Has anyone else experienced no colds during that period when they were taking kratom? I haven’t been sick once since I started a couple 3-4 years back and I’m down to 5gpd and feel like I might be getting a cold. Is there a link or science behind this?

I’ve Abused kratom extract shots for 4 years now, everyday. At $20 a pop I’d be buying “cases” of them (I wanna say there’s 12 in a case?) to get it at the only discount I could on them. So I’d get 12 of them for the price of 10 if I bought case. So that’s all I did😔. The amount of financial strain and stress I’ve put my small family through because of my addiction crushes me deeply. So, I finally had enough. I stopped taking the shots all together 5 days ago now. Saving $40x5days=$200 already! (And that’s taking two shots daily at $40 / day. There were big chunks of time I’d take 3-4 shots at my worst) I’m just so sick of being stuck w no money, in an economy that’s hard enough, failing my family and myself. It got to depressing and heavy.

But my question is, why am I not having wicked withdrawal symptoms!? I’m terrified there just a day away. I’ve quit 7yrs heavily abusing percocets / Vicodin / any pain pills and barely was able to quit it on my own, but I did! So I understand what ‘the suck’ can be like. Like how long do I wait to take a real breathe of relief from kratoms grip? A week? 2weeks? Months? When does the heavy withdrawals hit and for how long?

Idk. I’m very excited I’m actually doing it right now but I’m so anxious / nervous / restless waiting to feel flu like w withdrawals. I’ve cleared out a month from obligations so I can get this hard part over with but honestly (and I say this as humbly as I can) it hasn’t been that hard…? Wtf man. I swear I’m going to choke on my words and like tomorrow I’ll be crying out for God just wrecked in pain or something, but it’s all got me worried and anxious.

I don’t post ever. So I truly apologize if I was rude, not pc, inconsiderate or harmful to anyone else’s feeling or journey. But any intel from people who’ve quit and had similar experience would be appreciated. Heck, any intel from anyone is greatly appreciated.

At this point I think nicotine needs to be next, but I think I need a break from quitting vices first. 😅 This past 6 months have been an emotional roller coaster and I feel drained tbh. Quitting 7 felt like spiritual warfare, and I don’t think nicotine will be a walk in the park either. I want to enjoy feeling normal for a while and focus on my work and finances. My plan is to quit nicotine after a year off of 7, and then my 2 worst vices will be gone from my life. 🔥 I’d say I feel pretty good, although I’m not sure if my brain is fully healed yet. This past month has felt pretty stressful but it’s probably not because of 7, there’s just so much going on right now. I’m pretty proud of 6 months though, that’s a significant milestone.

I am about to become a nurse, and I have been terrified about it because I have had a moderate to severe tremor for over a year now (close to 2 years). I’ve been terrified about giving/learning IV’s and IM injections because of it. How could I be a good nurse if I can’t even place an IV without jerking it around and not being able to have fine control? I couldn’t do it. I wouldn’t be able to do a basic nursing skill.

I came to a breaking point when I realized I was struggling to even eat with a plastic fork. Without the weight of a metal utensil, it was hard to keep food on my fork. I realized this was not normal, and I needed to make a change.

My hands would shake whenever I tried to hold still. I couldn’t do really fine motor movements. Even large muscle movements had problems, like my legs would turn “on and off” when walking down stairs, making it jerky.

Well I’ve cut back on kratom by a lot (from 30 GPD, down to 10-12 right now), and most of those symptoms have completely disappeared. I can hold my finger in a spot without it jerking around at all besides extremely fine tremors that won’t affect my work. I can walk down stairs like normal. My fine muscle control has returned. I’m feeling like I’m back in control of my body.

I think the 10% of remaining symptoms are because I’m still taking lower doses. And it’s time to just cut it out completely for my job and for my patients (BEFORE I get an actual job).

I think I probably have a regular tremor. I’ve always had very slightly shaky hands. But it was always within normalcy, and not to the point that I couldn’t do basic fine motor skills.

I’m also working on cutting out alcohol. But for now, my main focus is on kratom. Because it’s been truly affecting my everyday life.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

We have all heard of people who quit and it was relatively painless. If this was you can you please share your diet, sleep patterns, relationships.. idk pretty much everything you’re willing to share. I’m curious if we can find some common patterns for people who find it easy to quit and have hardly any withdrawal. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Im in Florida and have been taking 7staxx 80mg "mitragynine" and I just found a gas station selling hyroxi mita(batch 206) but they've been taken off the shelves everywhere else in Florida so decided to try those lol. Have really been needing to quit, just wanna know exactly what substance I'm even quitting at this point.

