2 Weeks into taper

I was starting to notice withdrawal symptoms in between doses so I decided to taper off and stop for a while.

I use Kratom to manage my chronic depression so it’s been a case of tapering off whilst finding other things to boost my mood, it’s not always easy and everytime I drop the dose it is difficult. However I am trying to see it as a challenge and being quite strict with myself in not stepping back up.

So far so good, I have gone from 4g 4x a day to 3g 3x a day and as of today I am at 2.4g 3x a day.

On 2.4g I am not really getting much of a boost from the Kratom but I am going to stick with it, at least there are none of the horrible withdrawal symptoms some people seem to experience. I just feel quite tired and demotivated.

I strongly recommend 5HTP, L-theanine and black seed oil as a supplement combination, I’ve also found ashwaghanda to provide some relief from anxiety. But please do your own research!

I’ll update early next week when I plan to go down to 2g 2x a day before I stop completely, this has been a slower taper than the guide suggests but I think it’s best to take as slowly as you need. Going away in a couple of weeks which is giving me a deadline to be clean.

All the best – Siegfried
