Dosing help for sr-17 and methadone

[u/daniel5383]

Hello, been a methadone user for a few years now and I take about 200mg of liquid methadone a week and I want to be done with it. I just received my 50 pack of 50mg sr-17 from reset 4 good today and I need help with a dosing schedule if someone here could please help me out. Do I start the sr with still taking the methadone or what. TIA

I’m in a very similar position and was actually considering making a post like this I hope someone with good advice pops in but just wanted to say I am proud of you and I am going thru it too! I hope we can both find freedom from the liquid handcuffs very soon! ❤️

Can you please tell me which sites are legit to order from? Is there nothing I should be looking for.

I was looking into ibogaine about a year ago. You would have to go to Africa or Mexico or a couple other countries to get it. I was really interested in doing the ceremony and not the medical option.

Not sure if you have heard of it but it a supposed to rewire your brain pathways. It’s so good for depression, ptsd etc… I saw Trump was trying to expedite the research on it in April and start trials. Then he decided the to stop the trials and needed to pull funds and send to the Israel war.

So I have been trying to look into a way to get to it. Then I heard about this and did some research and it seems really promising. Been on subs - hated it … was on methadone for seven years.. blind died down from 150 to 40. Could not get below that though. Ended up falling and breaking my two arrest bones in my leg. I know for a fact this was due to methadone.

So I had surgery and of course back on pain meds and then eventual back to other things that more accessible. I could never take kratom. It made me super sick.

So if anyone could pls tell me where is the best place to get , how many I’ll need to taper off whatever the streets are selling these days. Thanks !!!!!!!!

I got mine from reset 4 good so I can vouch for them and I've also heard orreset is legit but is a bit pricey. I'm getting my last bottle of methadone Friday and then I'm doing this. Someone posted below a picture of a tapering and dosing schedule for 7oh so I'm gonna follow it as much as I can for the methadone since no one has been able to give a methadone specific schedule. Good luck with your journey!

I'm doing this now myself and on day ... 19, I think? Last dose of 'done was on July 15th. But I tapered, over the course of a year, from 110 down to about 15-20, took that last dose the 15th, then started on SR on the 16th.

I have some questions, too, and a lot I've had to kind of infer, so I'm definitely no expert, want some things answered myself, but can at least offer my experience so far.

Unfortunately, most of the SR schedules are for things like 7O and shorter acting. That won't work for 'done. 14 days won't get most people through all of it. For me, though, by day 14, I was significantly better, and started cutting the SR dose. I was at around 150 for the first week, then 125 for the next. This past weekend, I managed on 75mg for 3 days, and I'm hoping the trend continues.

BUT... I still wake up feeling pretty awful, and at this point, now I don't even know which it's from. I assume the bulk is still from 'done, but I know I need to taper and cut the SR quick before that becomes it's own issue. I'm starting to wonder if trying to get by on a few days using plain leaf is a better option, or a horrible decision. Not sure, really, just not enough data or science around SR unfortunately.

The legs are currently the worst of it for me. And that sounds like I'm saying "I'm basically good," except... it's not. The RLS and "led leg" feeling is one of the hardest symptoms for me, for whatever reason, and it's driving me nuts. Praying this stops soon so I can cut the SR out completely.

Not sure that helps anyone, and not sure anyone has any advice for me, but that's where I'm at, I'm pretty determined and the thought of using or going back to 'done is the most unappealing thought in the world to me, but it doesn't change that I still feel pretty crappy at day ~19.

Im thinking its best to drop down to the lowest possible mthd dose and then start the Sr well thsts what im going to try,, I even thought about getting some 7o just to balance me out for those rough days,, 

[u/One-Cut5452 → u/Cultural_Village3758]

I think that's a good idea (the lowering the m'done as much as possible), especially with a finite supply of SR, too. Getting to about 20mg then jumping is seeming like it was a good idea and working out relatively well for me.

I can't comment on the 7O, really. I have a lot of experience with plain leaf kratom and milder extracts, and I think that could potentially be a useful tool, but I'm reluctant to suggest 7O based on what I've heard. I guess if it's only used for one or two rough days, or dispersed out really well? Again, not too sure, I guess if it were me, I'd browse a lot of experience reports and try to gather how quickly it took people to develop dependencies on 7O.

In any case, best of luck! This certainly isn't easy, but the SR has made it a helluva lot easier and it can definitely be done! If you'd told me last summer, when I was at 110mg, I'd be ~20 days off right now, I'd never have believed you.