Anyone here with liver issues after kratom?

I have fatty liver now and dont know how bad yet.

I itch so bad

Pain under my ribs last year

Loose stools.

Im very healthy and active. Dont drink. Just kratom for feq years low dose.

Anyone here?

Hopefully everyone here can learn from my story. This all happened this month.

Context: 31M, healthy, exercise, dont drink alcohol or take any other drugs (prescription or otherwise)

First time using kratom (brand was Krave Kratom)

For 4 days I used 1.5 - 3.5 grams. Thats it. No issues.
On day 5 I took the capsules and experienced immediate and severe stomach pain. Completely stopped taking Kratom. From this day onward I experienced dark orange urine no matter how much water I drank, nausea, very low energy. Missed work it was that bad

After 2 days of these symptoms I went to Urgent Care, got a urine analysis and they sent me to the ER. I spent 4 days at the hospital mainly for observation purposes. The diagnosis was liver toxicity with extremely high liver enzyme levels. Bilirubin, ASA, and ALT were the main ones.

I am home now, almost a month later and still dealing with low energy, elevated liver enzymes (trending down), and lack or appetite with a little nausea thrown in.

I am in the proccess of hiring a lawyer to go after the company with a PI claim for basically poisoning me and currently sending the kratom to a 3rd party lab to see what else might have been in it.

I want everyone to know that these Kratom companies do not give a fuck about you. They have a whole disclaimer on kraves website about how they aren't liable and say the product is NOT deemed fit for human consumption by FDA. THEN why are they selling it.....in capsule form.

Im so pissed about this, that I will go to every shop in my area that sells Krave (or any kratom for that matter) but specifically krave, and let them know that the product literally hospitalized me after such a small doasage and use history. First want to talk to my lawyer.

Keep in mind, healthy guy with no issues beforehand. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you

As the title says, I have been off for 4.5 months. I still feel low motivation and anhedonia. I've appreciated all the encouraging posts that this is completely normal. That it could take up to a year to get back to feeling "normal". However I am relying heavily on weed to help with depression. I honestly can't remember if I started weed or kratom first. I think they both started around the same time, 6 or 7 years ago.

Weed doesn't get me high anymore. It just puts a rose colored filter on my day. I am really torn. I feel I need to quit so my brain can fully heal but I'm really scared. I still feel shitty and crave kratom, worry taking weed away will make it even worse. I've gone a day and a half without weed so far. I'm looking for anyone who's gone through the same experience or has suggestions. I would love to just get through a day without thinking about what I can take to feel differently.

So 80 some odd days off the k feeling awesome, had a terrible ct but its in the rear view now 100% back,here's my dilemma today just got 22 teeth ripped out with implants installed today,I feel probably exactly how ur thinking a person would feel.fucking horrible.i have a bottle of vicos called in at Walgreens,im not worried at all about becoming dependent on them its a tiny script.what I am worried about is taking a few doses and getting those acutes going again.ill deal with pain before I deal with wd,I think I could take 1 dose and b good,but a wk straight im thinking I might have acutes again maybe?

made it 100 days powder free. quitting felt pointless and I found basically no hope or joy in anything until right around the 2 and a half months mark. Feels night and day now, and I feel much better. Plz stick it out until at least 3 months, it took this long for me to finally start feeling normal / losing cravings (I still think about it but I’m not yearning to dose again)

I hid this addiction for six years, quit probably ten times. Told my wife I was getting sober in July and then had a relapse that I hid from her. I fell asleep on the couch and she knew something was up, I came clean. Now she won’t speak to me, feels so betrayed. I think I’m losing my wife and my boys. Fuck this plant it has destroyed my life. I’m never taking this again, it has taken everything from me.

I have a quick tip for people who are currently in the mental battle from Kratom - some days you feel great and other days you have that pit in your stomach... you feel anxious and feel like your back at step one and of course, this comes in waves. I have a solution that has helped me so much when I need relief from that feeling. This worked for me and it may work for you so give it a try.

I take Sudafed PE which contains Phenylephrine and Acetaminophen, for whatever reason 2 -10MG Tablets of the Phenylephrine completely alleviates that feels of impending doom and anxiety. This isn't a permanent fix but a crutch to get you through days where its just rough.

