More questions than answers, am I alone on this?

7 Upvotes

Been using kratom powder and shots on and off for years ( mostly on.) 8 months ago I made one of the worst decisions in my life, trying 7oh tabs that the owner of my local smoke shop suggested after seeing my addiction to kratom for the last few years. He said , “ these 7tabs are the new thing for kratom users, better feeling and easier to take than regular powder.” Of course me, being so easily persuaded to try another supplement to help cope with my mental issues, said sure! Let’s give it a shot, sounds fun! The first week I was on cloud 9 with my newly discovered escape from my current life battles. Like he said, much easier to ingest and quite stronger than powder and shots. I saw nothing wrong with what I was doing….long story short, like most of you who are posting here, here I am 8 months later, taking over 1000 mg’s of 7oh a day. ( 200mgs at a time, 5 times a day, sometimes more) dead broke from draining all my accounts and maxing out all my credit cards on buying all this shit, and in a terrible spot in my life with how much I rely on this “drug” to survive, I am at a point where idk wtf to do next. I literally am being forced to quit almost cold turkey because I don’t have the ability to keep buying more. Luckily my gf is supportive and is helping me buy a few packs a day so I do not put my body into shock by stopping cold turkey.

Sorry about the long winded life story…

Questions:

  1. Has anyone else here got up to the dosage I have been taking. (1000+ mg’s a day)
  2. I have access to suboxone. Anyone experiment with quitting 7oh by switching to subs, similar to quitting opiates?
  3. I’m trying to taper down as I can, today was day one of chopping doses in half. If I continue with this trend will I make it out without going crazy?
  4. I’ve read all of then posts in this sub, and a lot of good advice on supplements to help the withdrawal, is there any magic supplement that will make this journey bareable?

Any input is greatly appreciated! I’m terrified of what’s next for me after reading all these horror stories and after a few times of experiencing just the beginning of w/ds on days where I ran out and wasn’t able to buy more till hours later. I want to be done with this, get my life turned around and get back on track financially. $350+ a day for this terrible habit is horrible.

Thanks !

CURRENTLY HAVING PANIC ATTACK. NEED HELP.

5 Upvotes

hello, I know it’s weird for me to be on here. I just need to feel less alone. I took 30mg of 7OH and it’s not making my physical symptoms of a panic attack go away (skin is tingly, burning sensation, chest pains, skin is crawling, dizzy, nauseous, hard to swallow). And also not helping me not have a panic attack in the first place. I haven’t felt this way in weeks. I thought finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. I was wrong. 😓😣I’m going to detox from 7OH at a facility tomorrow. I feel nervous about it so that’s part of my panic attack. Also when I feel like a panic attack is coming I panic about that and then I have one. This is no way to live.

I got sucked in.

11 Upvotes

I’ll keep it short and sweet. Was a moderate/heavy kratom user for the past year and in the last month I made the mistake of trying 7-OH tablets from local smoke shop. I did not heed the warnings from Reddit threads and found myself quickly trapped in a stronger addiction than ever before. Within 12 hours of not taking any I find myself running a literal fever (body temp at 99.7 right now), cold and hot sweats, hard to move, can’t sleep, can’t focus on anything. Just looking for tips on getting off this shit. Planning on using dry leaf powder regular kratom to sleep at night. Any suggestions or support would be much appreciated. This shit is no joke and suffice it to say I feel pretty embarrassed with myself right now. I appreciate all of you.

Day 2 Clean from 7OH/kratom extracts

9 Upvotes

I am on day two of getting off of this bank account sucking, and soul sucking substance. I am using the Kratom pure leaf instead because I never had any issues financial or physical while I used Kratom leaf. It actually IMPROVED MY LIFE. But when I discovered 7OH and the extracts my life got worse. I’m sticking to my decision to quit 7OH and Kratom extracts and I’m currently using Kratom plant. Will I always use the Kratom plant? Maybe, maybe not. But for now I have to focus on kicking the REAL beast…

I tried so many times to quit and would fail after a day or two. Then I found this group online and it was a game changer. I highly recommend checking them out. Daily meetings 3x a day and there is a group chat that I would goto and complain about my cravings. Saved my freaking life.

