How can I ease the horrible withdrawals of kratom?!


Question: I have been doing it for a year now, daily, but whenever I try to stop I get the horrible w/ds', such as insomia, restless leg syndrome, sweating, shaky, flu like symptoms. Is there anythig I can take to ease the withdrawals until they are completely gone? I REALLY want to quit the kratom more than anything, I am just terrified of the wd's. I do have a script for clonapin, would that help? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Taking klonopin as needed may very well ease some of the withdrawal symptoms, especially the RLS, insomnia, and shakiness. Because klonopin is in a different class of drug than kratom, however, it will not alleviate all the side effects - you will probably still have some flu-like symptoms and sweatiness.

A doctor knowledgeable about opioid addiction and who is familiar with kratom might prescribe a small quantity of a weak opioid, which would help more than klonopin would. It will be rather difficult to find such a doctor in the United States though; kratom isn't a widely known substance.

Of all the opioids you could become dependent on, kratom has a pretty benign withdrawal profile. Be glad you're not dependent on oxycodone.

Best of luck to you, and use the klonopin only as needed. It can be habituating as well, so be careful with it.

Stay away from the Klonapin. Throw the script into the shreader! It is a benzodiazapine and is addictive in a bad way. A friend is on Klonapin and has been trying for years to get off of it, but it has been very difficult to get down tiny amounts successfully.

Found a website that might help getting off the kratom.
