Preparing for Kratom Withdrawal

[muskolo]

Hi everyone,

I've been taking kratom daily for nearly 3 years now and before that I was on suboxone for a year and a half. Due to issues beyond my control, I have to stop entirely and have taken the rest of what I had. I've gone a day or two over the years but never more than 3, I don't think. Other than the usual aspects of opiate withdrawal, what can I expect? I'm especially looking for anyone who has gone through kratom withdrawal successfully for at least a significant amount of time (over a few weeks at least).

Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have not gone through kratom withdrawal myself - however everything I have read leads me to believe you should expect symptoms similar to that of stronger opioids, except on a much lower scale. So nausea, RLS, hot/cold/sweaty, insomnia, weird tingly annoying feeling in your skin, etc. Except more mild than oxycodone or heroin. Not a walk in the park, but not as bad as it could be, right?

You can get through this! Hot showers/baths, exercise, healthy food, and if you can get it then clonidine and gabapentin will help too. Even just taking a walk out in the sun will help more than you think. Good luck!

Hopefully somebody who has been through specifically kratom will see this and have some more advice.

We're you taking plain leaf or extracts? Plain leaf withdrawal should be a walk in the park. But if you don't have heroin/oxy withdrawal to compare it to then its hard to understand

The biggest advice I can give is to try to not psych yourself out. Mind over matter is powerful, and I know I've made past withdrawals worse by dwelling on the fact I'm gonna be sick and how much it's gonna suck. I swear it makes it longer/more intense

Whether its plain leaf or extracts it may give you slight w.d, but kratoms not illegal for a reason, so don't mind fuck yourself