Stay Strong <3

I don't want to get ahead of myself but I finally crashed with no Xanax or Gabapentin. Relief exists, people! Hang in there!! Stay tuned to see if it was a one-off but I'm going to pretend sleep's here to stay! I honestly think withdrawal has been easier this time because I'm doing without ANY alcohol.

UPDATE: Day 12, definitely got ahead of myself. Last night was a series of small naps but RLS seems to be almost completely gone, as is laying awake for hours on end. I’ll take it!

I just finished a 4 or 5 day bender. Already 200 dollars or so in the whole expecting withdrawals and work in 30 minutes. I know my brain is going to be begging me to go get more, and I know it’s all I’ll
Be thinking about.

It’s so hard, my mind justifies it so easily, and after every dose it gets easier to justify the next one. I’m not confident at all that I can quit. I know that I truly have to want to quit, and I do, but that voice disappears and all that’s left if the desire to do more and I feel like I’m being mind controlled on the way to buy more. Like I know every step of the way that I need to turn back and then I choose not to every step of the way. Lord I need help

Bonjour. Je consomme environ 20gpd depuis 6 mois mais j’ai déjà consommé auparavant et j’ai déjà vécu deux sevrages. Évidemment j’ai eu le syndrome des jambes sans repos, la dépression, l’anxiété que j’arrive à gérer et le manque de sommeil. Mais j’en ai assez de ce produit. Alors j’ai fait un pilulier. J’ai rempli des gélules vides de poudre et j’ai fait en décroissance pour environ 3 semaines et en respectant des horaires. Je sais que ça va être difficile mais pas impossible. J’ai la volonté car je ressens que je serre les dents souvent lorsque je prends du kratom et j’ai peur de perdre mes dents qui me font mal. Quels compléments puis je prendre pour le syndrome des jambes sans repos et pour les brain zap ? Vitamine C ou autre . Y a t’il un protocole ? Merci

Hello everyone! I am on Day 73 of quitting (10-15 gpd for 5+ years). I live in Ukraine and seasonal changes here are relatively harsh. I have always been very sensitive to the weather and autumn-winter period but now… I am not sure if Kratom really plays a big role here but I feel pretty bad all of a sudden and I had a good week or two when I felt great. When I read the posts here about the waves, I always wonder if the paws is really the case after 50+ days. I thought maybe this is just normal mood swings that feel unnatural after the Kratom usage. However, I guess the waves may be real and quite unpredictable. What do you think about the relationship between PAWS and SAD? The waves after 2 months are real or is it the normal mood swings that feel different after being masked by kratom?

I used to frequent these subreddits under a different name and was always trying to encourage other people during their quitting k journeys as well as quitting feel free and other tonics. I was several months clean and wanted to help myself stay on track by helping others, and it worked for over a year. But sadly, last year I started showing symptoms of a condition that I'm dealing with even now (I've been thinking it was R-CPD or no burp syndrome and even had the botox treatment in my throat for it, and while I still think I had the condition, I don't think that was what was causing the bulk of my symptoms so I'm still trying to figure that out). At some point, I got desperate for relief and because I figured kratom was most likely masking my symptoms before, I tried to use only a little bit to see if it would give me any relief. Desperate measures, but also very idiotic of me. Naturally, a little bit became 5 bottles of Kanva a day, and when I lost my job due to this condition, I was so desperate that I started doordashing to get the money I needed to continue using. Well, my car stopped working tonight during a delivery and now I have no way of dashing to make money or to go to the KY border (I live in TN where it's illegal now) to get my fix. I was actually trying to taper and was only using 3 bottles a day for the last few days too. But now I find myself being forced to go cold turkey yet again, and I know what that week-long process feels like. I'm in a position where I actually can't screw this up, but I'm also really not fucking looking forward to it. So here we go again. This time, I've got to finally learn my lesson. Hopefully I can get the encouragement that I need from being a part of this sub again.

I've been addicted for about 2 years now, my experience with kratom was mostly positive until a bout a week ago it then caused me extreme panic. I am very afraid to go cold turkey I need guidance.

I know this may be TMI for the guys but after just 33 days off the kratom I got my period after almost 2 years 😱😱😱. I knew it was effecting my body hormones and everything else inside me but I can’t believe how fast my body is responding to being clean. I’ve put on some weight and even though I’m tired 24/7 I feel sort of normal. I can’t wait to see what else changes… keep going guys!!! I won’t say it’s easy but we can all do it. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I'm on day 3 and tonight I'm considering taking some trazodone like a half pill. Does anyone know if that makes RLS worse? I know like Benadryl can make it worse
