r/SR17018

The sr transition looks different for everyone and every substance.
So Sr is a powerful pain killer, it doesn’t cause euphoria, however user reports clearly state it obliterates most acute physical withdrawals in most situations in the data I have collected as well as other sources.
Some report, it does nothing for the mental anguish or cravings.
In my data, I find it does do something helpful for the mental anguish. It’s a pattern I have noticed in the 7-oh, mgm & synthetics that once they have loaded the sr for 1-3 days. Clients will no longer set an alarm to dose in the middle of night or wake up in middle of night in withdrawal, therefore days 3-6 they are sleeping a full 8 hours.
Getting restful sleep is a powerful dynamic as it affects the nervous system in a positive way.
I call this period of time “The Pink Cloud” because you will hear people say things like “this is a miracle” & “it should be illegal to not offer this to people detoxing”.
However I also noticed a trend around day 7-12 the mental cravings circle back and this is what I call
*The 🤡SR Trickster🤡. *
Clients will be on top of the world from where they were 10-12 days before, however the 🤡SR trickster🤡 comes in and will fool them with the thoughts: “oh I wonder if it does reduce tolerance” or “I still have more than enough Sr 1 little slip won’t set me back” or “that was the easiest detox ever I found my get out of jail free card(SR)”.
All of those tricks the mind will play for a dopamine hit.
That is why I stress be intentional, don’t stray from the plan and follow up with Ibogaine.

I've read that SR can help withdrawals and can also lower tolerance, with warnings that using opioids after taking SR can be dangerous because it reverses tolerance. I've seen people post about it helping withdrawals, but I haven't seen any reports that it reduces tolerance after. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a reduction in tolerance due to SR.

I’ve been taking 1000 mgs of 7oh & I think I fucked up w/ only buying a gram of SR. I’m suppose to get it tonight. My boyfriend & I are splitting it. Can’t take tabs during it, can’t order more SR yet because we are completely broke. I have 100 suboxone strips. Could I take it w/ SR or is it going to block it. Also, suboxone doesn’t work on me for 7oh withdrawals. I’m just worried that 1 gram of SR won’t be enough so I thought i could space it out more with suboxone.

Hey everyone hope all is well. I have found so much value and support here that I thought I should also share my experience with those who want to hear about it.

I’ve been on 7oh since October-ish last year 2025 so about 7 months and I’m finally ready to give this whole sr17 a shot. I’ve been taking about 200mg - 300mg daily of 7oh up until today, I’ve only taken about 100mg.

I’m currently on day 2 of loading SR, using 50mg every 8 hrs, 3 times a day. So far it’s been pretty easy. Today I’m noticing I’m just VERY tired.

I took about 60mg of 7oh this morning when I woke up at 5am to get ready for work. I’m a personal trainer so I only had one client today which is great so I can rest.

At 9:30am I took another 40mg of 7oh.

So far only 2 doses of SR17 which was 50mg each so I'm at 100mg of SR17 for the day. My next dose will be at 10pm before bed. Which will be 150mg total for the day.

At around 11:30am I came home and knocked out! Barley woke up at 2:30pm.

So no withdrawals yet just really tired which I guess could be considered part of withdrawal but at least it’s not the skin-crawling anxiety feeling or temp changes so I’ll take it!

I just really want to sleep which is a good thing I guess. My thought behind it is if I’m sleeping I won’t be taking any 7 which is a great thing!

I’ll keep documenting how I’m feeling to hopefully help and inspire some of you who are in the same boat. Thank you for reading up until this point! Much love and we got this!

I was on 7oh, then switched to SR for 7 days but I didn't taper it and now I'm having withdrawals from the SR. I couldn't take it anymore and took some plain leaf kratom and it gave me some relief. How often should I dose this and for how long?

Can anyone tell me how long after I have successfully used SR to taper off 7oh are my receptors reset? Is it immediately?

Hi everyone. I (21F) am chronically ill. I began taking 7-OH to help with the pain that I experience all day, every day. At first, it did help with pain and it allowed me to feel better. I was spending like $25/day. Unfortunately, it’s been about eight months and I have a horrible addiction to 7-OH that has completely ruined me financially and destroyed most of my relationships and friendships. If I don’t find a way to get sober from it, my husband will leave me. I’ve lied to him, stolen from him, and betrayed him so much. I want more than anything to be freed from the chains of 7-OH. I’m hoping someone here will see this and give me some advice on how I can finally get sober and STAY sober.

