doses. Any time i tapered down i didn't sleep as nearly as well. Unfortunately insomnia is one of the big things when stopping opioids and I truly feel (at least in my own experience) that it happens when tapering as well. It sounds like it but just to be sure Are you trying to lower the opioid dose and stop taking ambien?Looking for recommendations for insomnia? Trying to stop ambien but having little success with herbal remedies. (Background: I am taking about 40-50mg of Hydrocodone per day- tapered down from about 80mg per day). Without good sleep it’s hard to continue tapering the pain meds. I do not believe I’m experiencing withdrawal from opiates, rather stimulation from opiates. I cannot completely get off opiates at this time due to chronic pain issues but hope to some day. Any recommendations are welcome!
Wow 78 days is a lot. How's it working out for you? Your encouragement also has helped me out greatly. Not just you, everyone here.Mmtop...So stoked for you! I am at 78 days. I had to count, bc I stopped really at 60. I couldn't have done it without u guys, without heavy exercise and a ketosis way of eating. I prolly just substituted drugs for working out-but hey, I'm an obsessive person.
I'm glad this is working for u mtop. Is it everything u ever wished for?

It hasn't been everything I wanted but there has been some great things. Probably m biggest reason besides being clean was getting my stomache back to normal. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis after a horrible 3 week hospital stay and was told it's all from opiates. They were somewhat right, my appetite is back and I don't get nearly as sick as I used to when I eat. They said it might take 2 months for it to get back 100% but I'm doubtful as I had problems before opiates. But there has been an improvement!
I'm noticing a lot of old interests coming back, like music, games, and even starting hanging out with some old friends(sober ones).
Also have a strong urge to get back working, it'll keep my mind off of things and nothing wrong with having good money in your pocket.
I used to be a gym rat as well, definitely going to be jumping back into. Also going to start drinking protein to bulk up a bit.
Today makes 22 days for me!
I was off and on pills with apap then when my troubles became serious i switched fully to methadone and spent many years on that, then subutex. I've actually had stomach issues since I was about 6 years old.Were you taking pills with acetaminophen/paracetamol in them? If you were and the doctors said it was the opiates, what they really should have said is it was the tylenol in the opiate pills. In any case, glad to hear you're getting back to normal. great job!
