Got addicted to kratom (again) two years ago. Lost 85 pounds, from a fat 235 at 6'2" to a skeletal 150 On day 4 of CT. Not having a good time. Any strats to get through this quicker? I know how to moderate the WD symptoms but I'm more interested in what I can do to get through the process quicker. Don't just want to lay in bed all day.
I prefer kava but but suck. Just smoke weed.
>>77420979I want to make life better, not worse.
>>77420976I quit kratom because I got in a motorcycle accident and the pain meds took over. When I got out of the hospital I got a weak opioid. The weak opioid actually helped me because i knew it wasnt unlimited. I was a 7 year addict. Other than that, gabapentin will stop the kicks, and weed will stop the irritability. Good luck bro, youre mostly out of the weeds, just keep your head up.
>>77420976Distilled water, vitamin C 1000mg, 2lbs of steak and jerk of 5-10 times (lube is necessary). Basically a cure all for anything.
>>77420976>kratom addictionlmao.
>>77420976>Lost 85 pounds, from a fat 235 at 6'2" to a skeletal 150damn i gotta get my hands on some kratom
>>77420976I got addicted to that shit too. Only solution I found was to taper so slowly I barely noticed. Took me from June 2025 to May 2026 to get entirely off of it. It wasn’t actually having negative health effects but I had a panic attack in the middle of night thinking what if this shit gives me liver cancer or something and I die at 37 so I started cutting it down the next day
>>77420976kratom is gay as fuck to be addicted to barely even a buzz after a week or so just maintaining green powder that stains everythingtaste like shitfrom who knows where with what heavy metalsWD on it isn't bad outside of eyes watering for 2 months straight
>>77420984Quit caffeine
>>77420994 >>77420985>>77421041Kratom is serious I took morphine and got off kratom that way. My back pain I hid was really bad
>>77421067kratom is easy to kick though did you fix your back pain?just got some a month or so ago and it is so fucking annoying
>>77421067if you take it for 6 months straight at 20 grams you are just bored for a few days coming offyou have to be a total pussy to be having a hard time with kratomreal weakling shit
>>77421071At first yes. But after a year it's very hard>>77421077I think I was taking like 30g
>>77421087not really hard once you decide to quitnot having that dogshit powder everywhere and shitting like a rabbit is nice
>>77421077This is just wrong. It causes extreme restlessness that will keep you awake for days
>>77420985thanks man, glad you're free of the sludge. got some gabapentin but not unlimited.>>77420991lmao ok will try that>>77420994>t. guy who's never used kratom for a prolonged period>>77420999nah bro it's because once you start using enough, it fills your stomach and you stop feeling hungry, but at the cost of your sanity. It's not worth it, just stop eating if you want to lose weight
>>77421029that's what I've tried to do in the past and always failed or been too impatient. But congrats on getting off of it, I know tapers work really well for some people.>>77421041yeh no disagreement there but I've had the good addictions too, alcohol and coke, and I detoxxed from heavy use in a freezing jail cell several years back.but no, you're quite wrong about the WDs not being bad. They are the worst of anything. Alcohol WDs are a bitch but they are quick and are intense enough to distract you completely, you just lay in bed for a few days and try to drink water. But kratom is this longlasting deep depression in which you wonder whether life will ever be worth living, and the time passes so, so slow.
