Howdy folks, long while since I've been here. Oh, how i miss thee kratom induced serenity.
Forewarnings: only a few days past main withdrawal as of now. And apologies but I will likely be slow responding but I shall do my best to check in every day or so for a bit.
Where to start... well i dose by tsp or tbsp despite having several scales. I leveled off around 12 tsp a dose, 2-4 times a day, around 2.5 to 3 years back. For each dose, so 24-48ish tsp daily. Last year it went up quite fast, peaking around 21 or 22 tsp toss and wash per dose. I waited a minimum of 4 hours between dosing, usually aiming for 6-8 and sometimes dosing 3.5 hours in.
Been using the same vendor for a long while and my understanding is it is good kratom but not mmm or hh in quality with their huge prices. I have averaged 150g a day, 1kg a week, for 1-1+ years. Puking became a regular event, happening once a week or so. For those curious company has been <snip>. I think that's alright to say...
Well no real health issues beyond the one I am about to mention. Hate to do so with all the ban kratom shit going around these days. I thank all those who signed with me to stop the previous ban!
Anyway. It does appear, so far, that kratom has been a notable factor in me having occasional seizures. I didn't know this until about 1.5 years back, but looking back, I have, echhhhhhh, alright honesty, 3 car crashes, from times I was on kratom. No memories of these and I am damn good at staying awake and a better than average driver. Well the third and last I drove to visit an old friend many miles away in Maine, seized in front of old friends, fled home shortly afterward as I felt embarrassed even though I know I shouldn't. Seized on the 7ish hour drive home. Thankfully (luckily) injuring nobody, including myself. In any of the 3 total car wrecks I am responsible for. Wear your seat belts!!!
I am guessing the seize in car thing, as they were all big dose kratom drives, and me loves long solo driving. Must be enjoying the ride too much! But no memories (remember hitting a deer just fine, no concussion diagnosis or the like. Catheter once, ooh much fun. So I didn't know I had any seizures until this last year.
I began my taper 12ish days ago, this morning being the first time I went past 24 hours between dosing with no significant withdrawal noticeable. I just took as little as possible as rarely as possible. Jumped down to 6ish tsp starting and ended taper with the last dose of 0 1, and before it 0.2g. The first 10 days I could not get past 12 hours without a dose to moderate the discomfort. Now I am fine 30 hours after a 0 1 tsp dose.
Well this may be premature to believe, but no seizures for a month or so now. They were once a week average before this, several times two in a day (oh sweet sweet gluttony). Feeling pretty good, considering the ridiculous amount of leaves from that tree I have eaten. No complaints, honestly. Cheeks might be a bit sunken, as I recall that a side effect. Can't say I have noticed yellow skin, though.
Surprisingly painless, despite shiver sweating between doses a handful of times. I expected much longer...
I would like to remind everyone that seizures have no single cause. As such, I believe the kratom just nudged me over a threshold. I most likely imbibe enough crap food and occasional drugs for those to likely be a factor. But I do believe now that excessive use makes seizures more likely.
All for now, I guess. I will try to answer any questions, again note I will check in once every day or two. Still lots of physiological changes due to no more absurd opiate doses all day every day. Cheers, my brothers (and sisters!). May you live long lives and never encounter such troubles.
