r/7ohRecoveryHub

I just wanted to share our experience with Quick MD.

Background- my husband and I have both used kratom since 2016. We have been taking 7OH since 2024. We both take around 1,000mg per day.

Together we’ve decided to make drastic changes in our life. We are very close and do everything together so naturally if one of us is quitting we’re both quitting. We’ve tried to quit on our own. We’ve failed. After lots of reading here on Reddit we wanted to try quick Md.

My husband’s apt was on Saturday. He had a lovely Female dr who was warm and embracing. She was thorough and just so kind. She prescribed him 8/2 Suboxone films and clonadine for sleep and comfort. She explained everything in detail and sent follow-up instructions. She wants to see him in one week to see how it went to to prescribe the rest of the month.She was just perfect.

Husband started suboxone on Monday and is through the worst of it now. He’s going back to work tomorrow on his day 4.

I just had my apt this evening (Wednesday). I scheduled with a male. I did research on every dr and found this one had an expertise in addiction treatment.

I get on the phone and immediately I can’t see the dr. He’s hidden in the corner of the screen obviously this geezer doesn’t know much about technology. His WiFi service was terrible and I could barely make out him asking me for my name and date of birth. He asks me what I’m there for and I explain my history with 7OH and kratom. He asks a lot of questions about other drug use and family history of drug use. I don’t drink or smoke pot - I hate them both. Kratom is all I’ve ever loved and I’m in a mentally rough place giving this up. His questioning was cold and accusatory almost like he didn’t believe me. He was rough all the way around- I immediately did not like him. He talked down to me and I felt judged and stupid. I literally held back tears during the visit - I could also feel myself becoming increasingly angry. I explained to him how awful my anxiety is and the reason for my kratom use has always been that. I said every time I try to quit the anxiety and rls is so bad I give up. He ended up prescribing 4 mg strips for me. (I had checked with the pharmacy about 8mg strips in stock not 4) he prescribed up to 4 of these per day for two weeks then a follow up. He said anything else? I then asked about clonidine or gabapentin to help with the withdrawal and he flat out said “no this is all you need”

BRO I JUST WATCHED MY HUSBAND CURLED INTO A BALL FOR 36 hours … he took 10 clonadine in 24 hours- that’s bullshit.

He said “WE do not prescribe those for withdrawal they are far to sedating together”

You all - I’m pissed- I’m pissed about his bedside manner- I’m pissed that I did so much research to get “the right one” and I failed. I’m pissed that my husband received far far better treatment (he’s a male maybe that’s why). I’m pissed I gave this asshole $100. I wish I could redo. I absolutely will NOT BE rescheduling with him. Quick Md needs to take him off the platform.

I just feel stupid. And angry. And scared. And judged. I will be reviewing my options and continuing to seek help elsewhere.

And now I have to pay more money than my husband because he prescribed a less common drug.

So I’ve been looking at this community for quite a while absolutely dreading the day I ran out. So we all know the ban went into effect a couple weeks ago so I did the “smart” thing and bought out my local shops. $2400 to be exact at a 2 4 1 discount. With 10% off I had well over 5000$ in 30mg & 60mg tabs. My intention was to take my 700mg per day habit down each day little by little but as an addict does I just increased because I had so much of it. Basically got up to 1200mg a day. I was absolutely dreading the last day and all the withdrawals. I’ve gone through horrible withdrawals from alcohol and blues (back when they were real).

Long story short I have access to Subs but those can be addictive as well so I really wanted to see if I could go without. Anyways I’m 38 hrs from last 7oh and I’m absolutely shocked this is the extent of the withdrawal. I don’t know if people on here haven’t gone through bad withdrawals before or if I’m just having an extremely lucky time but all I feel is hot flashes. NOTHING COMPARED TO ALCOHOL or blues. I even slept a few hours. Just push mowed my lawn. Mind you I am using sauna and eating fruit but I’m so incredibly happy I don’t need the subs. That is a horrible drug!

All I’m saying is try to tough it out before you take in helpers. I think a lot of the horror stories on here from folks that haven’t gone through legit withdrawals. If you have experienced them off alcohol or opiates you might be surprised how light this shit is. Scale 3-10 compared to the substances I mentioned. Regardless stay strong!

