I take tramadol for pain and occasionally run out a day or so before my next script due to:
A, tolerance and
B, I like the high.
I became interested in Kratom about a month ago and plan to stick to a strict twice a week plan with using that recreationally and for pain/anxiety.
Fast forward to now, 30 or so hours after my last dose of both, and about 10 hours until I get my script. My kratom should also be arriving within 4-5 days, also.
I have plenty of loperamide, gabapentin, ibuprofen and Tylenol, some robotussin, 20mg bentyl, tons on benadryl, and various other things around the house.
I was feeling fine, went to bed and then woke up in a bit of a daze, half awake, almost comparable to sleep paralysis. I stayed in that state for over an hour trying to sleep, thinking I was talking to my girlfriend but apparently I wasn't.
Keep in mind I am chronically ill, have been through chemotherapy twice and I am probably coming down with a cold now. I had surgery a few weeks ago also, so my body is still healing itself. I need sleep.
I managed to get myself up and to take a couple gabapentin and 8mg lope, and now I'm sitting in the living room eating a bit while trying to let the medicine work. I might make some poppy seed tea just to get me through the next couple hours so I can rest.
I don't plan on stopping either kratom or tramadol completely yet, I'm just trying to get through the night. I think most of us have been in this situation before. I'm pretty much just here to vent and hopefully get some support and maybe a reason to not put myself in this position again.
I'm at a great place in life, I'm happy, I'm just so damn tired of getting so damn sick, between this and everything else healthwise, I am so worn out physically.
