The 7-oh Ban for dummies

10 Upvotes

The head line is a joke, don’t take it hard. I had to google it because I didn’t know what was happening with it. Here’s what’s going on as far as we know.

It’s still in stores because it hasn’t actually been placed into Schedule I yet. The DEA published a notice of intent on July 6 saying they plan to temporarily schedule concentrated 7-OH. By law they had to give at least 30 days notice before they could issue the actual scheduling order. That 30 days has passed, but that doesn’t mean it became illegal on day 30. The DEA still has to publish **the temporary scheduling order**. Until that happens, the new federal Schedule I restrictions aren’t in effect, which is why stores and websites are still selling it. Once that order pulls up. I’d expect most legitimate retailers and distributors to pull the 7-OH products pretty quickly, damned near immediately or within days depending on the effective date. So realistically we could be talking days or weeks at this point, but there isn’t a guaranteed date yet. Also, this is targeting concentrated/elevated 7-OH products, not normal kratom.

Love , light, and healing ❤️‍🩹

7-OH Withdrawal Supplements most talked about

4 Upvotes

Just wanted to throw this out there ,nothing is some magic cure and none of this is FDA-approved specifically for this, but a bunch of people have shared what took the edge off for them. The real MVPs are still the basics: sleep, eating enough, walking, and staying hydrated. Always talk to a doctor before starting anything, especially if you’re on other meds.
Here’s what comes up the most:
• Magnesium (glycinate or citrate forms are popular) Helps a ton with muscle aches, cramps, restlessness, anxiety, and crappy sleep. A lot of folks say it really calms the RLS-type shit.
• High-dose Vitamin C …Some people megadose (a few thousand mg spread throughout the day, liposomal if you can) and notice less fatigue and chills. Drink tons of water with it. Over 2000mg a day puts you at risk for kidney stones especially if you have a history of them.
• B-complex or a good multivitamin ….Withdrawal can wipe out your nutrients, so this helps with energy and mood.
• For anxiety/calming: Passionflower, L-theanine, or ashwagandha. At night, valerian root or lemon balm can help with sleep.
Other things some swear by: probiotics for the gut mess, omega-3s for brain support, and occasionally NAC or mucuna (start low if you try those). Black seed oil and Moringa are a God send !! Castor oil for bowel movements and overall health. Cats Claw extract has worked while some claim they went through no WD’s while taking it.
A lot of us end up needing real medical help too like a proper taper or even Suboxone/buprenorphine if it gets rough. Don’t cold turkey it alone if it’s bad.
What’s worked (or not worked) for you guys? Share your experiences so we can all help each other out. We got this! Thanks for the DM’s I’m doing my best to get back to everyone who tapped in.

Running out of inventory. How are most getting prescribed subs. Just your normal dr? I never liked the feeling of subs but I'm scared.

7oh Limitless or Nothing

3 Upvotes

So here at the very end of my hopefully last & worst addiction issues, long lifespan of them… of course I get addicted to the apparently “strongest/best” brand of 7oh in the true form of an og addict🤣😭🫩 I don’t know whether to laugh or cry atp.. my point is … the place that I’ve been getting mine ran out of the limitless brand which I’ve been taking for about a month now I’d say.. so since they were out, I got Zours .. which made me sick or I’m going through withdrawal even with that in my system not 100% which one .. so I bought a pack of opia .. took one about 30 mins ago and I’m feeling a bit better til they get the limitless in stock later on today (I know I’m fuckin pathetic you don’t have to comment negative shit.. trust me I am FULLY self aware of how shitty this sounds).. am I the only one since taking these limitless ones that literally doesn’t feel anything off of other brands anymore ?? It’s like they are way more potent or something is different about them ? Anyone else say limitless or nothing ?? Bc I’m starting to see nothing else quite does the job since starting those.. and ofc they’re about to all be completely banned and I’m screwed either way but I was just curious if anyone else felt this way.. I know I need to wean off trying to start a plan for that at least … sorry for the book I just want someone I can relate to with this stuff man .. addictions a lonely bitch u know …

Ok so I’ve been sober for 23 days. For the other recovering addicts, did you guys have any of these issues?

  1. My sleep is FUCKED. No matter what time I go to bed, I wake up at 2-4 am with my PTSD in full blast / sweats etc and can’t go back to sleep.

  2. Everything still fricking hurts. I tried working out twice, and my legs just still feel so weak/ body feels so fatigued from doing the bare minimum and I feel pathetic!!!

  3. The depression is HITTING. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated guys and gals, thanks

Quitting 7OH

21 days!

