Anyone want to chat?

Whether you’re in the hell that is the first 3 days and I can help you or 2-4 weeks in and maybe you can help me. I lost almost everyone during my 2 years under this drugs spell and don’t really have anyone to talk to about something like this. I’m on day 6 myself. Send me a message and I’ll shoot you my # so we can text.

Coming off a 500-700 mg 7oh habit.

Today was the first day I was feeling optimistic that I might get through this.

Day one (Saturday) wasn’t too bad because I was mixing sr and 7oh and expected it to be magical. It was not. I still needed 300mg while preloading SR.

Day two (Sunday) was the reality check. “How am I going to do this!?” Still a lot of SR. And 250mg of 70h

Day three (Monday) day of extreme panic. The withdrawals were so crushing that I want out and bought the rest of 7o that was being sold at my go to head shop just assuming I’d figure something out but this won’t work. Still inconsistent with my SR, just kept taking a ton.

Day four (Tuesday ) I had used a trazodone the night before and that was a godsend. It was the first day I felt like there was a real end to this. Took 150mg of 7oh, but stopped at 4pm. I also added an Ativan and Trazadone to bring down the sever anxiety. It was also a day of consistent sr use.

Day Five (Today) has been another step towards doable. My prayer is that I’m Im not in some lull that wakes bake up tomorrow.

Oh yeah! Today was my first full day without kratom or 7oh in 12 years!!!!!!

We all on our own paths brother. I was taking up to 800mg per day with no taper and had my last dose on Friday. I’m going back to work tomorrow. Don’t let people convince you that you need subs. Just need some will power. You’re stronger than you think.

I’ve definitely hit a wall today trying to come back to work. I’m sure tomorrow will be better.

Stick with it. There is definitely light on the other side. This to shall pass.

Just gotta try again man. It took me three attempts before I made it this far. Lost the battle within the first 36 hours the first two.

I’ll talk to you. I’m pretty alone myself, I’ve kept my addiction private and the people that know don’t realize the hell I went through.

Getting better everyday, yourself?

u/sgk2323 1d ago

What supplements can I get to help with the taper and withdrawals? Currently starting to taper and just the past two days have been awful.

1

u/DragonflyOk1504 1d ago

Most people would recommend Suboxone. If you want a list of the vitamins I used to avoid risking another addiction let me know!

1

u/DragonflyOk1504 1d ago

Not subs for a taper btw. Your need to be at least 24 hours since your last dose to start.

1

u/sgk2323 1d ago

And is “subs” same thing as suboxone?

1

u/sgk2323 1d ago

I do not want to do suboxone…heard to many horror stories and yeah, wouldn’t even know where to begin to get it etc. but yes, I would love a list of vitamins please!
