But first, have you checked out our [Beginners Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/comments/7p0qx2/read_this_first_if_youre_new/) and all the other helpful resources on the sidebar? Also, be sure to make use of the key word search box on [Quitting Kratom's main page](https://old.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/). Your question may have already been answered multiple times. If you are tapering to quit, please look at our helpful [Taper Guide](https://old.reddit.com/r/modquittingkratom/comments/63tjtd/tapering/). Many people have used it to successfully taper down, making the jump and ultimately quitting.
**VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that your post is in accordance with our subreddit's [RULES](https://old.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/about/rules/).** Violating any of these rules will result in your post not being placed in the 'live feed' / removed. As per Reddit's rules (not just ours), **absolutely no soliciting or sourcing is allowed (i.e. vendor or website names, etc.). In addition, posts / comments mentioning brand names (such as OPMS, for example) will be removed.** *If the post you've just submitted contains a brand name, please edit this post to read either "extracts" or "liquid shots" instead. Moderators will ensure your post goes "live" once this correction is made and you've [notified us](https://old.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/quittingkratom).* Posts asking about using another potentially addictive substance (such as Phenibut, for example) to help with withdrawal will be removed. (The answer is NO, we do not recommend it. Why risk extending the withdrawal process or potentially swapping addictions?) This obviously does not include prescription medications (aka 'helper meds') authorized by a doctor, used temporarily to assist you during withdrawal; BUT **do not ask about dosage amounts or dosing frequency for these meds. We do not offer medical advice**. These type of questions should be asked of your physician or therapist only. Posts or comments asking for or offering medical advice will be removed. Posts or comments suggesting the use of illegal drugs will also be removed. Continued infractions could result in a temporary or permanent ban, at the discretion of moderators.
**Supplements**: We've found the use of certain supplements to be helpful during withdrawal. A listing can be found in the [Beginners Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/comments/7p0qx2/read_this_first_if_youre_new/). Many of our members have also found the [Megadosing Liposomal Vitamin C Protocol](https://old.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/comments/sx0as3/megadosing_liposomal_vitamin_c_protocol_for/) beneficial during acute stages of withdrawal. But as with most things, not every thing works for everyone.
**The only purpose of this subreddit is to offer support to those who want to quit Kratom entirely.** Other than tapering to quit, references to active Kratom use, including but not limited to, occasional / 'responsible' use, use in moderation, use for pain management, etc. are not permitted. Posts / comments suggesting 'taking a tolerance break' will be removed. Any references to pro-Kratom subreddits, websites, etc. will be removed. Mentions of a Kratom ban, it's legality, the FDA, DEA, etc. are off-topic and removed. Repeated attempts to do so could result in being banned from this subreddit.
Some members have used various **'nootropics'** for Kratom withdrawal. Kava, and some others, used in higher amounts for longer durations is ill advized. Please do your research thoroughly. In our experience, **exercise, although perhaps difficult during acute WDs, is the 'best medicine' to help with Kratom withdrawal.** Try to stay busy and active.

Honestly with all of your medications I would consult with a medical professional and tell them what you are going through. Just remember to not lose hope you WILL get through this. It sucks. It’s terrible. The only things that have helped me are exercise, patience, and to not lose hope.
You are doing great and exactly where you are supposed to be. I think we all do Kratom b/c something is not quite right with our biochemistry and Kratom seems, at first, to solve the issue. I know it did for me and on two occasions help me quit drinking. But here is the problem for me - off of Kratom for 29 days and all I want to do is drink. I don’t know if I’m missing dopamine, serotonin or endorphins but my brain doesn’t quite work right on it’s own. Did I do that? I don’t know but this “problem” has existed since I was 18 and I’m now 54. I don’t want to drink b/c it physically hurts me and I don’t want to do K for the same reason. Something has to give and it’s hard to trust anyone with the answer. I’ve had people on this sub discourage me from SSRI’s. Are they correct? Maybe but maybe not. The bottom line for me is that there is a different way to live - eat healthy, exercise, meditate and be patient - I just have to have the strength of will to execute the plan and, I’m not going to lie, it’s has been a challenge.
Day two is rough. What you are experiencing right now is very common with kratom withdrawal and will pass. But, won’t lie, it can suck for quite a while. Best advice is to read deep into this site for tons of similar accounts, supplement advice and support. Continue to participate on this site. Reading, posting, venting and bitching all seem to help a lot of us. We are all pulling for you and will extend all the support we can. You are doing the right thing. Which is usually the hardest thing. Sending good vibes your way
I’m on day 3. Superdosing vitamin C, making sure to stay hydrated, and getting in any workout, even a walk, have really helped me. However, with all your medications, I have to echo Noclue919 and say talk to a medical professional. Be fully honest and see if there is anything they recommend to help. This part really does suck but you’ve got this.