Here’s my dilemma… I work all day, every day, and I can’t afford to take a day off. I’m already donating plasma, babysitting, and pet sitting on the side to make extra money, so it’s legitimately impossible for us to get by without me working my regular schedule. I made the horrible mistake of trying to go cold turkey and I almost had to call an ambulance. Since I’m on such a high dosage right now (I go through around 750mg/day… I know, I know. Believe me, I know!) it’s extremely unsafe and unrealistic for me to detox cold turkey. Last time, I literally began seizing. So, I know what you may be thinking… “Have you tried Suboxone?” I sure have, and even after I followed the instructions PERFECTLY, I felt exactly the same as I did detoxing cold turkey. It was so terrifying.

So, with all this being said, I’m desperate for anything and I think that SR is probably my best bet… especially since I need to be able to work. I know it’s going to suck. I don’t expect to be out of pain or to not experience ANY withdrawal symptoms, but compared to cold turkey or Suboxone, it’s a walk in the park (according to what everyone on Reddit & Facebook says), so I HAVE to try it.

If you’ve been in a similar situation as me and you used SR to get sober from 7-OH (or if you have any advice/tips for me), please tell me everything. I want to know what your experience was like, where you got the SR, how much it was, how it felt compared to cold turkey or Suboxone, etc.
I’ve seen so many people say that this stuff works well and I am hoping and praying that it’ll work for me too. I just need a way out of this. I never wanted to get “high”, I just wanted to feel better.

Thanks for listening. 💔

I used a step down approach. Used sr for 23 days to get off suboxone and got down to just using Kratom leaf and some feel free. Been off sr for 10 days now and feel like I’ve stabilized back to Kratom. Where I was about 6 months ago before I started suboxone. The Kratom works, but I’m not so happy taking Kratom. I want to be off all of it.

How long should I wait before doing sr a second time to get off the Kratom? It’s been 10 days. I didn’t have and “sr withdrawal” but was definitely a bit off kilter for 5 weeks from the suboxone withdrawal. I assume the Kratom cessation withdrawal should be shorter and easier. I might only need a 5-8 day sr protocol.

I don’t want to risk getting dependant on the sr in the second round.

Thoughts on how long a break I might need between sr attempts?

Hi everyone! I have 5g of SR and am looking to do a comfortable taper off of a 16mg/day sub habit. I stopped my subs yesterday. I was thinking of of 100 mg twice a day for 2-2.5 weeks while all the bupe leaves my system, then tapering off the SR for a week … but I really have no idea!

Can anyone who’s had any success chime in to assist? I’d really appreciate it!

Ive been using fent for about 3 months strait everyday, im now up to a half gram to a gram a day. How much sr will I need? Thank you for your help!

I am hearing stories of people not being able to feel the effects of opiates after using SR. What’s your experience? How is your tolerance after the fact. Thanks guys!

I’m about 110 hours out from my last Suboxone dose. I jumped at 2 mg on the 15th.

So far, I’ve had zero withdrawal symptoms and haven’t missed a minute of sleep, which honestly feels kind of wild.

Up to this point, I’ve taken a total of nine 50 mg SR tabs. For context, I started with 3 x 50 mg tabs daily for the first day or two, then dropped to 50 mg twice a day, and today I’m down to 25 mg twice a day.

For those with experience, does this taper seem too aggressive given that I’m coming off Suboxone specifically? Any recommendations on how long I should stay on the SR before tapering off completely? I keep waiting thinking this cant be this easy, I may be in for a rude awakening in a week or so but so far zero discomfort.

