Wanted to share my unusual approach and experience with you guys

DOC - 7OH ~250-300MG / Day for 1 year. Purely recreational / "mood boosting".

Previous history - The 1 year prior to 7oh - MIT extract - approx 900MG mit per day at peak.

5 years prior to that - Kratom leaf powder. Up to 30 grams per day.

A few years prior to that - Pharma Oxy up to 900MG / day, Butyr Fent, U774400, H, Subs, etc. Literal hell.

I had an extremely hard time tapering whatsoever on 7OH. I regretted ever trying it. The mental craving aspect seemed stronger than any previous DOC's. Probably due to its extremely short duration. I discovered SR around July of 2025, and began on August 2025

Day 1 - allergy test ~5MG.

This is going to sound crazy, but I "felt" it within a couple of hours.

I suppose that I always felt I was in a constant state of withdrawal on 7OH. Just an ever so slight tinge of RLS within 2ish hours of dosing. That little tinge of RLS feeling and general uncomfortableness went away.

That night after the allergy test, I took 15MG of SR. I had the best night of sleep I had in a long time. I usually woke up in at least mild/moderate wd.

Day 2

Cut total 7OH in half. 135MG for day.

Took 20MG SR at 4PM and 15MG SR at 11PM.

Day 3 - 50.

I kind of was stuck at a crossroads. and I dont condone this or reccommend this necessarily. But I want to share in case it helps others.

I was starting to enjoy / get effects out of the 7OH again. While slowly lowering my dose every single day.

I dropped from 135MG/day on day to to eventually 35MG/Day on day 50.

There were a few days on day 3-15 where my SR dose went up to 60mg/day. But for the majority it stayed at 40mg/day (2 x 20mg dose of SR).

Towards day 40, my SR dose lowered to 20MG/day, and I tapered that to 10ishmg/day.

I continued to take 10ishmg/day of SR, at night before bed, for the following 3ish months. Finally stopping 3 weeks ago.

I eventually stopped weighing it so there were definitely days I would take 7mg or so, and there was a few times I tried taking 4-5mg, where I definitely noticed the lack of restful sleep coming back.

I went through 3 grams total of SR from August to Feb. Taking at least a little bit every night.

Upon stopping 3 weeks ago, I had little to no noticeable WD from it. I did begin adding 1 large dose of MIT throughout the day, which helped alleviate any sleep issues for me.

I continue to take 7OH, and am back up to 50mg/day now. I would like to quit sometime soon, but at this dose, I have very little negative effects from it.

I should note, one of the main reasons I wanted to quit to begin with were many physical symptoms from the high dose of 7oh. Aside from it absolutely wrecking my sleep, it caused me anger issues unlike any other DOC from the past. And I obviously had prior experience/history with "opiate rage" but nothing quite like 7oh for some reason.

I also had lots of inflammation in my joints. My knuckles and ankles literally hurt. I never experienced anything like that before and I am a relatively healthy and active person.

I had developed some skin symptoms as well (these hard patches of skin on my hands). And then the final straw was when i checked my skin under a black light i was literally glowing. It scared the shit out of me. So i wanted to quit.

Anyway, I have read about a couple of other people using SR "long term" like this. And I just wanted to add my experience as well in case it helps anyone at all.

I still have 2G of SR left and am super comfortable and familiar with it now. So when I am finally ready to fully quit all 7OH/Mit completely, I know it will be painless.

I might be super sensitive to SR as compared to some other people here. A "super responder" so to speak. I'm not sure.

The absolute biggest issue with 7OH for me was sleep, and this cured it from day one. Even at a low dose.

Some random things I would like to add:

I did read the master doc before starting. I saw that it was so novel that I decided to kind of test it out my own way. And upon doing the 5MG allergy test, I decided to go a different route.

Like I said, the sleep was amazing on it. But I would like to say I imagine it wasn't as restorative of a sleep as just being completely sober would be. I also would not remember any dreams at all on SR. And that returned fairly quickly upon stopping.

The short few days that I tried up to 60mg/day of SR, I noticed that it made me really extra tired and just dull feeling.

I never tried more than 20mg SR in one dose in all those months, and never exceeded 60mg/day.

If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer.

It really does seem to be a "miracle" substance in some respects. I really hope it doesn't get banned.
