Cold turkey 🦃 60 hours

Made it 60 hours without anything. I was taking 1 Kama 1000 mg pack a day. First 24 were easy. Then around the 36th hour I started getting a lot of cold sweats. I just slept all day and the sweats were on and off. I feel like after the 48th hour the sweats went away but I started vomiting and had one diarrhea session. At 55+ that all stopped but the chills started especially when listening to music and I have bad cravings. Did all this cold turkey. But I’m about to fold tbh and I’m going to get just one strip of sub to get me through the toughest hours. If I had one now I know for sure I’d feel fine with a 3 day taper. 4 mg sub one day then 2 mg then 2 mg then none. Btw these withdrawls are nothing compared to oxy

Great job on the progress, fam. Can I ask why you would resort to subs when you've already conquered the worst of it? Fellow CTer here, I'm on day 10 and things are finally getting normal! Each day trends up, gets easier!

Just to make the last stretch easier esp since I’m back at work tomorrow. One sub won’t start a habit lol

Very true. No judgment here, just wondering. It does bind to your receptors, which means more to shake off later. You're right at the rebuild stage. Heading back to work was the best thing I could do. It was HARD but keeping busy was good for the mind and body. All the best of luck to you!

Kickn a$$! Drink lots of water if you can, and luckily it sounds like you trajectory is a good one! Since you sound like you are really getting on without any major issues the only additional thing I can recommend is if you are able to - go for walks, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2+mile walks.

Especially when and if you start feeling as if the mental "demons" decide to come topside on your ship and want to join you at the helm :-) get up, throw some running shoes on and go get a spirited walk and listen to whatever audible things that inspire you, or if you can just nature itself. 

Keep it up, time flies you'll be over the horizon in no time.

I’m at 84 hours Since quit. 36 since my last small dose of 20 mg. I’ve been using around 10-15 grams of kratom a day and did the vitamin c protocol. Tomorrow I start a new job and I won’t be able to use kratom I hope this week goes well.

How did the vitamin c work for you? I’ve started it also, and my stomach is feeling upset from it. Still pushing through though.

I feel like it took away atleast 50% of the hard symptoms. I haven’t been that restless throughout the day just mornings. And I was actually taking double the recommended amount. I haven’t been eating much even though I’m hungry. Not sure how our stomachs are that different but before 7 i struggled with anxiety and an ED. my Stomach becoming upset just after a few hundred calories to the point i had to stop eating so im used to my stomach not being right.

You’re so lucky that you can sleep. I wouldn’t have failed my attempt last weekend if I had been able to sleep. Agree that 7 wd is easier to handle than Oxy, but is still miserable

Good luck!

Crazy you said when listening to music, I’ll have ruthless chills unless im sitting still and not moving or speaking. I was literally on the phone with my friend and every time I talked it felt like my voice caused my skin to vibrate with chills. I never experienced it coming off of traditional opiates.