The quitting 7oh subreddit has unfortunately been taken over by that fly adventurous mod. That person believes that their way, straight edge, is the only way. It kills all discussion of things that can help us get through w/d's. I was banned for listing meds that quickMD could prescribe that helped me in my quits. And then I am unable to post there? Its a shame one person can ruin a community like that. I have a feeling it had more to do with my politics that are completely unrelated to quitting 7oh and i had mever mentioned in that subreddit after lolking at their profile. If fly adventurous stays a mod thay sub is dead.

This is the place to come to get through the process without being unfairly targeted for not wanting to be completely sober by saying kratom is a good step down and maintenence tool. Or saying that THC helps with sleep and the body aches. Etc and so on. I wish you all the best in your journey. But i hope fly knows he is making it harder for people to quit and thank God for this sub.

Sorry for the rant I am just taken aback at why mods get so power trippy on reddit

If you’ve been on this r/ over the last week or two you’ve probably read my story. 2 year addiction 800mg today, up to 1000 at times. I was taking this much just to starve off any feeling of withdrawal, not even getting high in the second year. I quit cold turkey 13 days ago. No taper whatsoever, no Suboxone or other medical help. Just basic vitamins.

What would I do differently if I had to do it again? Absolutely nothing. Going CT and forcing myself get through those first 72 hours with zero relief was a fantastic decision. I needed to prove some shit to myself and did I ever.

Getting ready to enter my second week, well into PAWS I know that this too is just another bump in the road. I won’t relapse because I proved to myself that my mind is more powerful than this drug even when my body was begging for just a little 7 to take the pain away. Not giving in then has made me feel like I can conquer anything now.

If cold turkey is an option for you and you can afford to take the days off work, this is what I will recommend to everyone. Prove to yourself that you can do it. When it’s at its worst, remember who you’re doing it for. I know for most of us it’s our family’s, but even if it’s just for yourself. Just take it one hour, one day at a time. Much love.

I stopped 7OH in June, taking 5-600mg/day. I used SR to taper off. I put my experience into a guide. It includes: introduction to SR, supplements to take, example taper guide & the schedule I used.

Monster SR (the vendor I used) just restocked their inventory. Promo code: GET10 will give you 10% off your order.

I hope this helps someone out there 🙂

I hope I'm not doing anything wrong or breaking any rules by creating this topic here, but if so please just delete or move it.

I'm definitely not trying to promote the brand, I'm just curious if anyone here was also taking this brand, or had any experience with it? That's the brand I pretty much stuck with the entire time.

I'm just hoping there's someone who's been able to get off of it, or if there are any success stories from those who have. I'm currently tapering down, but the Restless legs, or Restless Body symptoms are brutal!

Is anyone else noticing weird things as the fog of 7OH leaves your body? I have zero appetite. I have to make myself eat. I know I am not taking in enough calories. My taste buds are gone. I made some Top Ramen and it tasted like cardboard. I know ramen doesn't really have a taste but this was amplified. What else are you experiencing through your journey?

TMI but I used to be a heroin addict until I quit using subs. After 5 months sober a friend introduced me to 7 o and I’ve been on it for almost a year now. Im extremely ashamed of it and rarely get any high from it. I was so excited for the ban as I can finally quit(I have subs stocked I just don’t trust myself that I will stay sober and just relapse) but it hasn’t gone in affect yet(Texas)and it gives me anxiety thinking about the fact that I spend $1000 a month on it or what it has done to my testorone and libido and weight (I’m 21 yrs old 6 foot 140) I actively started working out and it’s helped with weight gain but still. I finally truly started committed to tapering since I now just get a light buzz and a plethora of depressing thoughts(strange that what I used to escape is now dragging me down). I hate how accessible it is and I find myself thinking about reposing all the time even though I know it’s pointless. I’m spiraling right now with these thoughts and needed to vent.

6 hours from typing this post, I will hit 10 days!!!!!!

Most physical symptoms gone. Very mild RLS remains

My problem right now? Slight insomnia issues...I've had it worse before though. Got 3-4 hours sleep, took me until sunrise to even fall asleep.

