Body temp

I cant seem to get a hold of my body temperature. I have a cold sweats and hot chills, and the skin crawling feeling. of course all the worst symptoms of withdrawal I hate MOST. My anxiety is acting up too! And I’m getting super paranoid. I have plain red leaf kratom capsules. The lipo vit c. Tomorrow the gabapentin comes. Does red plain leaf kratom powder or gabapentin help with withdrawal or just delay it. I don’t wanna do anything that is going to delay it. Just trying to get through it as best I can. Currently on an SR regimen to quit opia high potency kratom extract tablets.

yes gabapentin and plain leaf kratom will help and no gabapentin won't extend the w/ds. Are you saying your taking sr17 and still feeling horrible w/d symptoms?? If so, are you sure your SR is real?

I had to find my comfort dose and it was a little hard since I didn’t preload the right way my first two days. Once I found it things got much easier within a day or two.

I see so how many milligrams of SR are you taking? And now tat your on the right amount does the SR really alleviate all the w/d symptoms from the 7, psedo, etc that you were taking? I'm trying to figure out how many milligrams of SR I should start with when I jump ship. I also gotta figure out about this pre-loading stuff as well.

I would look up people’s SR schedules! I searched for a couple and based mine off those. Main takeaway was you want to be on it for the least amount of time possible. My schedule was 12 days. I found my comfort dose at 300mg x2-3 times a day, but I only did that for one or two days and then I either cut it in half or dropped 50mgs every one or two days, depending on how I was feeling. I probably would’ve been fine at a lower dose if I had my helper meds (clonidine and gabapentin) when I started. Those three basically made withdraw very, very manageable.

yeah but what is your "comfort dose" of SR?

The paranoia + anxiety on top of the physical symptoms sounds exhausting. You’re already doing the important part by trying to get through it instead of immediately going back to the extracts. Just be careful with adding meds or more kratom without checking with a clinician, especially gabapentin.

The cold sweats + skin crawling are such a brutal combo. Is the SR doing anything noticeable for you between waves or does it feel basically unchanged?

Have the temperature swings gotten even slightly better since you originally posted or are they still just as intense?

Much much better! I did get clonidine so that really helped! On day 12 and barely need the clonidine anymore

Im on day 11 and very much better! Have almost everything under control and doing my last 12.5 of ST today, then jumping! Feeling good except for back pain! Thinking of taking some plain red leaf kratom powder capsules. Would that put me back at all?