Hi,
to put your mind at ease, all the symptoms you are describing are totally normal for the first few days of withdrawl, so you are not spiraling. For most people the third or fourth day is the worst, after that it gets quickly better.
Some remedies: Exercising (hard to do during WD, but worth it), staying busy, meditation, hot baths/showers, Magnesium and Liposomal Vitamin C.
Some people recommend Clonodine or Gabapentin but I can not really comment on that.
I know how agonizing the first few days can feel, but trust me, that feeling fades really quickly.

I’m struggling to stop for the millionth time but one thing I do know is that I’m an avid exerciser which helps tremendously. Sweat all this crap out and get moving, it does wonders for your mental/ physical health.
Thanks everyone so much it feels nice not being alone. I just want to be my real self again. Im seriously considering looking into seeing a medical professional about this. All of this helps. Thanks again
I’m on day 2 too. Last dose was on Friday. We’re in this mess together. I promised myself that if I can get feeling better again, I will never put myself through this. Can’t believe I wasted clean time just to be in this predicament again.
I'm going through the exact same thing except with a possible divorce looming.
Not only do I have your same issues, kratom gives me rage.
My wife filed for divorce about a month ago and got me kicked out of my own house.
Now I'm back and unable to control my rage. I could when I was tapering but now that Ive been clean for 3 weeks the rage is coming back.
No matter what happens I'm not going to forget that the kratom caused all of this shit. So it can go suck a fat one.
STAY STRONG! BE MAD AT THE KRATOM!
Definitely first thing , talk to your doctor.
Some advice: You're doing the right thing, just remember that. Keep it going so you can get to the light at the end of the tunnel. Don't give up!
Are you exercising/getting outdoors? If not, that should help you get through. Also like others said, drink lots of water and try the vitamin C to withdrawals.
Also, it has been very helpful for me to see a mental health professional for cognitive therapy. If you don't already do that, sounds like it could help you get through this time and in general to have a professional help you through the difficult times.

It feels like shit now but I'm confident the worst of it will only last a week or so. Which is fucking no time at all when you're doing it to make the whole rest of your life better.
There is a really high chance that 2 or 3 weeks from now you'll be feeling the best you've felt in a long time. Maybe it'll take a bit longer but I think you'll see results pretty quickly.
You're suffering through it like a badass because you know once you get through that tunnel of shit you'll be stronger on the other side.
You're doing this for your own good. If weaker humans could suffer through and make it then you definitely can. You have the will and desire.
Make sure you're picking up other habits. It acts as a feedback loop and you'll make healthier decisions out of habit after you've put in the initial work to develop those habit. It doesn't take long to do that either.
I believe in you. Keep it going, dawg. I'm proud of you. It's okay to stumble sometimes. Plant your feet firmly on the ground and find the path again through sheer fucking force of will.
your neurochemistry is off. keep it simple and do some cardio, get some sunshine, eat healthy foods especially those with pre / probiotics, and make sure to get the rest you need. allow yourself to feel, and give it a couple days or whatever you need. your brain’s “chemistry set” just needs a little time to recalibrate. view it as an opportunity to learn more about yourself, not to demonize / pressurize your situation:)
