Seen a lot of RLS posts so hopefully this helps someone. 3 years ago quit a huge kratom powder habit over 60 grams per day. Got gabapentin from quickmd. Gabapentin made the withdrawals about 80% easier. Ive quit large doses of kratom 12 times for reference. Didn't sleep for 5 days post quit last time. Gabapentin got me 8 hours on day 1. Wont quit without it now. I got it from quickmd. They are still around but idk about the price. They didnt take insurance last time. Gotta add I found even small doses of magnesium supplements made gabapentin not work. Before gabapentin I megadosed magnesium for RLS. So I tried both that time and didn't work together. Some people here say gabapentin doesn't work, I get it. Everybody is different for sure. But for me wds are 80% easier.

Every time I mention it people say that it can causes wds itself or its addicting. To that I say I only used for 3 weeks daily then stopped. There were no wds. Maybe if I went longer. It was also a lower dose 900 mgs per day split into 3 doses but was prescribed a lot more. That dose cut out the RLS completely for me. Someone posted a few months ago they used gabapentin for 2 months and didn't get withdrawals. Personally I don't find it addicting it makes me feel foggy which I don't like lol but worked for kratom quitting. To each their own! **Worked with 7oh BUT at a higher dose. Lower doses of gabapentin didn't really touch the RLS from 7oh for me. Tbh I can't remember the exact dose I used for quitting 7oh so sorry about that but it did work eventually. Hope this helps someone!

Not making a competition by any means as we all struggle in our own way, but quitting 100gpd was more brutal than any opiate I have used daily for years. It was fucked up beyond just normal opiate withdrawal. True as balls opiate withdrawal but worse in a lot of ways. Not sleeping a wink for at least seven days on end and wishing to be dead for the first few days. The RLS and depression and hot cold waves and all the other random fuck, wanting to end it. Then go to the doctor and they treat you like they have never dealt with a real person in real pain before. The way doctors treated me while I was in the worst experience of my life was surprising to say the least. They didn't do anything to help. I asked for gabapentin, the doctor said no. From what they said, they really wanted me to be in pain. Like it was amusing to them. Like "that's for taking drugs idiot that should teach you!" Wife said the nurse was extremely judgmental. I had a hard time walking. Stumbled out of the doctor's office and fell on the ground in the lobby while the staff snickered. They didn't bother to help.

I dont want to go through that again although I'm probably pushing a lower dose now like 40 grams with an unknown amount of 7oh. Ive never quit 7oh by itself, usually quit 7oh plus kratom powder. Last time I quit was a PAWS adventure that lasted months to a year or more . Then relapsed. Feel its impossible to quit forever. My body has become a lock needing a kratom shaped key. I have given up at this point and using so much 7oh. Fgure when I am flat out broke, that will be when I am able to quit. I havent tapered the 7oh in two weeks. Wake up in pre withdrawals every day.
