Seeking advice from anybody who is also coming off 7OH
7OH is absolutely kicking my ass man it’s getting really bad. I’ve been on and off kratom for years now and sometimes have been able to quit cold turkey and one time it was so bad and I was co-occuringly addicted to Tianeptine, which makes kratom look like ibuprofen lol but I had to get on Suboxone for that. Anyways about 4 months ago maybe 5 months I discovered 7OH and before that I was doing the extracts like OPMS and MIT45. Well I noticed the 7OH tabs were way easier to take since it’s just a tablet and not a nasty ass shot and they were also stronger so I really liked them. It escalated into heavy daily use about 1 month after trying it for the first time.
Fast forward to now, I’m going through like 8 tablets a day taking 2 in one sitting about 4 times a day. Some days when my money is running low I can’t get any tabs at all and I go into severe withdrawal only about 12 hours from the last dose. This tells me 7OH must have a very very short half life compared to regular kratom. It reminds me of Tianeptine tbh because Tia also has a very short half life so the withdrawals come on fast and intense. I just really can’t deal with the constant aching pains and the RLS, because this makes it impossible to sleep. I don’t care much about the runny nose and teary eyes and sneezing and shit but the RLS is awful. Should I maybe try to taper off the 7OH by switching to normal extract for a couple weeks and then plain leaf for a couple weeks and then jump? I don’t want to have to get back on subs but I don’t know if I can handle cold turkey. The longest I’ve gone without 7OH so far is 2 days and it was brutal then so I don’t know how long the withdrawal actually lasts. If it’s only 4-5 days I could maybe do it but if it feels like that for a week or more then there’s just no way
