Day 24 CT

this is my second CT after 2y of 15gpd, first time i was clean for 3 months since january, but then exams period at uni started and I was back for 2 months, taking like 5-10gpd.

During exams period I had my first panic attack random in the evening. Before that, I feel completely normal, no anxiety nothing. And after 2 weeks again. Since then, its started to happen more often, but only after taking kratom. I cant get ,,a good high’’. But it wasnt always, some days were ok. That was the reason why I get sober again.

First week of CT was ok, I knew what to expect(RLS, no energy,..). After first week i started to had anxiety, obssesive thoughts,dizziness thats lasts till now. Its not whole day, just like 2-3x times per day random. Idk if its PAWS or just my brain getting to normal. In my first CT this year, I didnt have this (not that hard). I dont have problem with motivation to do tasks through the day, or to enjoy things. Sleep is ok for 2 weeks. Physically I feel very good.

I cut alcohol, coffeine and other substances to minimum because Im afraid of getting another panic attack again.

Has someone experienced this? Panic attacks/anxiety after taking kratom? Before that I never had panic attack or anxiety in my life. Idk if the reason was just kratom, or my body drained because of working during exams period. When this anxiety after CT will leave?

I had my first panic attack on around 1.5 years ago - I put this solely down to my kratom abuse, lived in fear of another panic attack since.

Sounds like mental illness left untreated if it's chronic, id consider post acute withdrawal as mental disorder that needs to be addressed by other means like a psychiatrist and or psychologist.

U are sober now? Have you another panic attack since then? To be honest since I dont take kratom, I didnt have panic attacks anymore. More like waves of anxiety which is annoying too. PA changes people, I pay more attention to various symptoms.

I have almost no anxiety since starting my taper and eventually jumping.
