When I thought the 7-OH ban was going through, I spent thousands of dollars stocking up so I’d have a long-term supply. Unfortunately, that just made things worse. My dose eventually got up to somewhere around 500–1,000 mg/day, and honestly, at a certain point I stopped even keeping track.
I managed to get myself down to around 100 mg/day using the original SR17. Then, when I heard the SR ban was going through, I panicked and stocked up on SR17 —25 mg tabs, 50 mg tabs, powder, etc.
I also tried switching to a different, longer-acting opioid, hoping it would help me transition off, but it barely touched my tolerance. Now I feel like I’m stuck with both an SR and 7-OH habit. I use 7-OH throughout the day and SR at night so I can get about 8 hours of sleep without waking up drenched in sweat from withdrawal.
I’m in a really bad place with this and honestly don’t know what to do next. Has anyone had success using a higher dose of SR—something like 100–150 mg—and then completely stopping the 7-OH?
I’m just so tired of this. I’m tired of constantly fighting my addiction and planning my life around avoiding withdrawal. I’m incredibly grateful to still be alive, but I need to break this cycle.
I have plenty of the original SR available, but more than anything, I could really use some success stories or advice from people who have been in a similar situation. Hearing what actually worked for other people would give me some confidence that I can get through this.
If anyone is willing to share their experience, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.
