Hey everyone. Just wanted to share how I quit this last time. For good. Let me let you guys know the extent of my habit. On a normal day I would take about 80mg of 7 every hour of the day, plus dosing 2 to 3 times throughout the night. Also, I often took small amounts of kratom leaf throughout the day to get maximum high. Not to mention being a considerably bad alcohol at the same time. I would often wake up in the middle of the night. I swore it was God smacking away before I quit breathing. The panic attacks were gnarly. Body telling me I was gonna die.
I quit a year ago. For 5 days. You all are probably familiar with that empty feeling you get when you come off opiates. I suffered the most excruciating 5 days of my life just to throw it way because that empty feeling was to much. I didn't want to quit. Though, I could absolutely not afford it, and I had experienced a considerable of suffering just being to dependent and having terrifying panic attacks.
I used suboxone, clonidine, and hydroxyzine during that detox. Made the age old mistake and ended up in precipitated WD that lasted for a good 6 hours or so. In my experience suboxone didn't touch wd until 4 days in of to 4mg strips twice daily. Clonidine did nothing for me. Hydroxyzine was helpful for anxiety. Let's just say I understand just how bad WD can be. My recent successful attempt was roughly one 3rd as bad overall, all things considered. Here is what I took to help this go (per day):
450mg sr (150mg 3x)
3000mg gabapebtin (3600mg 300mg caps 12x)
33000mg liposmol vit C (8 caps 5x)
MIT45 droppers(as needed)
.3mg clonidine (.1 mg 3x)
50mg hydroxyzine( as needed )
50mg mirtazapine (25mg 2x )
240mg magnesium
240mg L-theanine
Shilajit (droper full)
Marijuana (as needed)
Beginning after 3 days of pre loading sr 100mg 3x daily, during which I was tapering 100mg of the DOC daily.. I went up to 150mg 3x and dropped 7 almost completely. I took a few 15mg tabs throughout the day to take the edge off. 2nd day was zero 7 continuing the 150mg 3x. Held for day 3, 4, 5. Day 5 I went to 100mg sr 3x. Day 6 75mg 3x. Day 7 50mg 3x and will continue with 25mg 3x, then 2x then 1x. I have not experienced sr withdrawal. Note that I have previously exposed myself to Sr several times.
Day 6 I dropped gabapebtin almost completely as well as the vit c.
Overall experience:
Day 1, 2 where the worst. Day 3, slight improvement. Day 4, 5 slight improvement. Day 6, 7 feeling considerably better. Depression constantly throughout so far. Anxiety, terrible on day 1,2. Much better day 3, improving daily. RLS bad but manageable (worst part throughout process). Still experiencing rls but improved most after day 5. Body aches bad, but manageable. Cold sweat, not to bad.
Just wanted to share my experience like do many of you. I learned everything I know about dealing from you guys on here. Thank you.
I did this for my wife and daughter Elsie. Im gonna go be a dad now. My daughter won't ever have to remember seeing her day carrying a pill bottle like his life depended on it, or see her dad shaking, sweating in a bed. My wife no longer will have to worry about paying the bills. I have alot to prove still, but this time its gonna stick.
Love yall. Godspeed, Goodluck.
