r/quitting7oh

Hello everyone I would like to vent and share my story and see if maybe anyone could help me. Before I started taking 7oh I had my life together for the most part. I’m 21 years old, i was taking kratom daily but that didn’t ruin me financially and in every-way like this did. I’ve tried to quit several times I tell myself everyday this is it this is the last time but as soon as the withdrawal hits I can’t do it. Idk how to explain it but I literally can’t handle the withdrawal, the second I even start to feel it I immediately go into panic mode and can’t do anything. I have a full time job and relationships and going through withdrawal is not doable I just can’t do it. I’ve been spending $100 every single day for almost a whole year and taking about 1500 mg a day. I’ve taken out multiple loans and gotten multiple credit cards I have completely failed to pay back any of them and I am now being sued by debt collectors and so in debt I literally feel like my life is over. I’ve tried going on suboxone but I go into withdrawal so hard even with the suboxone I just can’t do it. I’ve been trying recently to switch to the MIT Therapy extract shots and that also is not really working. I just want my life back I don’t know what to do. I can’t tell my family or my girlfriend because it would ruin everything. My relationship is going so amazing but this is the one thing holding me back. I’ve been thinking about maybe switching to the mit therapy shots and taking a small amount of the 7oh pills and possibly tapering that way but I literally don’t know what to do. I feel like my life is ruined and irreparable.

I’ve avoided making this post for a long time. I quit maybe 6 months ago. I was doing great, feeling amazing, had my life and energy back.

My wife is bipolar and after switching to a new medication she tried to kill herself. This put pretty much the entire emotional, psychological, and physical household needs of not only our five children but also her on me.

On top of that I’m a bit of a mental mess myself, I just suppress it and shove it down so my family can lean on me. The shop less than a block from me sells single packs and while my wife was admitted in the behavioral hospital i bought one. It felt so fucking good. You all remember that first time, it was like that all over again.

It started with a single every other week, then it was weekly, then a couple times a week. Three weeks ago I got a free five pack as a frequent customer reward and just collapsed. Im up to 40-80mg a day depending. The withdrawals are brutal when im not on it, the headaches, you all know, i don’t need to go into it.

Im such a piece of shit. Im a fucking junky ass piece of shit and i cant even tell anyone because my wife is still working through med changes and fragile and im still carrying the weight of my entire household. Twice now i bought a pack and broke it up with the intention of tapering and both time I just ate it all almost like i wanted to harm myself for being so stupid.

This is my only chance to get off 7OH/Psuedo I have a definite way I could get off of it , I have an extra $200 laying around right now and I've got a nights worth of 7OH/Psuedo , I know the consultation is $99 which I have , I just want to know how much suboxone is going to cost because id only have $100 left over I really didn't want to spend all of it so I could possibly uber to go to the pharmacy get the suboxone and then come back home, or possibly get it shipped , I don't know how much it's going to cost to get it either way , I don't have health insurance , do any of you guys have any experience with this in how much it's going to cost I really want to quit , I want my life back :/

Gotta say folks, i understand now why so many people want this garbage off shelves completely. For a little context, I’ve been using 7oh for the last 7 weeks or so, ingesting between 60-100 mg per day and decided to, hopefully, take a break, starting today.

So far the withdrawals are some of the worst I’ve ever experienced in my life, physically I would say the worst. Lightheadedness, runny nose, watery eyes, restless muscles, in general, feeling like absolute garbage. I want my body and mind back and wonder how long the physical symptoms are going to last.

Spent my last dime, absolutely no funds now. I have some vitamin c though so I'm gonna do that method to finally get off this shit. I would like to do the 3 day taper but yeah no money. Am I fucked? Withdrawals are already kicking in and I'm scared. Pls help

The title says it all I guess I decided to spend the last bit of my money on my subs so I can kick this beast. I have been taking 500 to 700 mg a day but I need to quit now or I will most likely just stay on forever. I got bridge script filled and I dont get paid till Monday. My sub script 8mg should I cut these into 8ths? What would you do?

Officially day 14 off 7oh. Day 5 off of suboxone. These post acutes are killing me. Not even sure if they’re post acutes or just straight up withdrawal from the subs, but man I have zero energy. Everything feels heavy, every task too big. Work this week was the worst thing ever. Just so depressed, I have propranolol that’s been kinda taking the edge off the anxiety and have been loading up magnesium and vitamin C, but nothing helping the feeling of just wanting to slump in bed and can’t get comfortable. If I were to take a small dose of subs tomorrow just to have one good day, is that a horrible idea? Something tells me it obviously is. And I’ve been strong for this long why ruin it for one good day (which, could turn into 3 “good days” then 4, then so on with how addictive my brain is.) just needing someone to tell me what I should do.

Been taking 100-150mg of 7 for about 4 months and quit on Monday night. I’m pretty much 3 days into wd bc of a rescue dose yd for a doctors appointment but I’ve been using regular leaf kratom during the week to still be able to work. I am not going to rely on any future rescue doses I want to be done w ts.

