Kratom taper

Hey guys. So I have sciatica issues that initially flared up around February this year. Been in chronic pain for months. Found kratom shortly after it started and have been using daily about 8 grams minimum to 14 grams max. I now am at 2.8 grams 3 times a day for pain.
I have recently learned a few good stretches to alleviate and loosen up muscles that are causing pain so I'm doing better. Prior to this I would get sick of kratom and waking up everyday slightly withdrawn so I tried cold turkey 3 times, but my sciatica came back too strong so I went back on kratom. This was all before I learned my stretches.
So now I think i can taper off and not have to deal with my pain issues as much by using my exercises. So my question is:
How do I taper and how quickly? I have valium, immodium, sudafed, ibuprofen pm and cannabis which I am iffy about aince if I smoke too muxh it actuslly irritates my sciatica. any suggestions or schedule plan for me? Greatly appreciated my friends

i have heard some good things about kratom but never experienced it - only ganja for me, and coffee - i would be interested in someone's knowledgeable info about it as well.

Kratom is amazing. But shouldn't be used everyday unless your in chronic pain. Way less harmful and addictive than regular opiates. It's an opioid. Basically it feels like the energy of coffee, the euphoria and well being of weed but completely clear headed and stimulating, plus the body buzz of vicodin but zero lethargy if taken in correct doses.
It's been a life saver for me this year but I'm currently tapering off slowly to experience almost zero withdrawal symptoms. Once I'm off using daily, I much prefer it over alcohol when going out aince it's very sociable and no hangover and very clear headed and stimulating if taken correctly. Great mix with weed too. Just don't get addicted unless you have serious pain issues or trying to get off harder opiates

Ah, thanks man - that is great info. Ya I read someone write about it briefly but without a detailed description like you gave.
Is it fairly natural? Doesn't bother me either way really - the essence of what a psych or drug does for me is what (personally) determines its value to me. .
As far as addictive - ya I am a natural resistant sorta . . . pretty nice, really. Have always been this way -
armed with knowledge helps - if anything is addictive, well I won't write a long thing but ya. . .
Definitely I can say at least this much - with total confidence; and a fairly simple thing but hey ya know these things gotta be said from time to time,
that - my dad giving me straight info always, of these different things was very correct and helpful and beneficial in the short and long run - etc. . .
and hey it's my health - so i'm very grateful hehe
part of this was just to general society like i say of course that's fairly simple but ya.
talk to ya again

I've tapered off of oxycodone, hydrocodone and Kratom when I had a 15g a day habit. So all I've done in this situation is take the last dose of your DOC and then 6 hours later take 16mg of Loperamide. Do this every 12 hours for 3times then reduce to 12mg for a day and then 8mg the last day. No problemo. Just gotta get ahead of the withdrawal before it starts. Lope is an opiod but only useful for clogging up your shit tubes and helping considerably during withdrawal.
