PSA caution naltrexone and kratom

So this happened to me a couple years ago, kinda funny in hindsight. I was prescribed naltrexone for my alcoholism and while I was in alcohol WD, I took my first pill (spoiler, didn't work for me after trying for more than a year).

What I neglected to remember is I was also using kratom daily (like a lot), so the nalt put me into acute kratom WD as well an hour after I took the pill and realized oh fuck this isn't just my regular WD.

It was wild shit, I was uncontrollably yawning constantly for like the entire day. My legs and arms were itchy and spasmy and cramping. I had to take huge dumps felt like my body was ejecting from my ass. And of course it hurt like hell plus with the other WD. Boy do I not want to ever get hooked on an opiate!

Friends, if you use kratom do NOT take naltrexone you gotta kick that shit for a while first lol

Night sweats? I bought a bedjet on sale and it's a huge help!

A few months ago I decided to buy a Bedjet and the perforated sheet (while I was in a sober steak, which I'm again starting over... But anyway) when it was on sale after looking at them for years. I get brutal night sweats while tapering or in WDs, like sleep with two towels and more on the floor to change them and my pajamas during a really bad WD. But after using the thing over several cycles it has made such a difference that I don't need to do any of that anymore.

It's basically a blower that pumps cool and warm air into the end of the bed, the sheet is optional but distributes the air better it's awesome! A little expensive, but way way cheaper than the ones that pump a fluid through tubing on the mattress.

I like a pillow between my knees, but I had to stop because that part of my legs would be so clammy while the rest of my body was dry, but that's a small thing.

Bonus is when I wake up but don't want to face the day (you know, the ones that end in y) I can pull it over my head and still breathe comfortably lol.

Taking another serious go, so back to day 1 after I tapered

63 days is a record for me for at least 5 years. I've had some extreme fatigue over the last month, but it's better than the usual every day sick and shaking and looking for the next bottle. And when that little bitch starts telling me, hey chill out you'll be fine with a few I try to remember all the time spent on the bathroom floor retching and my BP going sky high, and the anxiety taking over and driving me to the store, y'all know. Here's to the next 60, then 600, then 6000!
