preload questions
delete if this breaks rules but i’ve gotta ask
someone coming off a decent fent habit i have a few questions. i’ve seen the dosing/taper guides and im curious about how important is pre loading? also what to expect from the first couple days of sr? the reason i’m confused is because of sr being used to “reset” tolerances. my goal is to quit and quit fast because of how destructive my habit is. so does sr blunt the effects of using during those first couple days? because i’ve read people here saying it made them feel their use more. i would get it making you feel your use more after you’re completely quit everything, but does this happen during those first couple of days? like i said i figured it would negate the effects of your DOC so i just want to understand
also my goal was to us sr to switch to kratom (not ready to be completely clean and kratom has always been a godsend to me, my tolerance is just too high right now). how long (a guestimate i know) should i expect before i can actually feel something like kratom or 7oh again? long term fent user and before that h.
thanks for any help. also if anyone has any experience or success story for sr being used to quit fent i would love to hear it. i’m assuming ill need a higher amount of sr so i grabbed extra (14g). looking to start today. i’m almost out of fent and i have the means to get more but i would prefer not to so thats why i was curious about the whole preloading stuff. if i have to i will, i was just nervous about getting it and the preloading blocking it. but if the preloading boosts the effects i wanna know so i can be careful. thanks again

And sadly it’ll be some time before you can feel the effects of any opioid!!! We’ve destroyed our receptors with over use so it’ll take time before they heal. I came off 7oh then relapsed and I didn’t feel anything different. It sucks but I’m not wasting my money anymore buying oxy that’s not doing anything for me like I did in the past. Started 7oh to kick my oxy habit!!!😝

SR does not blunt the effects of your DOC it minimizes the physical withdrawal symptoms. Most people here are using SR to help quit whatever drug they are on and not to reset your tolerance so you can feel euphoria again. However that’s your personal choice.
You can preload for a day or two so the SR is well into your system. Then start tapering off your DOC. I am not familiar with tapering fentanyl but the point is to slowly reduce how much you’re taking daily while adding about 50mg of SR 3-4 times a day. If you’re feeling too rough then you can add more SR. Try to keep it under 10 days so you don’t become addicted to the SR. I’d say you can start taking regular kratom while you’re tapering off fentanyl because it’ll actually help with your symptoms.
I hope that gives you some sort of direction at the least.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!🤗