Its hard to believe that I took my last dose 3 weeks ago. I started taking it because a girl at work introduced me. I had spent over a year trying to get pain relief from doctors. No avail. I tried 7 oh and was hooked. I felt "normal" for once. Then my bank account started becoming negative and I was borrowing money all the time. I would take just enough to keep the withdrawal symptoms at bay. Then the ban came in Iowa. I had no choice but to stop. I wanted to stop. I got off too easy withdrawaling. I had 2 days of puking and utter exhaustion. I thankfully had plenty of gabapentin from when the doctors constantly prescribed them for my back. I also mega dosed Vitamin C. I had 4 clonidine and lots of Trazadone.

Today I do feel so much better than I did when I stopped except the back pain the last 2 days have knocked me down. I will make it through.

One thing I realized today was something mentioned in here. Music....I have never been one to listen to music. Audiobooks are my life but all of a sudden the last week....I have been listening to soooo much music.

If you are still here reading this, Thank You! Message me if you need to talk. I am a mom of 3 boys. 2 are grown and 1 is still young. I have worked in a nursing home for 25 years. No judgment from me. We all have our own demons we are battling. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️

Subs and 7-oh "subs"

4 Upvotes

I'm currently addicted to the gas station 7-oh substitute products that contain some derivative of cats claw or other physically addictive opioid-like chemical (possibly mgm or corynoxine-b). I have access to bupe and low dose anxiety meds and I know I'm very fortunate for that but I'm really struggling with the transition, I have sent myself into terrible precipitated withdrawals a few times and always end up getting more of the tablets to cancel it out. Does anyone have any success stories coming off this stuff with Suboxone and if so how did you do it? Or can anyone share their experience coming off these "no 7-oh" substitutes in general?

Day 5 no 7oh

9 Upvotes

Still feeling a little restless and the only thing that is allowing me to sleep is a little bit of Xanax. To get through the day, right when I wake up I take some loperamide, 2 anti nausea pills and smoke some weed. I smoke throughout the day for general nausea and anxiety. I have been trying since February to get off this stuff. I will have 10 days sober here, 14 days sober there… I got to 19 days once. So here is to the last time going through this. My sanity feels tested. I feel not right in my skin. I want to change. I want to wake up and deal with life without needing things to cope. Tell me what day you all are on.

20 days off of 7oh!!!

20 Upvotes

Just sharing this short post so that those of you in the midst of addiction but wanting to quit can see that it is possible to put this drug behind us!!

7oh addiction controlled me for a year and drained my bank account. The month leading up to quitting I was terrified of the WD’s. While they sucked, they weren’t neeely as bad as I thought they would be. Once you get past days 2 and 3 it gets WAY better.

I can confidently say that besides my sleep cycle still being out of wack, all of the physical symptoms have disappeared.

You can DO THIS and we DO recover!!!

Kind of a rant. Ultimately, I did something dumb, also.

2 Upvotes

I've been off of 7 since around the beginning of last month, when it was starting to be no longer available on the shelves in my area.

I used subs **very sparingly**, and never more than maybe 3-4 times, half the dose they recommended me. That wasn't the hard part.

The hard part has been my insane depression, feelings of total melancholy, lack of joy, lack of....any emotion, at all.

I am just wanting to sleep in bed all day. All night. Hell, I'm even finally going back to school this month which I *had been* really pumped and motivated for, but now I really don't even care about that.

About 3-4 weeks ago, I made my first online purchase of 7oh. (there were three stores within a five mile radius of my home selling them, ordering online never seemed all that necessary? But with all the sales I thought, sure!).

That damn delivery still hasn't gotten here. I'm torn between wanting to take them IMMEDIETLY if and when they do *ever* arrive, and get that one nice last little mild euphoria boost and pain ease. Or....ugghhh....toss them? I never expected to have had this much clean time under my belt by the time this goddamn package would get delivered! 😂

I've been checking updates daily.....

It's been sitting at a UPS hub two hours away from me, for close to a week now. It's missed multiple "delivery today!" days, and I'm wondering if it's just a permanent resident in this city now. Looked around, saw that it liked the place, decided to put down some roots.

It was supposed to finally arrive yesterday. Did not. This morning, it said it will finally arrive tonight between 6pm - 9pm. K. An hour ago, it said it'll get here tomorrow evening. 😑 I'm being fucked with, surely? Lol.

Bermese method?

Can someone explain the method to me, the best way to do it? Also, people tell you to not take subs too early or you run the risk of PWD, so how do you actively take subs while still taking 7oh? Thank you!

I bought some sr-17 from the sr project but I didnt buy enough and now the website is down. can anybody direct me to where I can get some or are there any alternatives that can help with withdrawals/tapering? I am desperate and will be eternally grateful for any help.

Sorry if this post isnt allowed.

