Day 4 taper share
I got swept up in a kratom habit that turned into an addiction because I just honestly wasn't really taking it seriously, which I regret and realize was just dumb of me. I just minimized it and said "oh it's in the coffee family and not much different than taking a vitamin." I now realize, largely from this sub and other research that this is just wrong and I was being naive. So first of all thank you to you all.
I was at 19/20 GPD and have tapered down to 12 GPD after reading the great taper guide here, for so far 4 days now. I have had some periodic headaches and have woken up after 5 or so hours of sleep, with what I would describe light RLS but in my upper body. However I have been able to get back to sleep after 45 mins tops and have been averaging 7-8 hours of sleep total. Overall today I am feeling the best so far, which is encouraging.
In 3 more days I plan on tapering again to 6 GPD for a whole week, then down to 3 GPD for roughly 2 weeks, depending how I feel. I am planning to allow my body at least 7 days to adjust to the lower amounts because I just don't think I can afford CT.
Would love and appreciate any advice/other similar experiences if you have it. I am ready to just stop this shit and remove this load off my shoulders.
Thanks again to you all, this community just has impressed me.