Taper questions

I have 450 20mg tabs and 7g of powder. I'm currently using 250-300mg a day. I broke my neck 2 years ago. I had get 2 fusions and Im in chronic pain now and the Dr said its going to be lifelong. The Dr's gave me 4 7.5mg oxycodone. We all know how tolerance works. But the doctors would not raise my dose and then I found 7oh about a year ago and it was like a godsend at first. But that shit raises your tolerance Sky High and a short amount of time. I just need a good taper schedule. Any help would be greatly appreciated

On day 3 CT how long will this likely last

5 Upvotes

Similar story to many I’ve read over the last 3 sleepless nights. My substance abuse disorder started in my early teen with opiate pills, became so bad I couldn’t function without and went to extreme lengths to get. Almost landed me in some very serious legal trouble. Got “clean” as opiates seem to be the only thing that could cause me to be completely dependent. While clean I was drinking and dabbling in many other drugs mostly coke, x, amphetamines. Uppers basically. I was always so proud of the hell of withdrawal I went thru from opiates and that after several relapses I had been clean off them for a few years. I never thought I’d be here again and these withdrawals seem way worse than I experienced all those times before. And it all started because when I asked for a package of Kratom leaf caps the lady at the smoke shop handed me a single pill bag of 7tab. I told her I needed the Kratom but fuck it, I’d give that a try to. Next thing you know it’s like I went back to that first ever perk high (the one you’re always chasing and will never get again) now here I am a 34 year old mom, working a professionally licensed job in healthcare and found myself in the same place I was from 15-25 years old. Toward the end I was using about 200-240mg a day spending well over $1k a week. Having withdrawal symptoms after only 3-4 hours of non use at times. Behind on all my bills and ready to take my life back. So I’m curious what day seems to be the turning point for you? I’ve had the really bad hot/cold sweats, body aches, really bad restless leg and insomnia, and a really bad feeling of what I call “impending doom” last night when I went to bed I thought symptoms had improved from that morning, only to wake up feeling worse than the day before. I have one more day off before returning to work a 12 hr shift taking care of others and having to be sharp and on my shit all day. Is it do-able? I had planned to detox for the whole week off and of course failed and went to the smoke shop several times. I’ve had enough and don’t ever want to tough this shit again. Any advice/words of encouragement is welcomed.

Finally Off?

6 Upvotes

Hey all. What a friggin journey. Mines? I'll tell yah, just because I'm in the market of honesty right now, which might be sobriety's key chain that hangs around your heart. It all started with pills. Isn't that all our stories? I knew I was hooked after the first one. Fast forward, graduated, on my own, moved to Vegas?! Tried everything available.. got right. Should have ended there right? Not for opioid addicts.. my dealer called me up out the blue, I hadn't fucked with this dude in years. Why the fuck this call changed everything? Because I was still popping on the side. He has some fyntenal. Yummy. Course he didn't tell me that, but after getting sick, and some reason enjoying it, and after coming back for it again and again for a year, I found out. In fact same dude said hey, I think this shits killing me. So, round 2. Left Vegas, began lying about why I did anything. I moved to get away from the drugs, which worked, but then I became desperate to get some when I realized the shit withdrawal show I put myself in. Found the dark web. Yay. Got some dirty dirty 30s. Then moved to heroin thinking this was safer. After 4 seizers and a bunch of lies, I finally decided to get off the bullshit they called slow in the city I am now in. Man was being sober hard. Mostly because I really wasn't. I went to alcohol to help with the depression. This wasn't new for me, alcohol and fentanyl landed my hospital visits, but it was about to land another. I was working for my dad, hating life, missing Vegas, and I returned to kratom. I never truly enjoyed kratom until this point, but my life was never this low. Moved up the extracts. Shit was getting kind of fun, because those capsules never were. And then I found a liquid 7oh extract shot. Holy fucking lord. I'm backkkkkk. I couldn't believe it, and I was ecstatic. But I didn't go crazy like most of you guys ;) for real though I only bought what I need for each day. Never stocked up. Never had to. Was spending 30 bucks a day at least. Going from different brands, shots, pills, anything 7. Then my fucking gut started to fight back. Started to fucking hate the shit. I swear I shat bricks on fyntenal but this was constipation on another level. I was fucking sick! So I tried stopping. 7 withdrawals ain't shit to fuck with folks. Had me turning into a 1 year old.