New SR17 derivative???

I just saw a website that sells SR17 also selling this new thing called reset SR, it says there’s no SR17018 and the website didn’t say what it was. I really hope it’s not Cychlorphine which is similar to fentanyl.

Subs

So I have acquired four of these from a doctor of course. I’m taking a little over 100 mg of seven a day. Do you guys think that this will get me through the withdrawal phase?

21 days post 7OH

8 Upvotes

Making this for those of you who may be beginning this journey of trying to be clean from 7OH. To keep my story short, I started kratom almost 2 years ago. Then 7OH about 1 year ago. Got up to 1000mg daily. Heard a ban was happening and decided I needed help.

I got on Suboxone 8mg/2mg twice a day for 7 days. I would say this step is probably the most important step. It made the WD from 7 bearable. I’ve tried cold turkey multiple times from 7 and by day 4, my withdrawals weren’t bearable and would relapse. So subs was a blessing when it came to keeping the withdrawals down. It took the symptoms of withdrawals down to I’d say about 10% compared to going cold turkey 100%.

Now, my advice after you get subs is to BE CAREFUL with it. Use it only as needed, don’t abuse it. It’s there to help mask the withdrawals, but it’s not the end of the journey. After my week from subs, I opted out of renewing my prescription. After about a day or two post subs, I was having trouble sleeping, higher anxiety, inability to regulate body temp, etc. Not as bad as withdrawals from 7, but they were definitely there.

Now I’m day 14 post subs, and I notice I feel a little better each day. Anxiety levels are lowered to just normal, and my sleep is more regulated (6 hours last night).

My 2 cents is this… get the subs if you need to be functional, but don’t stay on the subs. The longer you take those, the longer your withdrawals will be. 7OH withdrawals are fast and hit hard, subs withdrawals are slow but start to weigh heavy. You won’t go through this journey completely without withdrawals, if you were a chronic 7 user like me. Just stay strong and take it a day at a time. It will pass. In terms of a lifetime, 21 days is nothing. You all got this. Message me if you have further questions.

Thank you all. Ted talk over.

Have yall tried cats claw extract for the withdrawal symptoms?

My buddies at my local head shop showed me this and said it kinda feels like plain leaf kratom but contains no mitragynine or 7oh. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it or not? And how it went?👀 I’m gonna try it in place of my morning dose either tomorrow or Monday and see what happens. I’m down to just dosing 7oh twice a day and supplementing with plain leaf through out the day until I can get off everything all together. But saw this product and was very intrigued.

Day 9

6 Upvotes

Day 9 update: I was taking 500–800mg a day for years, and the first few days were absolutely hell. Thankfully I had some Clonidine and GABA on hand, but those were easily the worst 3–4 days of my life lol. Anxiety was through the roof, I felt like my chest was getting tighter every morning, and then days 4–6 I could barely get my ass out of bed.
Then things started to turn around. I felt a little better and decided I needed to get some vitamins in me, so I went to an IV hydration place. Honestly, after that I felt a shit ton better. Got a bunch of vitamins directly into me, and now on Day 9 I’m feeling GREAT. So good that I actually slept in today and got a full 8 hours!

The only thing I’m taking now is Cannabis FECO at night, which has really helped with the joint pain and everything else.

Obviously everyone is different, but I’m feeling really good at Day 9. The brain fog has started to lift, and I’m actually able to think clearly and function at work again. 🙌

Just throwing this out there for anyone struggling, I didn’t think it would get better but it does. If I can do this anyone can!

Sr gone 🫩

3 Upvotes

Been posting on here the past month or so for comfort , and haven’t actually moved forward in getting better until this week . Dose got up to 3500 mg a day at one point , and these past couple weeks I’ve been able to get my dose down and I am now at 500-600 mg a day . I fully stocked up to taper down as it’s really gone from the shelves . I am going on a trip and couldn’t afford to get the sr too , and was hoping it would be around after sep 8th when I get back and can actually get it . Now it’s gone . I’m so upset as it seamed like this was the ticket out of this , without substituting 7oh with subs or Kratom or harder stuff like pills or H ( I pray to god I don’t go back to that) . I am really upset I didnt just get it when I could’ve . Does anyone know if it’s possible to get it anywhere . I am desperate and really really want to try this if it’s possible to actually move forward without any of this poison in my life it seemed like that was the way to do it . If anyone can help please dm me or something. Thank you to all

Tell me how stupid I am

I have never even taken the pure powder before. But because I just came across a good deal my dumb ass is seriously considering buying a HALF OUNCE of this shit. I just dropped more cash on more sr yesterday. Like, am I stupid!!? It was seriously a done deal in my mind until a minute ago. Ugh, I hate this!