I was planning on not taking any leaf kratom on the weekend to prevent dependence on that but my gf and I had a trip planned this weekend. When I told her the situation she was pissed asf but kinda supportive i guess? Anyway I told her I’d probably have to take something this weekend to be normal and instead of saying we would cancel she said ok bet?? Also the trip is with another couple she is friends with (idc about either of them really) and we’re going to the beach (it’s supposed to rain literally all weekend in Maryland where we’re going) so like shi gonna be ass anyway.

I also have a big work week coming up next week and wanted the long weekend to reset. Also studying for cpa exam in two weeks so I can’t afford to be withdrawing for another week. What do we think guys.

Update: we’re going and I got some perc 20s in case I need them. I don’t want to go back to 7 and will mainly be relying on kratom I hope The idea with the yerks is to combat the anxiety for the first day to get the ball rolling then sustain with kratom. Ik I let u guys down I let myself down. She’s is unapologetic and furious at me. She said she doesn’t feel bad at all and that I deserve what’s happening to me. Ig she’s not wrong but I feel like that’s crazy to say when I’m tryna make it work anyway.

Just a friendly reminder to flush/destroy your shit! I’m on day 10 and even on a low dose of suboxone the cravings come in waves and they are STRONG. If I didn’t trash the rest of my supply I could easily see convincing myself that half a tab won’t do any harm. I understand why the relapse rate on this stuff is so high. I threw away all of my 7OH I have plain leaf still but I havnt wanted to use that at all but the 7OH I might kill someone for it. This 7OH is way different than plain leaf. It’s a crazy feeling. You may think you have strong will power. I think I have a strong will power but if I knew I had a tab in my house I might have folded. Just don’t put yourself in that situation. Just my .2 cents!

I know this is probably a really stupid question but I'm just trying to figure so much out right now and realizing that, despite years and years of experience both firsthand and secondhand, I just don't know as much as I should..

If you're dependent on 7oh then take small amounts of a different opiate for a couple days will the withdrawal be the strength and duration of the new drug introduced or the 7oh? I'm losing my mind going through so many scenarios on how to quit and get my life, and my wallet, back together before it's too late.. I have no idea what I'm doing..

I don’t know what else to do. I don’t have the money for medical detox or rehab, but I can’t figure anyway else to get off of this shit without losing my job. I finally broke down and told my partner last week about my 120mgpd problem.

I reached out for help through my university and went on a medical leave. The substance abuse counselor shopped rehabs for me and put me into contact with Recovery Centers of America.

I want to just hunker down at my partners place and go cold turkey, but I think I’ll lose my job calling out like that.

I toured the facility and it’s really nice and they said they’ll put me in a private room for free (I have severe social anxiety which has only been amplified with my addiction to this shit).

Another problem is my explanation of benefits is going to be sent to my mom in Florida and I don’t want her to know. We have an awful relationship and this will make it worse. I’ve never lived in florida and I can’t change the address with my insurance because it has to be in florida. Does anyone have an address in Florida I could get this sent to? You could just throw it away.

Also, I need to feel better mentally ASAP and I think a sub taper is only going to delay that. Should I say no to Suboxone?

Any advice about a medical detox would be great.

Just checking in, because I said I would. We're doing a lot better! Still feeling a little creepy crawly sometimes, and sleep is hit and miss, but I'm sleeping.

I wanted to apologize to anyone who read my previous post about using another substance to mask WD's, especially if they considered it, or worse, tried it. It was STUPID, and we aborted that mission the next day. Just gangstering the CT, also NOT recommended.

There's a ton of great people on here that have reached out personally. I never thought I'd get so much support from Reddit.... If I haven't taken the time to message you, it's only because I've been blah about even checking my email, much less messing with my phone.

Good stuff: It wasn't as bad as I thought. Day 3 was the worst, but I managed. I'm chilling outside on my property, we're out in the woods, and that's helpful. I've been playing my music again, and my wife has been playing her games again. She will handily beat you at Mortal Kombat, BTW.

I want to say something inspirational but I'm just gonna keep you guys updated and informed until I have some more time under my belt. Out of respect to those still struggling. Much love 💪

Just hit 11 days since last dose and day 12 starts now. Insomnia and some anhedonia are the only symptoms remaining as actual WDs ended after 3 days. The sleepless nights are really starting to get to me and it hasn’t been getting much better. Yesterday i had been awake for almost 100 hours and still could not sleep last night. I went out and got some OPMS gold capsules in the hopes it would just give me one night of sleep and figured the risk-reward of taking them was worth it. I didn’t feel much except for that dizzy kind of feeling. I did fall asleep at around 2 am but I don’t think I’d attribute that to the OPMS capsules. I didn’t want to take them but I don’t think I’m at any risk of relapsing and desperately needed sleep or else I’d have no choice but to relapse. Because I got sleep last night I’m anticipating only getting a few hours over the next several nights and am a bit nervous about that. Sleeping pills haven’t worked very well for me except for restoril but I don’t want to get addicted to anything else I’d rather just live like shit for a while and get totally clean eventually. Just wondering if anyone can give me advise for sleep? I’ve read and tried damn near everything, so unfortunately magnesium and melatonin recs are not going to cut it. Ambien hasn’t even worked for me.

