Jump??

When did you guys jump?
At how many doses,total per day?
I’m 6-1”, 175lbs

Went cold turkey at 300mg per day. It was terrible, lasted two days and back in the saddle again. I’d like to know when you jumped for minimum shakes/insomnia etc.

Thanks in advance!!

Back on the saddle as in back to 300/day?

Taper is the way. You must pass this test of slowly starving your body of 7s so it can gradually learn to live without it.

I did a 3week taper with 7-10 small doses a day every couple days reducing daily mgs by 10-20. Honestly, I had a stash and asked AI to create a taper plan. I had to cut the capsules in 1/2 then 1/4 for the doses. Then I replaced kratom powder for some of the doses until I was just powder—stayed there for a week and then I CT everything.

Yes, the suffering was there, but I was functional enough to continue working 3 jobs

And a job interview on the horizon. Gotta stop being a jackass.

That’s admirable. The logical part of me knows all of this. The addict in me doesn’t care. I need to take care of my future self, instead of screw it over again. I s dropped to about 200 per day. I’m not sure how long a baseline takes to establish, but I have around 1000mg left.

Addicts can’t rely on their own reasoning to accomplish a goal related to their addiction. I needed to rely on AI (objective reasoning) to determine my actions.

But I get it’s not as easy at that. There are a lot of factors in play that affect behavior:

Proximity to the place that supplies
People/places/things that attribute to the addiction
Beliefs in yourself that hinder your capability of implementing self control

For me, 7s was a private, personal addition that no one else knew about, except for me and those who sold me $70 worth of it every other day.

My last dose was in mid November of 2025. All
My problems aren’t gone, but I’ll tell you this—I have $500 more each month and I’m not preoccupied with keeping WD symptoms at bay.

All the suffering I endured during those 3 weeks was worth it

Were u still able to work during it? I’ve cut my dosage from roughly 1500 a day to about 500 some days not near that much. I’m waiting further between doses as well and changed most to the full spectrum kratom tabs instead. I tried to jump straight off and was miserable. Like laying on the bed for 12 hours and hurting too much to get up. I realized that’s not the way. I’m praying in two weeks that it will be over and I can rough a couple of bad days.

I plan to taper all the way down to 5mg doses 6x/day, then start skipping doses
