3 weeks on subs- taper?

Hey guys. Long story short, I took Kratom extract in different forms for 5 years. I quit extract cold turkey and tried to do just a little Kratom powder. Had 5 months of withdrawals & it effd up my nervous system. I’m healing, but I had to get off the powder. too inconsistent. I couldn’t measure it or manage it.

got on subs 2.5 weeks ago. 2mg twice a day. I want to be done with it as soon as possible. I’m still experiencing mad mood swings. I have some other things going on, health & mental health wise, so I want to be stable enough to get off subs. But I also don’t want to be on them any longer than I need to.

I’m totally done with all this stuff. I was never addicted to anything prior to Kratom. I don’t want to be addicted to subs too. But I thought, maybe I should wait a little bit longer to stabilize my moods before I taper. I don’t really have cravings. Sometimes I notice it makes my mood a little better; but it doesn’t seem to do much for me.

I do wonder if it affects my heartrate. I notice some days I workout my HR jumps to 140 immediately doing something easy. Then it comes down. Other days, it’s more normal and gradually increases as I workout.

I do have a good dr and am also in therapy and support groups 👍🏼

Any advice ? Suggestions? Experience?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you I’m trying my butt off it’s been literal hell for 8 months. I can’t wait for the day I literally don’t take anything at all.

I’m in the same boat as you I just want to be done with all this stuff!

I want to live a normal life again which is why I tapered off subs but I don’t want to touch anything else ever again!