Jumped from 200-250mg a day 7oh to subs. First dose yesterday 2mg then 2 a few hours later then 1 a few hours later. That may have been too much I'm not sure. But I feel fine today no symptoms, haven't taken any subs today, do I just wait for symptoms to come back then take a smaller dose or just get ahead of it and take 1mg? Edit: Also I'd like to drink tomorrow, is alcohol a no go on subs or what am I in for?

How long did you all wait from your last dose to take your suboxone

During withdrawals, when I sleep I constantly turn and kick my legs. What helps with this? I found weed helps but that’s it.

Like the title says I finally bit the bullet and through a caseworker I met going to narcotics anonymous I managed to get a 2 week bridge script for Buprenorphine/naloxone 8mg /2mg. I pick it up today if all goes well. I have work today so not taking a maintenance dose wasn't an option I can't be sweating and trembling at my new job. I have been taking 85 to 100mg of 7oh 5 times a day for maybe 7 months now. I used 7oh to quit taking pressed pills I was buying on the streets but now 7 is just as bad of a problem. I buy the stronger 7 stax options so I know there is mgm in it based on the test results I can find online. I want to know how long I should wait to make sure I won't get crazy sick. I finally landed 2 jobs and I really don't get much time off to plan me getting ill around. This addiction landed me homeless so I can't afford to miss work. My little sister is letting me stay in her apartments spare bedroom but I need to get out of here ASAP. Im almost 30 living rent free with my kid sister because of drugs and my lack of self control. I start feeling withdrawals maybe 3 to 4 hours after my last dose. Do I really have to wait 24 to 48 hours? I really dont see myself being able to do that.

Welp, six days behind me. I'm inside seven today. I think I slept about 6 hours sold but I'm not sure. My" lights out" cocktail of supliments has me waking groggy AF. I need to run to the store to get some Redbull. I kinda feel ok today, I have absolutely nothing that I need to do so zero pressure to motivate if I don't feel like it. I didn't wake up soaked in sweat at all today, so that's gotta be something good.

I don't know what today will bring or what I'll do today. Im sure there's some boring chores that need to be done. I know here and now, I will not be taking any 7 today, I'm still running on how disgusted I am with myself and that product to hold onto early sobriety. But I need to be careful using that feeling for too long, I know short term self loathing can lead to bouts of depression in a lot of people. Maybe I'll personify my addiction. He looks a lot like my local SS guy and has the same accent. That's what I'll do for now redirect.

Anyone reading this looking for positive vibes, stay the course. Each day is an improvement over the last, even if you don't feel like it is. Give your mind and body time. We've been riding it hard, taking it to"11" all the time for a long time and it's healing.

The only way out is through...then the real work- recovery works if you work it. Have a plan.

I was doing so well and then failed myself. I had quit for over 100 days but then suffered a lot of awful things in a short time span. A storm caused a tree to fall on my my house. I lost nearly everything I have. Insurance has been great, so I am in a rental and they are going to pay to re-build it all. It's just there were things my grandmother gave me before she died that are destroyed now. Things my dad gave me are gone. I wanted to go back to 7 but I still stayed away.

Then my grandmother who I was extremely close with passed away unexpectedly. I was devastated. I wanted to take 7 but I didn't. The final straw was my husband getting into a stupid argument with his boss and getting fired out of nowhere. Now, I have to hold everything together. I have to deal with his depression over being unemployed. I have to pick up a ton of extra hours at work so I can help make up some of the money that we lost.

I broke down because I was feeling close to suicidal. I bought some 7 and, of course, it made me feel a ton better. Everything suddenly felt great and my problems seemed so far away for a while. I tried to keep it very small in hopes that things won't get as bad. I've only been taking 25mg a day and leaving it at that. Refusing to go above that no matter what happens. I've been able to stick to 25mg for over a month now. But I also know that I have to stop again. I can't let it go as far as I did the last time. It's just really tough when your life sucks and everything seems to be going wrong. THC just wasn't cutting it for me anymore. I get it is bad to be dependent on anything, so I gotta do better. Things are just really difficult right now and I feel alone and exhausted. I start wondering if it is even worth it anymore. I am lucky to get a few months of feeling well before it all crashes down again. Anyway, I do apologize for the self-pity rant i'm doing here. I'm not usually like this. I just needed to get all of that out. I am going to stop again after this last few are gone. I know I will just go back to being miserable but I guess that is at least better than being addicted and taking way too many again. Thanks for reading my "woe is me" rant.

I just need to function at work so I just need to know what is the absolute lowest I can take and still function? I don't care about a high, I don't even care about the stupid energy boost I always relied on.. I had taken a small amount of mgm15 and that kept me out of withdrawal without getting high yesterday but I'm afraid to use it any further.

I was taking 500mg or so per day of 7oh with a splash of Pseudo (whole pack of Kama "1000" a day which, I assume, is closer to 500mg a pack)

I don't mind feeling off I just can't be projectile vomiting and trapped in anxiety hell whiles at work
