r/Quittingfeelfree

For context I was doing 800-1000mg (supposedly) of 7oh a day just a single dose all together in either the mid day or closer to night gradually got up to that dose after 8 months of abuse initially I was fine with even 50mg per day but it went up pretty quickly and all I’d look forward to was copping and getting fucked up for the night to earn a night of rest. Felt like a sick responsibility I had to uphold. I think the last two months was when it hiked up to around 500mg+ range. Anyways I took my last dose on the way to the airport and started withdrawing badly during my layover. Insane fucking leg cramps and restless legs, nose dripping like ajunkie and lethargic as hell i was up for the first 5 ish days straight till I finally caught 2 beautiful hours of the shittiest sleep ever. Day eight now and finally got a full 7 hours of sleep and haven’t thought about it that deeply but I know that I have 4 and half bottles of 2,000mg each 100mg pills waiting for me at home alongside some boutiq dispos too I am trying to figure out if I can trust myself to responsibly use them after I get back now that I’m feeling somewhat normal again. I was considering something like 3 days on and 4 days off? Till it’s finished and it’s also banned in my state in higher dosages than 1mg per pill since July 1st. So reupping is out of the question once that runs out. Please take into account the decreased tolerance when I arrive back and past relevant history. Would appreciate any and all feedback or personal experience. Thanks yall. Peace and love, be safe everyone!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what’s going on with the ban in Ohio and even nationally? I’ve tried looking it up but the article I read just said synthetic versions but it mentioned the drinks will be banned too. It never stated specifically feel frees would be banned but it’s vague and confusing. I’m in the process of weening and want to know how much time I have left to do so if it’s being banned. Thanks!

There seems to be two schools of thought here one is allowing them to a degree, which i fall in, and one is feel free only. For reasons I don't understand, there is a 70h sub, people come here. I just don't like preventing anyone seeking help from askjng.

Hey guys so I quit a year long opiate habit (heroin and fent) about two months ago in part by swithcing to 7oh to manage withdrawals. My stomach has never been so bad. I puke daily, am always nasueas. Any time I move, eat, drink, I feel the need to vomit. I keep vomiting until I don't even have stomach bile left, just dry wretching. I was also an alcoholic for 6 years so I am sure this is also just a result of torturing my stomach for so many years but jesus. Even when I was dirnking a bottle of vodka a day my stomach did not feel this fucked up. I am trying everything, tums, ginger extract, nothing is helping.

Hi guys,

I decided on Friday to make the jump. I went on QuickMD, and due to the fact I grabbed the first app**ointment and hadn't filled out all the forms, I didn't get it called in until the pharmacy was closed.**

**I really wanted to start on Friday. Now tomorrow will be the first day I can pick them up. Funds are tight, especially after I pick up prescription.**

**I have to work Monday and it's a very big day. Need to be 110%.**

**I'm reading of some rough starts. I will also have a gram of 91% powder of my DOC. Hard to gauge my MPD based on ROA but that powder will last 3+ days and it's not sublingual.**

**Its safe to say that I'm likely equivalent to 1g a day. On one hand the dosage has only jumped very recently, to the point my body is rejecting it.**

**Ok. That's a lot of story. If there was a 100% chance I could start subs tomorrow and be in great shape Monday I would do it. I could buy more SR, but that's suboptimal.**

**I'm thinking that maybe taper DOC with the SR I have, until I run out of SR, then jump to subs? It seems like with Subs you can't go back. I want to look at it that way nonetheless.**

**Will this plan work? Will I be fine on Subs? (Many stories seem different and I cannot afford to be sick Monday).**

**Any help is appreciated.**

As titled, I successfully kicked this shit but I had a relapse after seeing some fucked up emotional shit, I'm back to quitting, but I was wondering would normal kratom or extract make the withdrawals from the 7OH more tolerable? I know I can kick extract like it's nothing, but the 7OH is BRUTAL. Do you think this will help? I'm gonna get Clonidine on the 8th

Hey so I would like to let everyone know to be diligent in your caution when it comes to getting off this shit. I stopped kava and kratom intake 3 months ago. Jk I relapsed and now I have to slow down again.
But what I wanted to let everyone know is the physical effect kava has on your brain as well as kratom.

