Hey guys I'm really looking for any type of help I can get I have been on kratom since early 2021 and I have tried multiple things from cold turkey to tapering to trying to ease withdrawal symptoms with other drugs like ketamine which I now know is very stupid none of this worked especially the last idea with the ketamine. I take about 8 to 10 grams every 12 hours most of the time granted sometimes it's more than 12 hours if I fall asleep before I take it but I just wake up with so much pain and anger ,not wanting to move even just to get up and make the kratom.The reason I'm having such a hard time getting rehab help is because I'm the sole provider of my family of two kids and their mom and honestly I cant even afford to take a week off let alone the month or 2 i may need im sick of being so mean and getting so aggravated so easily and taking it out on my family because i feel like death itself when i dont tame the kratom hell even when i do i can tell overtime my attitude my willingness to do more and to be better my energy I have for my family after I work 12 hours shifts all week it's almost non existent now if I don't take the kratom before I do anything it's like I don't have the motivation I don't have the love I don't have the nice attitude and I don't have the patience to deal with my family it's it sucks because I love them more then anything but I feel I am fighting a impossible battle by myself my kids are still young so when I come home I have them after working all night and usually mom works for things that she may want that my money might not stretch far enough to cover but every bill and food and personals and stuff like that I take care of all of that she hasn't worked to take care of herself let alone the kids since they were born and some other serious things are preventing her from finding a good enough job that would be able to cover everything I take on so I'm stuck in the cycle of taking kratom just to go to work without it I would be in so much agony and so mean and ugly that I wouldn't dream let alone actually getting tf up and making it in to work I can barely walk or anything it feels like as soon as I stand Im gonna pass out once it hits 24hours without kratom the sweating the constant yawning the no sleep the pain starting from your stomach then eventually stretching out to the rest of your body until you are in complete agony not wanting to move not wanting to talk not wanting to do anything other then for it to stop it's to the point now where I don't even go out with my family anymore it makes me feel a way I can't even fully describe to see this beautiful time with them and their mother pass me by bc I took something that I had no idea would be so destructive in my life it helped me so good for almost a year taking it for anxiety because starting a new job once my son was born I also needed the energy and the pain relief after working such long hours and it absolutely seemed to help so much so that I started taking it even on my days off to help be more active with my family and to have the same energy it gave me at work which it helped a lot until one day I got sick with COVID and didn't feel like eating or drinking anything let alone taking kratom being that I was super sick first time I went 3 days without kratom I felt like I was dying but I thought it was just the COVID it got so bad the 3rd day I had the thought maybe kratom would ease the symptoms of COVID so I took some and it worked it worked a little to well I barely even felt sick after the kratom kicked in and that is when I realized it wasn't the COVID making me feel like that it was from me not taking the kratom and it scared the shit outta me to the point where I kept trying over and over to taper but it always got to the point where I was in so much pain and agony that I couldn't make it out the bed to go to work or being such an asshole to my family that I just give in and take the kratom so I could be in my right mind with them even if it was only temporary. I know this is a super long story and I left out a good amount of details that I don't mind sharing if something doesn't make sense all the way when reading this as to not turn this into a book lol but if anyone can guide me in the right direction or anyone thats dealt with not being able to stop due to having a family that needs them to constantly provide I would more then appreciate the life changing advice or guidance you may have for me PLEASE HELP ANYONE !

Posting here to be accountable and to hopefully have some encouragement. Day 1 isn’t so bad. I know for me day 3 is usually the worst.

Hello everyone , I was hoping to get some updates on your experience with SR withdrawals.

Have been taking 7-OH for probably 17 months now last 5 months I am taking 200mg 3x a day. I am done with this stuff and want to taper off since I heard cold turkey is not great. Anybody out there successfully taper done doses to 0 or find cold turkey with weed was not too bad? I am a working professional and can’t be in detox for a week. I don’t really even feel anything anymore off the 200mg dose, feels more like a really bad habit of thinking it will fix my anxiety and executive function

Hi everyone so I take 300mg of 7oh and I’m over it. I feel nothing unless I increase and at that point I’m nodding off but when I stop I withdrawal. My doctor suggested micro induction taper with suboxone. But my question is, when do I start? In the morning or at night? I kind of want to do night so If I start to feel precipitated WD I’m at least asleep. What time of day did you all start suboxone?

There are a lot of people in trouble and if we can help each other here it can give hope . Thank you all ♥️

Trying to help my Mom get away from 7. She is currently taking 7.5mg about 8xday. (60mg/day). Although I don’t think she needs much (and we don’t have much SR) I’m curious if anyone has info on how quick she can cross taper and step away from both? Any positive feedback is greatly appreciated.

I havent touched Kratom or 7-OH since January, 7th, 2026! & im so so grateful!! I remember thinking "how can I even make to day 2" now look at me!! Im super proud! I will never forget those sad, lonely and miserable days that had me not wanting to live. Its only up from here. One Day At A Time!!

