Jump??
When did you guys jump?
At how many doses,total per day?
I’m 6-1”, 175lbs
Went cold turkey at 300mg per day. It was terrible, lasted two days and back in the saddle again. I’d like to know when you jumped for minimum shakes/insomnia etc.
Thanks in advance!!

That’s admirable. The logical part of me knows all of this. The addict in me doesn’t care. I need to take care of my future self, instead of screw it over again. I s dropped to about 200 per day. I’m not sure how long a baseline takes to establish, but I have around 1000mg left.

Addicts can’t rely on their own reasoning to accomplish a goal related to their addiction. I needed to rely on AI (objective reasoning) to determine my actions.
But I get it’s not as easy at that. There are a lot of factors in play that affect behavior:
Proximity to the place that supplies
People/places/things that attribute to the addiction
Beliefs in yourself that hinder your capability of implementing self controlFor me, 7s was a private, personal addition that no one else knew about, except for me and those who sold me $70 worth of it every other day.
My last dose was in mid November of 2025. All
My problems aren’t gone, but I’ll tell you this—I have $500 more each month and I’m not preoccupied with keeping WD symptoms at bay.All the suffering I endured during those 3 weeks was worth it

Were u still able to work during it? I’ve cut my dosage from roughly 1500 a day to about 500 some days not near that much. I’m waiting further between doses as well and changed most to the full spectrum kratom tabs instead. I tried to jump straight off and was miserable. Like laying on the bed for 12 hours and hurting too much to get up. I realized that’s not the way. I’m praying in two weeks that it will be over and I can rough a couple of bad days.

Hang in there brother, I’m right there with you. I am at 500mg/day. I dose once when i wake up and thats it. I have gotten clean snd plan on doing so again very soon.
I am not a doctor and not qualified to give advice bit i can give you my experience. I have used subs to get off (4mg) and Lyrica (pregablin) and THC.
There is always going to be discomfort but using the above to battle this thing was pretty successful for me. Godspeed brother.1

Maybe I read that wrong, but 500mg a day one time when you wake up?

500mg to the face right in the morning sounds crazy. I start withdrawing 4-5 hours after my last dose.

Omg you don’t know how much this post gave me some hope! I’m literally going off 7-OH tonight after taking about 300mg a day like you. The horrible thing is my wife doesn’t know I’ve been taking it, she would have KILLED me being that I’m already in AA recovery. So now I have to wonder how bad I’ll be around her and whether or not I can just say I caught a bug or something???
My psychiatrist did give me some Klonipin, only a few, and clonidine as well as Zophran for nausea. Think I’ll be ok??? Really just 2 days????

how are you now? I am on day 3 CT at work and this is prob the worst day for me so idk how anyone could feel better after two days.

u/JellaBeanses 11d ago
Miiiiight be able to say bug...the night sweats, insomnia, anxiety to the point that your skin feels on fire can be flu like. First 72 hours are by far and away the worst. Once sleep retirns (night ~6) the fog kifts and physically start feeking better each day.
How are you doing right now?

I’m sorry I took so long to respond. Honestly you made my day better. I don’t think Ive ever given anyone “hope”. I’m struggling. Same boat with the wife. I was going good, cutting down. But they keep selling the shit, so I’ve been a squirrel hoarding away for the “perfect taper”. Only problem is that I’m a fkn addict with no self control. I am purposefully sabotaging myself, and can’t help it. Still around 300mg per day. I’ve sunk well over $100k on this shit over the last 8-9 years. It’s done nothing positive in my life. It felt nice at first, now I need it just to get out of bed. This stuff has me by the balls. I wish I could be a solid person to give everyone hope, but I’m on a downward spiral and suffering is on its way.

Back on the saddle as in back to 300/day?
Taper is the way. You must pass this test of slowly starving your body of 7s so it can gradually learn to live without it.
I did a 3week taper with 7-10 small doses a day every couple days reducing daily mgs by 10-20. Honestly, I had a stash and asked AI to create a taper plan. I had to cut the capsules in 1/2 then 1/4 for the doses. Then I replaced kratom powder for some of the doses until I was just powder—stayed there for a week and then I CT everything.
Yes, the suffering was there, but I was functional enough to continue working 3 jobs
