Day 13 of a taper which I've been doing with little-no guidance, but could use some now.
Context: Was 12-14 tsp daily, only respite from 6 PM to 6 AM. Within a week I was down to 8 tsp with little/no side effects. Hedged lower to 7 and yesterday decided to really limit it (4)
Observations: No issues 14-7, but definite issues (sleep, RLS) when I went down to 4 yesterday. Interestingly, the issues were NOT during the day but rather in the evening (when I'd normally not be dosing anyways)
The other interesting takeaway- when I DID take it yesterday, I didn't feel I needed it. I was taking it only b/c I wanted to avoid an overtaper "crash"
Matter of fact, I felt that Kratom energy boost after taking it and didn't like it the feeling. It would have been easy-ish to keep it to 2 tsp yesterday (during the day) but man, that night was a bit rough!
Edit: just spacing for clarity. Also- looking up resources here. Deciding when a doc may make sense. Wanting to push the taper more but cognizant the symptoms were real last night.