Would really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

I'm on day 2 of Sr and I still need 7oh to not go into withdrawals. Is this normal? Last time I used it it was way easier and I didn't need as much. I am on more 7 this time around so that could be part of it. Before starting the Sr I was about 300 to 400 mg of 7 a day and I'm dosing around 50 mg of Sr. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

So I'm coming off a pretty high 7oh dose.. like 300-350 mg a day.. I know this isn't that high compared to some people but for me it's up there. I've quit before with Sr and I was able to jump off 7oh on my second day of talking sr. But that's not happening. I'm on day 2 of taking Sr with my 7 and I still have restless legs. I'm taking a little over 50 mg of Sr a dose with about 50 mg of 7 and I'm not able to go longer periods of time in between doses so this is what's worrying me..I'm definitely sleepy and that's something I remember from taking Sr last time. I know the Sr is from a good source so I don't think it's that. One thing that might be part of the problem is I was doing MGM about a week before I started this but was able to quit for a whole week and I figured that was enough time.. could this just be the lingering MGM?

Okay so I started preloading 7 days ago after being off H for about 2-3 days, followed by megadoses of morphine, by preload day 3 I was at my standard prescribed 200mg morphine dose.

I was then able to taper off morphine 50mg a day and the big switch from morphine to SR was slated for Saturday but had to witness dose 100mg of morphine which made me realize my tolerance has certainly shrunk.

A couple things I want to note, I definitely experienced some withdrawal (I initially started a WD diary but gave up about 3-4 days in) during preload and tapering but over the long weekend I have not felt physical withdrawal although I am feeling very sleepy, unmotivated, anhedonic.

This stuff is impressive but I'm curious to see what happens as I begin to taper down now. I found myself needing to take 350-450mg of SR daily to complete the full switch whilst I only needed 150-300mg of SR while tapering and preloading.

I'm a little bit stuck at a crossroads because I don't know whether to tell my doctor at my next appointment or not. If I don't, I'd need to probably take some morphine right before my next appointment otherwise it won't show up on the urine analysis. If I do, they may ask me to check out of the program to allow someone else in who needs it more.

I wouldn't mind not ever going back to the OAT clinic again except for the fact that I don't have a family doctor yet, and have my ADHD medication being prescribed by my OAT doctor so yikes, Idk what to do exactly.

If I choose the route of deception, I'll need to witness dose once a week at least and that's already proven to carry some problems with it. When I witnessed my 100mg on Saturday I went to tim hortons while they prepared my ADHD meds and nodded off in my car after eating my breakfast for 1.5h when I walked back into the pharmacy I was like "how long was I out? I just fell asleep in my car." And the pharmacist was like "oh just about 6h, of course he was kidding, but I had been out long enough for them to notice; they said it was 1.5 - 2h.

So that's where I am now, very much impressed and satisfied with SR but unsure of what it means for my life in general as I try to move away from a life that revolves around opiods.

In addition, getting off H and morphine is making me realize how much I fucking hate my job (although it pays marginally better than most other opportunities in the area) and in general this fucking town. I suddenly got the urge to make a bunch of major changes in my life and I remembered that's what I was like before discovering heroin, always dissatisfied, always looking to escape my current situation whatever that may have been, never really content.

I want to taper my 7oh dose down and reset my tolerance. Ive heard mixed opinions on whether or not that works. Do you still feel your 7oh while preloading taking the sr? Or am I going to feel terrible right off the bat. I have to continue to work and I work in sales. I just want to get my tolerance reset to ether never take again or go back to plant based kratom.. I appreciate kratom as I have adhd but I do not want to be physically addicted anymore. I was one of the people that were tricked into thinking 7oh is kratom and now that I understand that it is not and is to be treated as an opioid I want to get off of it.

Looking for any resources I can to help me get through this.

I so badly want to start SR17 but I feel like I'm going to screw this all up cause I have the worst of luck and I saw in the sub that some have died on this journey.

I absolutely cannot get past 2 and 1/2 hours without needing to dose. I've been dosing insane amounts of kratom and than 7oh every single hour for the last 9 years. Switched to every 2 hours and the last 4 days have been hell. I cant sleep more than 10minutes. I can't eat. I feel like I'm going to faint every time I stand up. I need to be done. I'm desperate enough to try suboxone, but would really like to avoid that route. How do I dose with the SR? Do I continue taking my 7oh every 2 hours and just take slightly less or do I take it every 3 hours and than every 4 and so on?

Also I need to know where to buy if someone can PM me.