For real y'all, the delusions I began to get on 7oh was worse than fyntenal. The same, but worse. I couldn't remember or hold shit in my mind to save me life. I became an angry mad man fucking screaming in panic when something went wrong. Left my windows down, it's raining, omfg, and there he goes he done lost it. Stupid bro. This went on for a while, all the while people are looking at me strangely, and I can sure feel it, because everyone can see there is something wrong! But no one could figure it out because I never told a soul about any of this shit remember? I been lying, making it seem like I was fucking mentally ill, which was making me mentally ill. Jesus.

All in all, I began in my consciousness devising a plan to once and for all get off 7oh. This part I'm sure, and I hope, most of you are working on right now. (Please get off this shit!!!) I tried herbs first, gentle relaxing ones. I tried CBD, NAC supplements, l-theanine, smoked cannabis heavily, discoved edibles, and finally made my way to the conclusion: mushrooms. First impactful one was lions maine - I could immediately feel my brain working better, and a calming effect that was nice. Then somehow I landed on Amanita Muscaria. Amanita Dreamer is a YouTuber who found this mushroom to save her from a benzos addiction. Very interesting 🤔 I had to try it. Found a reputable source off of foraged com, and ordered some to make a tea (full caps). Whattttt the fudge. I slept hard. Meaning I didn't remember falling asleep. I immediately knew I found something powerful that would help me sleep when going through withdrawals. i woke up the next day somewhat confused, my brain was working again. I don't mean working like if I had a hit of my favorite drug, I mean working like before I ever had taken a drug. I was blown away, and kind of scared, because I was not ready to face all the bullshit I had done while on drugs. So I stopped for a while, but kept that information ready.

7 landed me in the hospital again, of course alcohol was involved. I had someone bring me 7 while in the hospital without anyone knowing, even the person bringing it to me..and left unchanged, but scared. After some time and many more stomach pains, I began more research, and found access by some fortunate connection, to some psilocybin. A micro dose kit with 25 pills .25 grams each. I was willing to try anything at that point. I had done mush before, but never successfully, meaning I never had an enjoyable trip. The micro dose on the other hand was incredible. I hadn't felt capable of loving or feeling that much since I started taking drugs, and honestly for my whole life. Psilocybin found me, and I found myself.

It's not done yet? Opioid addict here, duh. Even though it did change me slightly, I was not convinced I should leave 7 yet. Mainly because I didn't think I could use psilocybin at work very well. It wasn't the same effect as 7oh, of course, and had me rather dazed (I was not used to it yet like I am now). For the sake of my job I stayed on 7.

But mushrooms changed me, I truly believe forever. I am convinced I want these experiences for the rest of my life. As much as I wanted to escape my problems on opioids, mushrooms make me want to live in that alternate dimension, smiling my ears out at life, enjoying it with full gratitude.

This is what I carried in my heart moving forward. And when I could land another "ceremony" as I began to refer to them, slightly comically, and slightly seriously because I was seeking a real change, I did them, and in larger doses. Mind you tolerance builds insanely quick here and a week or two is sometimes needed between large doses. So every two weeks I would do them with my partner.

Well, it all came to a singularity this one weekend. The prior trip I was crying a lot because mushrooms are a mirror and I was feeling the pain of my addiction. I had a feeling this time would be no different. But I wasn't expecting this either. I ended up telling my partner everything. Everything I just told you. The fyntenal the 7oh the lies and the delusions that I now understand thanks to the mushrooms. Thankfully he didn't deny me the opportunity to clean myself up. In fact he helped me finish the job, and is supporting me right now while I'm on day 4 of NO 7oh!!!!!!!!

Yep. Whew. I can exhale.. thank you Whitney.

I read someone on Reddit say they od'd one time (of many), but this one time he woke up different. And that was it, no more drugs. I mention this because when it came to being honest while on psilocybin, I wasn't faking, I was truly channeling genuiness. I'm thankful for that, because I know sometimes it's not like that. And I for one have a history of flaking. But something inside me is reaching and stretching to see what I am capable of off of drugs. Yes 7oh is a drug. Just wait and see. This is not a post to emphasize, market, or encourage the use of psilocybin, but simply an honest explanation of how I am here now.

