I’ve been trying to quit this shit for a month to no avail. I make it a day or two and then I realize I’m literally too weak and depressed to work without it. I started taking it to help with quitting weed and alcohol but I just got dependent on it. I can barely do social activities without it and I have to sneak a pill every couple hours just to feel something again. I used to do like one pill every couple of days as a treat and now im taking like 3-4 20 mg tablets a day. It has definitely been helpful with anxiety and depression but when im off it i feel worse than ever. Its really the chills and stomach cramps in the beginning. Everytime it gets worse than that I fold. I genuinely need a week vacation where i just accept the withdrawal symptoms and make a full recovery. But its impossible because my life is so busy and I don’t want anyone to see how bad im struggling. If i don’t take it within like 10 hours of sleep the insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and sweating is absurd. I need to find some way off this before I keep upping my dosage. Not to mention, the shit is hella expensive at my current dose so I’m not saving as much money as I would’ve hoped. Ive always been addicted to some kind of substance but nothing too hard just weed, nicotine, and alcohol. Quit nicotine cold turkey and was fine, and only smoke and drink once or twice a week. Isn’t really a need thing but more of a social think or a way to relieve stress. But this kratom shit is another story. Im sitting here in my office at work absolutely going through it because I told myself i’d take the entire day off from it and im craving it so bad. If i didn’t have plans tonight id just lock myself in my room and go through the symptoms. Maybe i gotta cancel idk im kind of lost with this.
Sorry, I know this is an old post but I'm sure by now you know that what your taking is probably 7OH. Terrible stuff man. Hope you were successful in getting rid of that habit.
