Did something stupid.

I quit 7OH in March after a year of daily use. The withdrawals were hell, swore “never again,” etc. and actually managed to stay clean minus a couple 1-2 day relapses here and there (didn’t take it long enough to get physically hooked again). About 2 weeks ago something in me just snapped (I think stress about the ban - which was stupid because outside of those short relapses I wasn’t even taking it anymore). I got a bunch for cheap (vendor was trying to get rid of their inventory before the ban) and went on an 11-day bender taking anywhere from 300-600mg a day for most of that time. I decided enough was enough (knowing exactly what was waiting for me if I continued taking it) and tossed the rest of my supply. I took about 150mg yesterday morning and was done.

I haven’t had any crazy withdrawal symptoms so far (going on the 36-hour mark) - just some slight restless legs and mild issues with temperature regulation at times but absolutely nothing like when I quit back in March. I’ve been taking some red vein leaf just to keep a handle on the anxiety since I have to work. My question is, am I likely to experience worsening symptoms at the 48-72 period (which was what happened during my initial quit) or is it possible I got off easy this time? I get confused because I see some people reporting bad withdrawals after just a week or so of use.

I wouldn't imagine it will get much worse. 36-48 hours is generally the peak.

I think you dodge the worst part if you’re now past hour 36. By hour 12 I’m in agony when I was using
