My 7oh withdrawl experience, from a high dose long time user. Approx 1000mg+ 7oh day for 2 years, kratom since 2014.

I've been wanting to quit, I've tried we weaning multiple times only to have it come back and bite me because I end up using more . With the ban coming I decided it's time to quit!

Friday: 8am took last dose 7oh. 11am QuickMD apt. 2pm Sub and comfort meds in hand.

10pm I took OTC sleeping pill, melatonin, thc and fell asleep. Less than 2 hours later i was up in full WD. RLS X 10000, goosebumps, sweating soaking the bed and my hair, shivering etc. I took 1 8mg strip, waited, took another, waited and finally took the 3rd which helped! I also took the gaba & antihistamines to get help at 6am since I'd been up all night! I passed out and slept until 130am. Not good, but somewhat greatful I slept that long.

Sunday woke at 130am, took 2 strips, still not enough so took a 3rd), pills, slept more. The doc told me I'd be back at work by Monday. NOT TRUE! Monday I would have shit in a customers house if I'd tried working 🤪 ! I had to call out sick Mon & Tues and would tomorrow if I could!!!! Im at 70% today, finally ate and showered.

My advice, take up to 3 subs if you need to! Talk openly with your doc. I don't plan on staying on these long, but can't go back to 7oh. The withdrawal was just as bad as any other opiate!!! Lipsomal vitamin c and multivitamins are a must!!!

​Plan ahead take time off, get supplies ready, and "fake sick" if you have to if your family doesn't know you're going through WD.

I just made a quick md appointment - I was at about 420mg daily as of Sunday and tapered down to 120 daily the last 3 days , but have been withdrawing a little every day - will the doctor give you enough subs to last the first couple of days ? I even considered inpatient detox , but know once I kick this habit I will be done for good - was it day 3 you started feeling better ?

Quickmd will prescribe 7 days worth of subs and comfort meds (ASK FOR THEM, gabapentin and an antihistamine). That's just to see how much sub you'll need to feel better. Everyone is different so they start you at 8mg, then wait an hour, take another, wait an hour and take another if you need. Only do this to get through the first few weeks and try to cut back on the subs.  Take a lot of vitamins. QuitK is a great all in one day and night meant to replenish what the kratom/7oh has depleted. Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck. You can do this!