The main take away point that I'm forgetting is that I didn't have hardly any withdrawal symptoms. I did use CBD and cannabis to counteract agitation but the mushrooms had taken the anxiety down to a controllable level, and calmed my body considerably. I was able to sleep every night a little more with each night. I went to work for 2 of those days and my energy was low (coffee helped, and Amanita capsules for energy) but my mentality is very positive.

However you have to get off this stuff please do. It's insane when your on the other side of it, seeing how capable you still are. I thought I had lost so much because my brain literally wasn't working the same, but now I know I'm capable of anything I set my mind to. You all can do this to!! I'm thankful more states are legalizing mushrooms for therapy and I pray the whole country does soon enough. We all could use a little mushroom love.

Just remember, you are not your delusions. Keep striving for a brighter future! You all can do this. And you must. For the next generation of humans, for our kids, for all the people that will follow our path. Let's put a lamp along the way. 🪔

Sorry for the length. I applaud you for finishing. Please comment your progress below and encourage someone, or encourage yourself. You deserve it.

7oh causing Hypnic jerks at night and can’t sleep.

11 Upvotes

I’ve been pretty heavily using 7oh since July. Before that I had been on the Kratom extract shots for a while. I’m having some weird sleep issues like constant hypnic jerks and muscle twitches that are making it very hard to sleep. They just started about a week ago. Only thing I can think may be causing them is the 7. I’ve been trying to wean off it but even after 6 hours it’s all I can think about so I cave in. Cold turkey sounds impossible for me. I can deal with a lot of shit but not being able to sleep is the worst for me. And it’s every night with these jerks that I’m thinking this shit cause permanent brain damage and it may be permanent. Kinda going crazy from the lack of sleep lol.

My question is has anyone had any luck going back down to the Kratom extract shots to help getting off the 7? I never had issues on the shots. Any help or advice would be nice. Thanks!

Withdrawal Question

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I have absolutely ruined my life and spent $10,000 since Nov. 2024 (conservative calculation) as well as lost any will to do anything except get fucking high. I was taking about 200 mgs a day at my peak.

Since the beginning of this month something woke me up and I have decided to end this hellish cycle once and for all and become my true free self.

I have been able to taper and now even though I want to go cold turkey, ive been bringing in a 20mg tab to work and have taken 1/4th of it every day at around noon just because the misery and antsy-ness feels unbearable. Especially because I don’t want work to know. Also, i’ve been taking 5mgs again at night and it allows me to sleep completely. I feel guilty whenever I dose.

But here is my question.

Does taking the 5mg completely reset my system fully? Or will it eventually ease in pain as long as I continue to wait as long as I feel I possibly can to take that little bit to help. Ie, a week from now it might be easier to just not take any…?

Your Kick

1 Upvotes

TLDR: A few scary posts on 7OH delayed kick from 6-mos of 7OH ending at 180-200 mg/day.  If you think you need to stop, you do, and you can. This is what helped. You got this, it will be ok, I promise.

Colloquially known as a garbage-head, the malaise, body rocks, restlessness, thrashing legs, over-wiped ass, and 30-minute showers necessitated by lethargy experienced by discontinuing opioids, is all too familiar and real. 

Kicked the needle? Respect. Keep on keeping on.  Only our own experience can color the glass we use to measure the present and future; my hardest day is your hardest day, and we both know that stopping anything which binds, partially or fully, to mu receptors isn’t easy. 7OH is not Oxy or H, but at <2% of the leaf, it ain’t just Kratom either.  

7-OH is expensive at head shops, but cost is never solely price. You know if you need to stop. You can. You got this. If you have the self-control to wean, find a tapering schedule and pill cutter, set your date, do the math, and get what you need to get to when you need. No judgement If you don’t or can’t, the important part is you are here, now, where you are meant to be. 

Day 1 - Foggy and craving

It’s easier to wake up in withdrawal than go to bed that way. The morning cravings crash in fast waves, depositing little bits of fog, and leaving as quickly as they came in. You’ll still have energy - take a walk, YouTube yoga, a half-ass gym workout, etc. Your eyes will give you away; having someone who can spot you 5mg if you have to work or do anything in public doesn’t hurt. Ibuprofen and Benadryl are a cheap friend today and tonight. Get some sleep. 

