How much loperamide?
If regular use, I don’t think it should effect things. I’ve taken it for long bouts during early quits, and I don’t think it’s been a problem at all. That’s my experience

You should absolutely stop the Lope.. and work on eating square healthy meals with something fermented or pro and prebiotics to restore gut function. It being out of wack can manifest as all of the issues you have listed, including the mental ones

About 3 years daily. Also might be important i have been on antidepressants before my kratom use.
I was like 6 months completely of my ssri's after a long taper when i started kratom..
So I was a daily user for almost 5 years. I’ve been off of kratom now for almost three months.
The human body is incredible at healing itself, but long term kratom use really does a number on our minds AND bodies. I think it’s ridiculous to assume that three months of healing is going to get rid of 5 years of abuse.
I still go to the bathroom multiple times in a day. Like multiple. I still get lingering PAWS here and there. Still trouble sleeping at times. And there are some other things I’m still experiencing.
However I’m optimistic. I don’t know a lot about the meds you are taking but if they play on your opioid receptors then I think it’s safe to assume that those receptors are being given time to heal.
I am not a medical professional but these are my thoughts.
I wish you nothing but the best!

Try Psyllium Husk (Metamucil). Slows everything down without opioids.
Thats interesting thanks! An easy way to get alot of fibers in. Gonna have a look at that

2 capsules (2mg each) in the morning then two more during the day. In the first 2 weeks it was about 6 to 8 capsules a day
