Needs some advice 3 years on hydro.. In wd now using kratom

[Donewithem11]

Okay so for about 3 years the doctor has had me on hydro. Started on 7.5 then moved to 10s and up to 150 a month for a long time. Last couple years I haven't went without... Always 2 at a time 3 times a day. Morning afternoon and night. Sometimes 7 total maybe 8 if I stayed up way late. Always functioned great and life was good. So now.... 5 days ago I stopped and only have taken 1 10 at night when rls got too bad. And have been taking kratom about 7g each day. During the day I feel great. Night roles around and I lay in bed and start getting rls and so I take a 10. Gives me horrible stomach aches and hard to sit still to sleep. I typicall take about 4g in morning of kratom and then maybe 1g around 4-5pm. Should I take another big dose to try and make it through the night? My brother is in the same boat he just got off them in 3 days with kratom. He's done. No dros. No kratom. Says he feels great. I'm having a hard time with the nights. Should I taper like this longer or stop taking the ten at night and try upping the kratom. Any help would be great. Doing this without any help besides talking to my brother about it. The gf don't know. Thank you.

I can't tell you about Kratom, I've wanted to try it myself but I can tell you about a blood pressure medication called Clonidine. For whatever reason it totally negates about 90% of symptoms and immodium takes care of the rest. Ask around, you may know someone who gets it. Pharmacies fill this prescription for free because it's a blood pressure medication. They've began using it in detox settings. I read about it while I was kicking the sheets coming off Opana. I took a 1mg tablet and fell asleep for the first time in 3 days and the immodium cleared up the explosive diarrhea. If you have blood pressure problems be very cautious about it if you try it. Sorry I couldn't answer about Kratom, that method I described is what I used and Opana is seriously stronger than Hydros.

All I can say is that the point of the taper is to decrease the size of the dose before jumping off. Instead of taking 10mg, you should take 5mg. I'm usually down to 5mg per day before I jump off.

I agree with Newin, your lucky to be only taking 8 in a day I take them 8 at time 2 or 3 times a day. What I have read about the kratom is that it effects different people different ways for some it's calming for others it's wide open hyper activity some it causes them to be depressed so maybe you should give up on the kratom, but stay with the taper off thing and get off em while you still can as soon as you can. Good luck I really hope you kick em.

You were taking 80mgs at a time to get high I'm assuming?

I've been on hydrocodone for 5 years & still can take 20mgs at a time to relieve my pain.

If you allow yourself to fall into the trap of chasing the high instead of just trying to relieve the pain, you can get carried away very easily.



OP: just try to taper down with the hydro.......