Lemme tell ya, every night since the insomnia started, I've been seeing fcking SHADOW PEOPLE at night and it is soooo not cool. Usually happens like 2-4 am ish when I'm just AWAKE in the dark wishing I could sleep.

I know they aren't real obviously I'm not that delusional, thought I'm clearly hallucinating.

It's like a full body experience, the FCKING HAIR on my whole body will stand up, and a rush of icy cold chills, and I'm seeing black shadow people standing like 10 feet to my right just STARINGG, I'm sure glad they just disappear when I look directly at them. But if I don't, it's...they don't disappear, they're just THERE in the corner of my vision.

I'm not crazy 🤣 but when will this STOPPP

Screw this man I'm letting my mental heal and staying sober til my last day.

Much love guys good luck keep pushing lemme know what you're struggling with, sharing helps you're not alone

Had to work in full withdrawal, and hid it from my wife and baby… this was just traumatizing but I woke up with 90 percent of my symptoms alleviated… I now go to church.

I am struggling BAD. All I can think about it using this shit. Please send words of encouragement.

So....I took my last dose 50mg 7 oh 3 days ago. Been take massive amounts of vitamin C and Opia Kratom extract that had no 7 oh. I also have gabapentin. But even after taking tge last of Kratom this morning, I still have no withdrawal symptoms. Am I lucky or about to start feeling it? Right now I feel normal. Legs hurt from work but that's it. What do you guys think?

last dose was last thursday (today is wednesday) and, though the awd are over, i have not slept one wink. it's coming up on 144 hours. i have trazadone and gaba. the traz gives me bad RLS and the gab does nothing to stop it, but they do both make me feel horrible in the morning. i've tried taking multiple baths and showers and, while it relieves the rls for about half an hour, it always comes right back. ive tried cannabis. ive tried every combo of all of those: nothing. no sleep. today was my first day back to work and i felt like a zombie. still worked physically hard (auto repair tech in a no ac shop in the south) tried to take a nap in my truck at lunch and got nowhere. i am going utterly insane. it's now an hour before my alarm goes off for work and NO SLEEP.

help.

So it has been 33 hrs since my last dose of 7oh and I am surviving. The day of my last use I also took 24 MGs of Suboxone which I think stopped the 7oh from having the full effects. I got on Telehealth which prescribed suboxone, Hydroxizine and Chlonidine. This time I waited 24 hrs+ before I took anymore Suboxone and I didn’t have any precipwds. The Hydroxizine has been a lifesaver for sleep so far. Took an hr nap yesterday and then slept from 11pm to 5am this morning. I am definitely taking more than recommended. Today I have taken a total of 12mg subs. Overall I feel like I have the flu with the temp spikes and restlessness being the worse. I am forcing liquids including vitamin C and I have managed to eat some oatmeal and half a waffle. I keep having this moments where I feel real crappy and I am like that’s it I am going to detox but then the symptoms settle a little and I go back to wait and see mode. Sorry for the rambling but I appreciate beyond measure sharing this journey with so many of you

Checking myself into detox for the very first time since today at 11 am. After using Kratom daily for the last 8 years and 7oh heavily for about a year now. It’s time to kick this shit the FUCK out of my life. Nervous as hell but excited too. Wish me luck everybody!

To those who can take time off work to go to rehab I recommend only a 7 day visit at rehab with Suboxone. It helped me like crazy. Your going to still withdrawal a little bit when you get off the subs but it’s not to crazy. Just be prepared to not sleep a day or two. I’m so glad I’m off this shit! It was one hell of a week but way better than going cold turkey. Don’t be afraid to tell your job what’s going on! We all make mistakes and need help. I told my job I was trying to get off prescription pills that were taking me away from doing better at my job and they were all for it. Once you’re done you’ll be happy with yourself! Ask me any questions you need!! 25 years old btw!

Hey guys, just wanted to make a post cause I know other ppl want to hear experiences with the withdrawals. I had been using 7 daily for a little over 8 months. Up to 300-500mg a day. I started a SR taper the last week in July. I work a construction job and have not taken a single day off work. The SR seems to have done me a favor but I’m not getting my hopes up too soon. Not quite out of it yet I’m afraid. But I feel much better than the first week without 7. First few days after jumping off everything was the worst, but still much more manageable than CT. Just felt really anxious and tired. Had some issues sleeping and then stomach issues.

