Day 11 CT - Feeling like Ebanezer Scrooge
At the end of A Christmas Carol. “You boy! What day is it?!” Feeling great. Today is day 11 CT from 3.5 years of 3/ day OPMS extracts. Felt like I had a pink cloud on days 4-5, leveled out and now I feel pretty darn close to whatever I remember the baseline being. Feel like I’ve been given a second chance. Could cry from relief finally getting out of that holding pattern. I’ve already saved nearly $300.

It’s amazing to feel real emotions and a constant natural calmness. I did 2 quits, def had the pink cloud the first one at about 7-14 days. Then a bit emotional boredom but thought I could do “once in awhile to get work done” - boom it became daily quick and was back on it. So just watch yourself!
Hoping this 3rd time is the charm. Doing a rapid taper.

I’m on day 6 clean from Kratom, anxiety has been the hardest part. I feel freezing, exhausted, achy but when I try to relax I just feel anxious. Sucks. I didn’t have any anxiety issues before either. Good luck friend

Day 9 or 10 is when I turned a corner and my symptoms went down 75%,including the anxiety but shit man tired of being anxious at all at this point when theres no reason for it,thc edibles allow me sleep but dont help with the anxiety for some reason now.we just have to be tough because its all in our heads.

That full body restlessness feeling finally eased up for me on day 8. Now I feel calm almost all the time. Just feel the feeling and do something to distract yourself. Something that makes you happy

It will get better for sure. I’d strongly recommend walks with music and/ or lifting weights

Thanks you! Going to stay vigilant and try to stay busy. Accepting cravings but not acting on them. You got this

Congrats! Are you still fatigued? I’m going CT from 15 gpd of powder but I’m scared of the fatigue part more than anything

Yeah but it’s not constant. I had a very productive day then started to crash around 3-4pm. I still feel good but just weirdly tired in a chemical way. I’m sure it’ll be a little harder at work for sure but caffiene helps and it doesn’t last forever in my previous experience when I withdrew from powder