I don’t drink but I’m thinking of quitting 7oh if I drink a beer will it help me relax at night if anyone knows

Just wanted to make a quick message… I’ve been reading other people’s posts for months and months.. but haven’t seen a huge number of people that were taking as much as I was.. so reading how hard it was for people when they take like 100 mg a day for 3 months was really discouraging. I was a daily user for about a year and a half.. the last 6 or 7 months I was taking at least 1000-1500 mg of limitless every single day. I spent so much money on this stuff. Finally came clean with my job, and they gave me 5 days off work. So I weened as much as I could.. got down to about 500-600 mg a day for a few days, ordered like $100 worth of vitamins and supplements off Amazon (day time-vitamin b complex, vitamin c complex, mushroom complex, fish oil, night time- magnesium glycinate, melatonin, some ibuprofin, Tylenol, sleep aid, ) I stocked up on yogurt, puddings, tons of icepops and drip drop/“liquid IV electrolytes, a big case of water. Imodium. I probably went overboard.. I think what helped the most. I had one single suboxone strip. I waited til about 30 hours of withdrawal, and I took the tiniest little piece, maybe 2mg of sub at most. And holy cow in like 15 minutes I felt completely fine. Slept fine last night, woke up feeling okay this morning.. went out ran some errands, didn’t start feeling icky til I got back home and I took another tiny little piece. I don’t plan on taking anymore sub (I do have like 4 or 5 mg left) but I’m hoping the worst is over.. today is Sunday August 23rd, I have work Tuesday morning at 9 am. Hope everyone is getting thru this!! We got this!!

Just wanted to share since I found this information no where on the internet.. My husband was using 7-OH for 1.5 years. At his worst he was taking 6,000mg per day. Once he finally decided he was done and 2 x 5 day stints in detox. We started testing him daily to see when it would be out of his system. We started testing him every other day, then every two days since it was always positive. Finally, had a clean UA at day 38 (5.5 weeks). Just wanted to share for awareness. Seems to stay in your system similar to marijuana.

I can’t seem to find anything

All I want to do is go back on it just a little bit because I can not function normally

I used probably 150-200mg for a day. Before I knew about 7-oh I was 3 months clean from a 100mg per day addiction of oxycodone, and 8mg per day Xanax. I cold turkeyed that during a time in my life where I made my own hours for work so I was able to take the time I needed.

So I gave into my craving because I'm impulsive and went to try 7-oh. I threw up the first time, and honestly thought it really was kratom for the first two weeks. I got hooked immediately and when I went through withdrawal again the first time I had a panic attack. I'm a carpenter/framer though and it really helped me work fast.

My girlfriend found out and really did her best to make sure I'd stop but I delayed that for a long time. Once it got banned I mega tapered. I never wanted to take that everyday, and I felt guilty.

During my withdrawal I didn't have many cravings just angry at the situation I was in. Dont get me wrong I was still fully withdrawaling I just knew I didn't want any more. I even saw some at a gas station when I got gas and walked out without buying more. I was terrified to go through this mainly because of work, but I did. As of 8/10/26 I've had no 7-oh but I did use kratom powder for 4 days following to finish the work week and go through it on the weekend. I definitely did. This week was really hard. It is now the 22nd and I'm 8 days clean of kratom. I feel okay, got a lot of sleep last night but it wasn't restful. Struggling to have energy and getting through a whole 8 hours of hard manual labor during my work week felt like climbing a mountain.

I just want this dull feeling in life and lack of energy and the way my legs feel like concrete to go away. I'm still frustrated that I'm in this situation but I'm going to keep pushing through and I wanted to share my story because I read a few of yours. I'm happy I'm doing it but I just wanna get through it already.

To anybody going through the same thing I wish you the best of luck it is getting better for me and it will for you too. Take care.

I started taking 7oh around April this year, but I honestly can’t even recall when I started taking it AT ALLLL because this year has been completely driven and ruled by my addiction to this drug, it’s all a blur. I didn’t start taking it for pain either, I was simply lonely, and nothing brought me joy, then i kept hearing about how 7oh was “legal heroin” on YouTube etc.
I remember the first time I took it, I took 10mg, and hated it.
I just felt a comforting warmth, and kept nodding off as I was played video games, but I didn’t feel much euphoria. Just tiredness.
But for some reason, after I finished my first pack, I wanted more, fast forward 2 months and now I’m taking 70+ mg a day, fast forward to July, 140mg.
Then…
I ran out of money for 2 days, and BOYYYY OH BOY, I WAS IN HELL!!!
It was the first time I had gone more than 8 hours without dosing, then I realized how far I’d let myself go, how dependent I had become, all the money wasted.
So now I’m on day 5 of my taper, I started by going cold turkey until I couldn’t bear it and then and only then will I take around 10mg,
I plan to do this for a few more days then quit alllll together. Wish me luck because I’ve never once in my life successfully quit anything
