r/stopping7oh

Bleh. Idk peeps.

I just wanted to let my fellow friends in this community know that I started subs last week, and while everything is going well, I did a pee test for my doctor today and I noticed I was positive for k2. I don't know if anyone else thought about that possibility or maybe I should have, but it threw me off a lot. I tried that shit 20 years ago but never again. I guess the fact that they're just throwing whatever chemicals in that shit should tell me that it is possible. Stay safe yall.

Yea I discovered limitless and dropped opia and was on 100 mg everyday like clockwork for 3ish months and I was hella scared because I was getting to the point where side effects were just outweighing benefits. The vibes weren’t there.

First things first. The only way it will work is if you have a reason. Mine is personal to be but it has to mean something to you. I saw 7OH was messing with mine so I quit the same day.

For the first week I just took like an ounce a day of plain leaf Kratom. I just got it from the smoke shop. If I took like 8ish grams every 2-4ish hours I was actually pretty ok. Not high but not hating myself.

The thing is you have to stabilize at that dose for like 4-7 days then drop. I messed up all my previous tapers because i didnt know this. Well AI told me. If you dint know you dont know.

Well i stabilized on plain leaf then i realized having all the excess powder around when i was lowering my dose was too tempting and in the past i would go up which was just an excuse to eventually go back to 7OH…

So I eventually (I think this was at the 2.5-3 week mark) stabilized my dose to one smoke shop Kratom seltzer a day it was like 100 mg.. I stayed there until the 4 week mark when it was a good time for me and made the jump.

Kinda shitty ngl but definitely 100% for a fact nowhere near as bad as trying to cold turkey 100 7oh. And actually it was actually a pretty good fucking month lol. I was still technically on something but just not being on 7oh and at the same time not being in real withdrawal made it a good month tbh.

So I actually stopped taking 7 a little over halfway through the last day i took it. So on Sunday i took some around 1/2pm. It was half of what I usually take. I am not a huge user, just became an everyday one.

Went from breaks between then breaks that I felt crappy on to the most recent one which was not fun.

It ain’t worth it people.

I have been absolutely crashing, wanting to sleep but hyped up inside. Have used a lot of comfort meds.

Today I woke up to day 3 and my energy is somewhat back. I wanna do something but my mind is wandering and I don’t know what to do lol.

I am hoping I’m rounding that corner finally. 🍀

Lots of the threads make it sound scary - but I think I’m taking a relatively low dose so will withdrawals still be that bad? I have my entire spine fused and since it’s impossible to get pain meds, it’s been a lifesaver for me. But 7OH became illegal so I switched to mgm and I feel like it doesn’t help as much (I’m probably not taking enough) and it has side effects I don’t like.
I took 7OH for a few months, usually about 20-30mg a day. I’m now taking MIT-A and it has 13mg of mgm-15 per serving that I take.

What’s my best course of action? Should I switch just to mit? Should I go back to 7OH and then taper off from there? I have plenty of meds to help so I don’t think it’ll be too bad - like Valium and Lyrica. But I also have to work so I can’t be feeling like I have the flu every day for weeks.

I have arthritis and nerve pain. And whenever I try to taper off, my regular back pain and arthritis get cranked up to like 100 and that’s been the hardest part. The low-grade fever, runny nose, feeling like shit- I can handle that. It’s the pain that’s hard for me and part of that is because I already had such severe pain to begin with and that’s how I ended up here. So when the withdrawal pain compounded with my regular pain, I can hardly walk or function.

My reason for wanting to be done is that it’s no longer covering my pain and I have zero desire to increase my dosage. So I’d rather be done with it and find something else. Off subject but do any of those chirp tens units actually work? Been thinking about going that route instead of medication.

But please, hopefully it’s not as scary as some of the post make it seem to be. I feel like I’ve been responsible with my dosing.

Has anyone ever used suboxone for like 5 to 7 days after quitting 7oh then quit the suboxone immediately? How did it work?

I would prefer not to become dependent on the suboxone if possible so im wondering if I could quit taking the 7oh and wait for the withdrawals to set in before subxone...then immediately taper the suboxone down to nothing for the next 5 days

How long after my last 7oh dose can I take suboxone without getting precipitated withdrawals?

And if I do get precipitated withdrawals..how long do they last?

If I get precipitated withdrawals, should I continue taking more of the suboxone to get relief from the precipitated withdrawals or what do I do at that point?
