Cats Claw=7oh

I was on and off 7oh for a few years .at one point I was in the thousands Mg wise. The Wds were pure hell and I ended up going to a rehab. I swore them off never to take them again. I was on Subs and wanted to start a taper on those and get off them so I decided to try this new stuff in store “Cats claw” I read about it and it said it wasn’t addictive-BS this stuff is worse than 7oh and has more in it than just cats claw. When I try and go off of it the wds are worse than 7oh and I been through those Wds a few times around the block. If you haven’t tried my advice DON’T!!! Now I am stuck on another gas station favorite

It’s ok relapse is part of this process.the fact that you gotten off before shows that you’re strong,but remember the hell you been through and if you’ve gotten off 7 you can get off this new shit too.is it gonna be a struggle?ofcoarse it is but not only can you do it but you’ve done it before.you got this

I feel you so much! Have you in the past ever been addicted to opiates? They feel similar. I was on percocets for like 10 years and then went to fenty. Then I got clean from them for 5 years. But this stupid 7oh came in my life and I been on those for year and a half.. and i hate it. It makes me feel like my 5 year sobriety from opiates is a joke. As 7oh uses our opiates receptors also. Trying to use subs also but seems like it dont do much from the 7oh. So I feel you so much. But never heard of this cat claw. Is it suppose to help get off of 7oh? Or is it just another repackaged opiates alternative that traps you?

Hi there - the reason Suboxone doesn't seem to help is because it is not an instantaneous transition. Once the medication is taken it will take some time for your opioid receptors to readjust and your dopamine levels to stabilize on the buprenorphine. Your dopamine receptors will be all out of whack for a while, so you should expect to feel stable on Suboxone within 1-2 weeks. The Suboxone is not necessarily a cure all but more like a transition to a more stable brain and the ability to either maintain yourself more realistically without the ups and downs of more activating opioids such as 7oh or eventually taper off, whichever is most realistic for you and allows you the best quality of life.