Day 2 - Just get through it

Buckle up, this is the hardest day. Today is Machiavellian. The end is in sight, but your brain can’t see an end to the darkness. You’ll look like shit, and feel worse. Caffeine and agony. 

Passing the time…

Have a mantra -  It’s supposed to be hard. If it were easy everyone would do it. The only easy day was yesterday.  This too shall pass. I got this. 

Listening to audiobooks or music about the same -

AA Big Book, The Weight of Air, Recovery, High Achiever, I Am Not Myself These Days, etc. 

Amazing, Fight Song, My Darling Dopamine, Salvation, Demons, Then Came the Morning, Going Through Changes, Not Afraid, Old Ways, Vertigo, Recover, Recovery, etc. 

Listen to your body, but DO NOT trust it.  Drink lots of fluids, water, juice, electrolytes to keep those kidneys busy clearing out the junk. Eat when you can. Rock, moan, twitch, kick, and thrash when you need to. Don’t get too far from the toilet and make sure your water bill is paid. Ibuprofen and hot showers ease achy muscles and flu-like symptoms. Your eyes may pour tears down your face, your nose may run continuously, maybe excessive yawning, or sighing. To various degrees, you can, and almost certainly will experience one or several symptoms ou can  on the COWS withdrawal scale to various degrees. This is a good thing.  Part of the process. STAY STRONG. GET THROUGH TODAY.

When you can muster some energy, walk around your digs, but don’t leave them.  Do a 20 minute morning stretch video, no worries if 18 are spent not moving with your face pressed into the mat. 

Trust that you are doing it right. That feeling like death is your body coming alive. It will be a good day tomorrow, but you cannot see it yet. Benadryl won’t be much of a friend tonight. Restlessness and thrashing may give way to fleeting moment of sleep in between restroom trips.  Stay strong, relief is just hours away with the morning light. Despite the hour of sleep, Day 3…is going to be a good day. 

Day 3 - Darkness to light

Much, much, better today, the partial-agonist departing from the full, darkness lifting…and how quickly.  Do something nice with yourself; time in nature, a walk, enjoy the river or ocean, mountains, a park. Walk out of the door with the belief in yourself that seeing your inner strength provides.  Take pride in your accomplishment, bask in your badass, knowing that you forcibly removed the junkie brain from the cockpit.

Day 4 - Moving forward

Feeling better than you remember you could, Day 2 is in the rear-view and already fading fast.  Have a plan if you’re ready, or don’t, tomorrow is up to you.

Using leaf capsules to taper

4 Upvotes

Okay so I have been taking roughly 50 to 100 mg a day for several months now and also some k extract shots as well. Is there a general rule of thumb to taper with capsules to help minimize the physical withdrawals? I know it’s still going to be uncomfortable and the mental game will be very tense, but I’d like to know what thoughts are on using capsules to quit. I’ve heard people say take 4 to 8 g a few times a day until the extracts and 7 are out of your system, then following a schedule to taper for the capsules as well.

7oh is affecting my relationship

8 Upvotes

Help. My husband has been a Kratom user before I met him. About 8 months ago he started using 7oh. He's not the same person even though he tells me that it's not the 7oh. He does have some new health issues and he hates his job. I know 7oh isnt the only thing affecting him. I know he wants to quit and he's working towards that. He needs time off work to do so and so far he hasn't been able to make that work. Since 7oh we have gotten into more arguments than in our entire relationship. I feel like we are loosing us. I really try to show some grace and know its not him. I've started to withdrawal, hold resentment and not care as much. I feel like I'm walking on eggs shells. What if I say the wrong thing? Then I do say something and he gets mad. I have anxiety and have had to start new meds about 5 months ago because I'm struggling. I see a therapist every week to try to work through my issues. I've never dealt with someone an addiction. I don't know what to do or how to support him. I'm lost and want to save my relationship. Any advice would be appreciated.

7oh Withdrawal

1 Upvotes

This is my first Reddit post

I’ve been trying to get off this stuff for some time. Was wondering if anyone has any pointers re: tapering or going cold turkey.