On Mother’s Day may 10th, I was driving away from a brunch with my gf mom. I black out and don’t remember anything, I just wake up to my nice new car in the back of another car.

Well to my suprise as I’m being driven to the hospital, I’m told I just had a seizure that lasted 5 mins . I was so confused, why would that be the case?

Well after disclosing my use, my doctor tells me , oh yeah even tho you didn’t use those substances, the withdrawal symptoms led your body to have a seizure . I was so thrown off, how?!

The doctor explains, opioids or just kratom alone can lower your seizure threshold. And when you quit kava which is basically a benzodiazepine. You will have a gaba tolerance in your brain, and when you go cold turkey , your brain will produce an over abundance of glutamate (the chemical in your brain that makes you awake and reactive) . You can imagine too much of the active, and a lower resistance to preventing a seizure can cause a seizure.

Just letting yall know, if you ain’t feeling well when you stop. Don’t be driving, or doing any high risk activities!

Longjumping_hold_230 just passed away July 2nd 2026. He had almost 18 months clean off this nasty stuff but it wrecked his body and mind.

He could never shake the depression. And eventually picked up drinking again. He died from the damage this stuff and drinking did to his body.

Feel Free is the only drug he ever did. Before this he was 10 years sober. Drinking had been his thing, he got sober many years ago and then one day discovered FF.

What started out as a one a day habit turned into a 12-16 a day necessity. He showed up on my doorstep asking for help almost 2 years ago. I had never heard of FF.

I’ve been in recovery for 25 years. It’s been breaking my heart to see my brother deteriorate and not be able to do anything about it.

Please take care of yourselves once you quit this stuff. Just stopping is the first battle.

So, I'm traveling, I'm about to run out; the place I traveled to banned the sale of my preferred demon, and my only alternative is cat's claw products, which I plan to try when my rations inevitably run dry but have never heard of before today. I'm here for three more days, and then eight hours of flying before I'll
have access to any other help.

Can anyone give me any advice on the wise way to manage WD's while traveling?

I'm a 7-10 FF a day user and just got prescribed chlonodine and gabapentin to help me get off this garbage. Is it safe to start taking these meds while still on that high of a dose? Desperately ready to be done and on the road to recovery.

I literally have my last one sitting in my lap. 2 years.

This s*** took way more than i ever would’ve imagined.

Ive figured out the amount of kratom i was taking in the ff per day and imma break that up into doses deducting a half gram every two days. I’ll still be able to function. It’s gonna be more a mental battle but enough is enough. My life almost fell apart. After I drink this one, I’ll never touch it again. God and you guys as my witness. y’all join me. Posting this for accountability.

And here we go.

I want to give up, I’ve been fighting this addiction for so long and I’ve been trying to taper but the withdrawals even with a taper is so bad. My anxiety is through the roof, I’m out of money, I’m depressed, and quite honestly I hate myself. Idk what to do anymore I just can’t believe this is my life

This is going to sound ridiculous and vain, but aside from the adverse effects on health, wallet and relationships, my other biggest motivation to quit is to get my beauty back. I used to be extremely attractive. Like people would ask if I was a model. Comparing pictures and just looking in the mirror, I have become so fucking ugly. My face sags, I’m swollen and puffy head to toe from inflammation. My eyeballs are asymmetrical, under eyes have hallowed out and are puffy at the same time. My skin is showing lots of oxidative stress and aging (probably from chronic dehydration.) I’m so scared that this is going to be permanent and I’ve ruined my face. Please if anyone has any insight in this let me know what you’ve noticed as far as loooking healthier after quitting (I’m taking 1/3 what I used to take and have noticed a very slight improvement.) Trying my hardest to taper off completely but kind of getting stuck.

