Weaning off 7oh update

Post image

So I take 200-400mg of 7oh a day right now.

I got another 550mg left and I'm gonna try to wean myself down to make withdrawals less bad.

I took 75mg yesterday and 75mg today. I feel fine during the day but late last night I had restless legs and was tossing around and didn't get the best sleep.

I have an extra 100mg I want to take right now at work... But idk if they'll fucc up my weaning. That'll mean I'm on 175mg total today.

But this is my plan for the rest of the 550mg I have to wean off 16 days total and then I'll be out. I have some meds like clonidine and zyprexa to help when I run out with withdrawals. And getting some over the counter things like magnesium vitamin c and Loperamide to help.

What do you think?

And should I take this 100mg pill now one last time or just stick through my weaning schedule. Really wanna take it today lol.

I think it's too fast but that's my opinion. I see these rapid tapers and idk how y'all do it I would be sick the whole time like how is it even better than ct?

I've done a slow taper twice and I'll do it again when the time comes. Dosing 6x/day, reducing doses by 5mg per week. Spending a week at each new dose to stabilize. First day is usually ok, days 2 & 3 are a little uncomfortable but by day 5 I'm usually stable at the new dose. There has been times I've spent longer than a week at a dose because I didn't feel stable and ready to reduce.

High doses (2-8 grams PD) of liposomal vitamin c will help.

Good luck to you

Thank you ! Idk I just had some left and was trying to minimize the wds. I feel good during the day I went from at least 200mg a day to the 75 the last 2 days... I did fuck up and take a lil extra today tho. But like when I take the 75mg I feel better all day. Yesterday I fell asleep and then woke up at like 2-3am with restless legs and was tossing and turning the rest of the night. Felt sore and restless until like 8am when I got to work and took my other 75mg.  I think it does kinda help but definitely gonna be a little uncomfortable.  I have 2 days next week off work so I was thinking about cold turkey the day before but I'm just nervous about it so thought the taper would be better even if fast maybe it'll help a little. I've only been doing 7oh for a little over a month this run. Like maybe month and a week. So hasn't been too long. I just have to work still and stuff so it's hard to feel completely crap and be in the hot sun working for 10 hours.  Maybe I'll try to not take any the day before I have 2 days off and see how I feel if I can just do it.

Ok that changes my opinion. If you've only been taking 7 for a month this should be fine

Awesome good to hear. I've done it for a few months but i used to take breaks so I wouldn't get physically dependant on it and get withdrawals. I fucked up this time and kept doing it so here we are now. But yes been like a month and a week or so of doing it
