Day 2 CT from 24 GPD

We'll see how day two goes today. I'm thirty six hours since my last dose of kratom. Moat of yesterday's symptoms were very mild, although it got bad last night when I really struggled with severe coughing from post pasal drip. It hit as I was trying to go to bed. It's like nothing would stop it. And I could barely breathe and was coughing so hard, I thought I would throw up. I finally took hydroxyzine, and some sort of numbing throat spray and put on a humidifier. It really helped. Since I didn't have restless legs hit yet i felt I could take the hydroxizine antihistamine. I wanted to get the coughing under control more than worry about RLS starting. The coughing and nasal drip was absolutely miserable. I would go into huge sneezing fits of like seven in a row.And couldn't stop with such a force mt neck would be snapped around with high velocity. Ladt night felt like covid or flu before rhe hydroxizine. I saw a detox protocol that says for the bad runny nose they give hydroxyizine, which I had on hand. I've also been freezing at times and was yawning a lot yesterday.

I've been having issues for a long time with sleep ever since I i reduced my kratom 2 months ago with a big drop. So I haven't been sleeping well to begin with. But I was able to get around six and a half hours of sleep last night, which i'm really grateful for. I know the restless legs are going to come with a vengeance.And i'm worried. I've gotten them bad before, but i've never going through quitting before. I use my electric blanket when im freezing.

I'm imagining things are going to escalate at day three and beyond for me. Im trying NOT to use subs I have on hand unless absolutely necessary. If I so it will be very low dose and less than a week with quick taper. Quitting is a must-succeed for me!

I actually can't believe the doctor who prescribed the subs, said not to take any comfort meds during withdrawal that it can mask withdrawal. And that way I could start on the subs. He even suggested I get rid of all of my other prescription medications that I need for other things.And that all I need are subs, and if I have other symptoms like neuropathy, I just need a higher dose of subs. And he said, I'll need to be on subs for years or I'll relapse. Well I disagree with this telehealth doctor. My own take is he is absolutely pushing suboxone. He has no idea of my discipline or resolve. I have the biggest motivation in the world to quit and stay off with my horrible health consequences of using kratom that may not even clear up when i quit. I KNOW I will be successful without long term subs.

I'm waiting for the crap to hit bad because ive been using for 8 years. I really wish I was doing cold turkey from 10 or less grams per day, instead of 24 GPD.