So what I was thinking is that because they’re both opiates, they both bind to the same receptors although they’re not the same exact thing I think it would be smarter if you’re trying to get off because there’s a massive overdose risk on fentanyl and OxyContin is extended release so mines to receptors for longer so You can take one 10 every five hours just to stay out of the withdrawal just to say, I am not addicted to opiates I will take a Roxy every few weeks, but I never use more than once every two weeks because I know repeating can cause dependence that’s how I stay outta withdrawal and keep a extremely low tolerance so I can still enjoy that sweet sweet high that every addict chases it has been around 3 weeks since I took one and im going to be getting high today on 15mg of Roxy immediate release I’m gonna pop 10mg and snort 5 that way after about 10 minutes when I start to feel it, the onset is gonna be super strong and if you’re trying to get off of fentanyl, but want to still get high then I recommend you just do this because your body only becomes dependent if you use multiple times within a short period of time and this way, I still get to enjoy the best feeling ever while skipping withdrawal

Nationwide van going into effect on July 31st.
It’s gonna be a bad time for a lot going to be hard. It’s going to be painful, it’s going to be depressing, and it’s going to be something worth doing. Some of you may have already heard about it. This needs to be something that was spread the news on. I don’t want anyone to be blindsided when they walk into their vape shop or gas station and see that the shell are empty. Good luck to everybody stay strong.

I quit Kanvas 2 plus weeks ago was daily user for 2 years give or take, also took 7-oh for a while stopped that months ago too. Just using kratom now and honestly the dude effects haven’t been too bad besides the horrible insomnia. I have no issue getting. Asleep and then sleeping a couple hours but like clockwork wake up at 2-3 am and can’t fall back asleep. Any help on this would help I’ve tried everything I can think of, the lack of sleep is brutal.

It was a few months ago. But thought I should post since I’m actually talking about the thing the sub is actually about.
And not fentanyl.
Or 7OH.
Or oxy.
Or apparently illiteracy?
Yall. It’s a FF sub. Read before you post.
It’s so frustrating to want to connect with a specific community and have people regularly sabotage the sub because they don’t care to read or follow the guidelines.
So I quit feel free and I’m here. Because the name of the sub is r/quittingfeelfree.
Thanks for coming to my talk.

Tennessee banned FF July 1st and I was not at all ready - i thought.

This is my second go around with FF, this most recent addiction been going on about 8 months and the last couple months I was averaging 7-9 a day. I knew it was a problem again and wanted to quit so bad but I was so scared of going through the fuckin terrible withdrawals again.

I had a huge wake up call last weekend because I had about 10 FFs in me for the day and was drinking alcohol pretty heavily and I ended up going into Serotonin syndrome, lost my vision, body locked up, trembling in the floor puking all over myself. Felt like my organs were shutting down. Luckily I finally got to the point i could hold water down and got enough down to get up and get in the bath. But was deathly sick and dehydrated for the next 2 days. That was me just being so stupid.

Anyway, I knew I had about 5 days before the ban so I bought a case of FF and 2 smaller bags of normal kratom powder (ive never done normal powder). So i tapered down to 4 FFs and then 2 FFs in 4 days and now ive completely swapped to just the powder when I wake up and before bed and I had absolutely 0 withdrawals. All the anxiety I had was just from anticipating the withdrawals, but only symptoms I had was upset stomach but no anxiety, no RLS, no loss of sleep, and im only on a very small amount of powder. But before my morning dose of powder Im not withdrawaling at all. But when I was only on FF id wake up at 5am everyday withdrawing. I couldnt sleep in if I wanted to bc i needed a FF to even fall back asleep.

Has anyone else tried this and had the same outcome? I plan to be off powder by Monday, should I expect withdrawals then?

Last year I stopped CT and wanted to be put out of my misery, so I know how bad it gets. But I write this in hopes that it could work for you all as well. Lmk your thoughts

(Also, i have been megadosing Vit C and Magnesium)

I have a note in my phone where I add the money I would’ve spent on kratom. I was taking 2-3 feel frees along with multiple mitra 9 powder packets and am trying my best right now to taper (im taking 1/3 of what I used to). I quit the feel frees 15 days ago and my money saved so far is $795. A couple hundred is from a few months ago when I tried quiting. So about $500 in 15 days saved from no feel frees. So there’s a win