Today I still am dealing with low motivation and stomach issues mainly. The stomach being the worst of it. Was on loperamide the last week and finally off that now for a few days and I can’t trust a fart still but the pain is mostly gone. Been smoking weed every day since about day 5 off everything. It’s helped me a lot. Just to ignore all the little side effects after and during work. Also makes it easy to say “oh this anxiety is just from the weed, it will pass”.

Taking it a month at a time for now. I don’t know if I’ll relapse, probably. But I’m never! Going back to dependency. I’ve made plans in my head to relapse just for a day after a month or two just to keep myself pushing. Hoping I won’t need to. Good luck to you all! This has been one of the hardest tests in my life! I still miss 7 dearly most days but I haven’t had issues with cravings yet. I still have a huge pile of it in my place. Haven’t even thought about using it yet. Just smoke when I feel I need something. Thanks guys.

I want to first start off by thanking everyone and groups like these. I have been abusing 7oh for about a year now. I’ve been on a daily habit around 1,000-1500 mg A DAY!! CONSTANTLY BROKE!!! Getting paid one day, Broke the next! I knew the ban was coming. Went on QuickMd and started my supply of suboxone and every time I would build up the courage to quit, I’d wait till around 12 hours after my last dose…throw a strip in.. and immediately go into precipitated withdrawals. Brutal. However I finally found a method that worked for me so I had to share it. Bernese method, SORT OF.

Monday morning- waited 12 hours, took 8mg strip, immediate withdraws. Took another 8mg strip. Panicked. Jumped back on 7oh, normal daily dose.

Tuesday- Normal daily 7oh dose.

Wednesday (today) - GOT A FULL NIGHT SLEEP, Didn’t wake up in the middle of the night to dose. 12 hours after my last dose, 8mg strip, now about a hour later I feel amazing. No cravings. No withdrawls.

Work in progress so I will update everyone as time goes on today and the rest of the week.

I have roughly 60 strips, 8mg. Plan to use the least amount needed to get through this.

I’m posting this for the people who WANT to quit, but get discouraged after that withdrawls nasty nasty face appears. You can do this. WE can do this!

I’ll keep everyone updated.

Am I the only one exhausted at these people coming out to tell their “story “ and demonizing 7oh?

Like seriously, only in 2026 do mfs take 1500mg of 7oh everyday for 6+ months and then bxxch and moan about it. Victimizing themselves instead of just taking some damn accountability.

Did anybody bother to read the package instructions? It literally said “don’t exceed x amount per 24hours.” And usually that amount was minuscule.

To be completely honest, I do not feel bad for anyone going through withdrawals and it’s well deserved. Hate me for it, but you sit there & think about how much of a dumbass you’ve been.

I did it too, but never abused over 30mg in 1 whole 24hours period. I got very very mild withdrawals. And no, that didn’t mean “when I wake up, I’m going to do some 7oh” it literally meant that if I took some at 3pm, I took more at 3-4pm the next day.

I would most of the time do other opiates or drugs, not just sticking to 7oh from day to day. Some days oxy, some days 7oh, even mixed 7oh and tramadol one day, 7oh and oxy, 7oh and bunch of kratom, etc.

I did not get the withdrawal all of yall are crying about so hard and still got about 6300mg of 7oh in my stash. Still do it maybe every other day or every third day.

Moral of the story: have some damn self control. A bunch of dummies w no self control and no accountability really ruined it for everyone. Once the media had something to grab on and big pharma knew where to attack to get it banned, yall fell right into it thinking anyone actually cared about how you felt. “Oh my bones hurt.” “Oh i can’t sleep” “oh i’m so anxious “ yea dummy, it’s an opiate!!!

Honestly, I think that 7oh is a groundbreaking drug. It feels like oxy, but stronger, except you can take 10mg as well as you can take 1000mg and you can’t say the same about oxy. Oxy will kill you so much quicker and if you ever got to 1000mg, you’d probably be hooked up to a machine or in the ground.

Kratom is just as ground breaking. Get it together yall.
