I have been a daily user for this hellish plant for 5 months now -- It is time to stop. I have taken 10-15g a few times a day and It's getting to the point of where I can't function unless I have some kratom in me. I am going to use a taper -- but I need some help in doing so.

I have chosen a date (Nov. 1) that I will begin my taper that will continue into the start of December when I will jump off as soon as I am done with the semester classes.

I plan to start at 10g three times a day on November 1, then Go down to 9.75g on November 4, then 9.5g on November 7, etc all the way until I'm down til a teaspoon then jump off.

I'm needing some support behind this. That's all I can ask from you guys. If anyone wants to jump aboard and quit with me we can support each other.

Thanks for reading my friends.
 
well i'd suggest to get some loperamide. I'm in withdrawal now or should be at least but i'm pretty sure the loperamide is masking most of it.

a taper is a great idea, will always make it easier to jump off later. Your plan sounds fine.

I am in the process of quitting poppy seed tea, i'm a few days ahead of you but can offer support. I've used kratom many many times and am using it now to ease the transition from poppy tea to no poppy tea.

i've withdrawed from kratom too but i was benzod out at the time and only remember having diarrhea a few days.

good luck though and remember it won't be as bad as you imagine and it will be over rather quickly with kratom. Keep us posted.
 
I will definitely go retrieve loperamide. I will be using 5-HTP and an Ephedrine and Coffee stack with Vitamin B to keep my energy up (I'm really bad with fatigue). I will probably take 3-4 days off at the end of my taper off of work so I can get my body use to not having Kratom (I work in the labor-field). I will eat salads and fruit constantly. Probably going to take a hot bath every night when I get off.

I will probably log my results and how I feel.
 
Hey, Biggie, I'm glad that you have decided to quit and it sounds like you have a great plan for it. Check the Kratom megathread as well to hear others experience with this.Good luck.<3
 
It's just getting to the point where I wake up in the morning feeling like crap and feeling the NEED to take kratom in order to feel better.
 
using an opiate in any form is a hell of a time, but your heads in the right place so ik you can do it.. i quit opiates 2 weeks ago, in the form of percocets. its tough but its possible. just stay on it, dont give into cravings.

Good luck brother
 
Well, I've been using 10g in morning, then 10g at noon, and then 5g at night for yesterday and today, and will do that tommorow and then on sunday I will do 9.5g, 9.5, then 4.5g at night and stick with that for a few days and keep going down like that.

So far so good for the most part. Feel pretty normalish =D


1st, 2nd, 3rd = 10g, 10g, 5g
4th,5th,6th= 9.5g,9.5g,5g
7th,8th,9th=9g,9g,5g
10th,11th,12th=8.5g,8.5g,5g
13th,14th,15th=8g,8g,5g
16th,17th,18th=7.5g,7.5g,5g
19th,20th,21st=7g,7g,5g
22nd,23rd,24th=6.5g,6.5g,4.5g
25th,26th,27th=6g,6g,4.5g
28th,29th,30th=5.5g,5.5g,4g
December(Half way there!)-
1st,2nd,3rd=5g,5g,4g
4th,5th,6th=4.5g,4.5g,3.5g
7th,8th,9th=4g,4g,3g
10th,11th,12th=3.5g,3.5g,3g
13th,14th,15th=3g,3g,2.5g
16th,17th,18th=2.5g,2.5g,2.5g
19th,20th,21st=2g,2g,2g
22nd,23rd,24th=1.5g,1.5g,1.5g
25th,26th,27th=1g,1g,1g.

I'll do 1g maybe for a few more days after that, then every other day do .25 a gram off until I'm at 0, then jump off.

So far so good today. Will drop down half a gram a dosage tommorow, then keep at that level for 3 days before dropping again. Needing all the support I can get to successfully do this :)
 
I'm just tired of drugs in general. I KNOW I could be on heroin or more hard-shit but I know I would regret it. How long will I feel like shit after I drop the last dose? Like depression wise?
 
from kratom? probably a week or so. Depends on how long you used kratom and whether you've dabbled in other stronger opiates. For me the depression isn't bad it's the physical symptoms, bad restless legs, can't sleep, can't eat, no motivation. With just kratom it will go away within a week i'd say, it will be a shitty week but then you'll be back to normal.
 
I'm on Ten day (8.5g) of my taper. Do you think this taper is wise, and I will feel less hard withdrawal or when I drop it will be like hell? I DO NOT LIKE COLD TURKEY one bit.
 
the taper is very wise, it will help tremendously. I don't like cold turkey either, can't do it, won't do it. I think it's more damaging overall. Just quit nice and easy and it will be nice and easy. Each drop will hurt a little bit but not near as bad as a real withdrawal.
 
Going to drop down to 8g tommorow. Running out of the lb I had bought a few weeks ago. I really don't want to end up having to go to the headshop and spend 30 bucks on 30g of Maeng da like I have before. I get about a lb of powdered leaf red indo for 95 dollars.
 
I had ran out the other day, and went a night with no Kratom and I felt like horrible shit. Still going to continue on my taper progress. On 8g now about to drop it down, now i'm steady.
 
I think your taper plan is whats best, And i would definatly keep up with it. I have used kratom before for long periods of time and the w/d can really suck with doing a cold turkey. Keep doing what your doing and youll be just fine (:
 
I have been researching loperamide. I need to find something that will help me through the slight withdrawals at the end, because I always get a mind-set of "there's no reason to have quit and feel like shit" and then I start back up again.
 
loperamide will cover you no problem, i find codeine is easier to quit than kratom as well, so maybe a taper of codeine, then lope and you're done, just my opinion though.