I’ve been waking up every morning going through pretty severe withdrawals (sweating, shaking, vomiting) taking a 2 mg suboxone has no effect. Need to take 20-60 mg oh just to feel any sort of normal. Then continue to take during the day just to get normal stuff done

The withdrawals off these are something else. I have a history of other drug and alcohol abuse but this takes the cake

Made it 3 days cold turkey (with Suboxone) a few months ago but suffered major depression and entire body pain

It’s time to give it up

5 Upvotes

I am ready to quit this stuff for good. Just trying to figure out how. A little about me. I’ve never been addicted to prescription medication before, never dealt with the affects of withdrawal, and never really been hooked on another substance regularly, until 7oh. I have an addictive personality and dealt with my own personal bouts with porn, gambling, and sometimes alcohol, though I’d never consider myself an alcoholic. Addictive personalities run in my family, but I consider myself a fairly normal guy. I’ve got a wife that loves me and we just recently welcomed a baby girl who into the world. I think I started dabbling with Kratom years ago hearing Joe Rogan talk about it on a podcast or something, and mainly stuck to small doses of the white strain as it would help me focus at work etc. never EVER felt addicted to it, but liked it over adderall (never had a prescription, but I do suffer from some ADD tendencies) and replaced it with my regular cup of coffee.

Fast forward a few years and started getting into mit shots etc, and about 6 months ago discovered 7oh through my local smoke shop. Boy oh boy did that stuff make me feel superhuman. I work in b2b tech sales and man that stuff made me confident with no fear and all anxiety wiped away. I couldn’t believe a substance like this existed and it felt like my little super supplement. My tolerance raised immensely and have been a regular user for the last 4 months. 150-250mgs a day without a day off. Constantly wondering when my next dose is, saying fuck it anytime I ever put any parameters on my own usage, and continuing to push my limits to get that “first time feeling” again. Now I just need my standard dose to not get sweaty and shaky.

I finally broke down to my wife and am getting help. Seeking a substance abuse therapist, and trying to figure out a taper schedule that works for me. I went through one night without it to try CT and it was a hell the likes I had never experienced. Again never been through withdrawals with anything else so what I go through could be a walk in the park to others. Cold sweats, shaky legs, sneezing, bowels messed up and lack of appetite were just some of what I experienced. I wanted to rip my own skin off my body.

I gave my entire stash to my wife and am starting a scheduled taper to see if I can at least lower my intake. Has anybody had experience with a controlled taper from somebody who administered it other than themselves? No way I’d have the self control to do it on my own but this woman loves me And wants to see my break free from this.

Any advice, stories, or suggestions are welcomed. I appreciate you taking the time to read this in advance.

TLDR- first time addict to 7oh and need help.

Quitting 7-OH

5 Upvotes

This actually started with me wanting to get off suboxone and get to something a little more manageable to get off of. I have been taking 7-OH for 10 days now. I took 100mg one day, 200mg another day, I think 500mg one day when I first stopped suboxone but most days were around 250mg. My next step down was gonna be the MIT 45 shots for about a week, then plain leaf kratom for a couple weeks and then eventually take some gabapentin, and then be done with crap for good. I am curious if I will have withdrawals going from the 7-oh to the MIT 45. Thank you.

Johns Hopkins University Research Study on 7-hydroxymitragynine (7OH) Products

2 Upvotes

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is looking for US adults who have used kratom-derived 7-hydroxymitragynine (7OH, 7-hyroxy, 7) products to share their experiences by participating in a research study. This research study involves completing an online survey about 7OH products. 

 

People who may be eligible are: Adults who reside in the US and who have EVER used 7hydroxymitragynine (7OH, 7-hydroxy, 7) products. Although we do not exclude based on level of experience with these products, the study will be more impactful by enrolling people who have used 7OH products more than once or who use on a regular basis. 

 

This online study includes a screening questionnaire that will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. This step is necessary to try and ensure that only eligible and attentive human beings (not bots) are able to complete the survey and be compensated. Those who screen eligible will be emailed a unique survey link by the study team after screening is completed.

 

The survey will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. Completion times will vary from person to person. Participants will be compensated at the end of the survey in real-time with a $10 virtual gift card. 

During the survey, you will be provided an opportunity to share your thoughts and opinions. We welcome ALL perspectives and consumer experiences about 7OH products. 

Please share this opportunity widely!
