I need to taper my Kratom usage

I am/was in the same boat as you. Up until late last week I was taking 6-7 grams 4 times a day. First dose soon as I finished my drive to work then another at lunch. One when I got home about 4pm then a before bed dose. This has been for 3-4 months straight

I realized I need to taper off to reset tolerance but I'm running a job as a foreman so I can't be zapped of energy. I tried to go cold turkey and I just can't. There's no way to sleep at all I get terrible restlessness. So o started a taper.

Friday last week I measured out 4 doses instead of 7 grams I did 5.5 grams 4 times. Saturday I did 5 grams and same Sunday. I've been dropping .5 per dose each day. Which has me at 3.5 ,4 times on Wednesday. This seems like the best taper schedule.

I have to order a coffee around 9-10 am to hold me over until my lunch time dose. And I do get very tired after work. But I've managed to push my 3rd dose from 4 pm to 6pm and my bedtime dose back to 10pm.

I'm hoping to drop down to 3 doses a day by next week. And next week on Friday I plan to go no Kratom so if I have any withdrawals I should be over them by Monday before work starts again. If you have any questions or wanna talk pm me as it seems we are in similar situations.
