Withdrawal seizure
Welp, after countless tries to quit on my own, getting down to 86lbs and so weak I ended up falling twice - busting my head and lip open and cracking a tooth…finally told my family the truth so I could quit. We all decided I’d go cold turkey and detox at home but within 24 hours I could tell something wasn’t right. Went to the ER and ended up having a massive seizure while detoxing (I’d never had one before, so we know it was the Kratom withdrawal). In the end I decided to go for 30 day residential treatment and have continued on Suboxone - day 55 clean today!
This shit is no joke. ER doctors barely knew anything about it or how to treat it. I know now I never could’ve done it on my own and I’m glad I listened to my body, please do the same and know it’s OK TO GET HELP! Wishing you all the best from the other side and beyond grateful this shit is behind me….