>>77421064yeh i'm doing this, caffeine really makes it worse>>77421071how much/long did you use? 120 gpd for years is a lot harder to kick than 30 gpd for a few months.And I've done it 3-4 times by now, it gets harder each time due to kindling.>>77421077who said 20 gpd for 6 months? why are you just making up numbers?I've come off two fifths a day of vodka for multiple years, I'm no stranger to WDs. Kratom is bad in a different way, and I'd argue it's worse for all but the worst alcoholics who end up with DTs.kratom leads to no sleep for days and days and days, painful restlessness, like growing pains as a kid but 15x worse, the most depressed mental state you can imagine with literally zero positive emotion or motivation, and it's just relentless for weeks and even months, in a lighter form.if you got off it easy, I'm happy for you, but it can absolutely get bad with prolonged use of large quantities, and particularly if you've gotten off it multiple times, as it gets worse each time.>>77421087>>77421091you get it
>>77420976You can taper from maxretard levels of drug use which for kratom is like 30g or 40g a day? Heres your plan faggot:>Taper. Like a 2-4 week taper. Aggressive taper up front, like halving your dose every 2 or 3 days. Stretch & plan these lesser doses throughout the day. A lot of doses with a much smaller daily intake. After 7-10 days you can reduce but optimize for function, e.g. one tapered dose in morning to go to work/school, one at lunch, one before bed to sleep. If you aren't being productive Take advantage of these doses to build feel good activities like exercise. I recommend running because you can schlub feet forward in a way lifting weights you can't but Up to you. I have also heard jacking off helps reacclimate your brain to natural reward pathways but idk, hearsay. As taper progresses, the goal is consolidate those tapered doses into one per day. Maybe at 2w thats only morning and night and by 3w thats one mid day. Once you are in the 1-2g range you can decide to taper further or take the leap. Remember that the benefit of a taper is reducing withdrawal symptoms to remain productive and potentially stopping you from quitting quitting. The drawback to a taper is that your gay junkie brain is not healing as fast a rate as it might and you are straight up delaying the "get to dose feel good" reward. Seriously, start mining endorphins. Also> immodiumYou are definitely not going to get dependent on it like an idiot but since you've said you can't be debilitated it is there in case you misjudge your taper and blast water out ur butt. Don't listen to these "omg fake wd" everyone is different and it is very possible to have serious (but relatively less than real opiates) symptoms. Good luck anon u can do it
>>77421071Oh yeah I did I used bpc157 >>77421090It's really hard to get off>>77421114Yeah I couldn't sleep and I used drugs to cover it up too for sleep and it made it worse. When I used Morphine to get off, that was a walk in the park used like 100mg over a few days of 30g+ daily I wasn't counting I thought they'd ban it then I bought a few kg and it was just there. I've quit other stuff but I don't even touch kratom anymore. I like it way too much and it's too addictive for me
>>77421154>maxretard levels ... 30g or 40g a day?Christ, I wished I'd stopped then. I was at 120 gpd.I already stopped, I'm not going back to taper, that'll just prolong it.I think running and jerking off seems like a good plan, at the moment I'm just trying to get out for a walk for as long as I can stand but ideally in a couple days I'll be able to start running, even if it's burdensome.
>>77421171Oh ok. Yeah I think exhaustion will help get you some hours of sleep even if not a full night. You are motivated enough to quit your insane junkie habit so just try to make ur dumb junkie body do hard stuff. How do you even pound 120gpd down your gullet? Tea? Or extracts? bc otherwise 120gpd would be a 8g dose of shitty powder every waking hour which is utter madness. Cold turkey totally valid ofc shit sucks but is what it is. Maybe read a good book too after you are able to sleep. I found despite anhedonic vibes I could still enjoy a good book
>>77421201I took it my the spoonfull then took a gulp of water, swished it areund in my mouth, and swallowed. 8 grams an hour sounds about right lol it was kinda gross but I got used to it, much less gross than all the tea I'd have had to drink. I didn't even mind by the end of it.Reading is a good call, I stopped reading as the kratom use got worse cause I was too... not wired, but not able to focus on a single thing very well. but that will probably help pass the time and be a bit enjoyable. Good call, thank you.
how to quit drinking
>>77421331Court mandated rehab after getting a dui.
>>77421333Didn't work for me until they put me in quasi jail after failing like 30 drug tests
>>77421114>120 gpdnever got that deep but just titrate the dose down>>77421157>used bpc157what kind of back pain was it?think my is some kind of nerve/compression shit it tingles if i put any load on it (like standing)
>>77421331drink long enough to give up all hope and never stop or have your body recognize that the negatives outweigh the positives think im allergic to it now after years of daily drinking. buzz would only last 45 minutes and would ruin 2 days. decided to get back in shape and got a fitness watch. you can see how bad alcohol fucks you over with it. if i drank i wouldn't be able to walk/jog/run. same thing stands for me today. if i drink i lose days. also find out what your triggers are. mine are feeling bad (anything) and being hungry
>>77421201Ok now I feel dimmer than I ever did before. I did this for years and I'm not that guy. I don't think I ever measured
>>77421810Is there anything else to substitute the same buzz without the destruction it does?
im trying to quit too. life sucks, idk if its because kratom or if my life will even get better without it.
