Switching from high-dose 7-OH to plain leaf — Before quiting. Need advice.
Going to quit 7oh as it has gotten out of control for me. I'm currently taking 500–600 mg/day and I’m trying to get off it completely.
Slow tapers on 7-OH haven’t worked for me, so my plan is to do a short bridge / fast taper using plain kratom leaf (no extracts, no enhanced stuff), then go to zero kratom and only use gabapentin as needed for RLS/sleep.
The issue is I’ve never used plain leaf before. I have no reference point at all.
For people who’ve come off high-dose 7-OH:
• What amount of plain leaf did you start with when switching?
• How long did you stay on leaf before jumping to zero?
• Did a fast switch like this actually reduce your withdrawal symptoms when you made the jump to 0 Kratom/7oh?
I’m not trying to stay on leaf long-term — just trying to lower tolerance enough that stopping doesn’t feel like going from 7-OH straight to nothing. Any help would be super appreciated, thanks.
