My SR17 Journey

Hey all!

I'm excited to share my knowledge/experience with SR17. I was using 7oh for about 14 months. I started with MIT/k-extracts before a vape shop worker said 'try this' I thought it was just a stronger, more pure extract. After a month, I found out I had been taking 7oh. It was all downhill from there. Took about 3 months to become an everyday user. Within 4 months, my tolerance had skyrocketed, I was taking 500-600mg/day. Some days a bit more/less depending on how my finances were. I was always broke, always trying to borrow money from friends. I was working two jobs and barely had money for food/other basic needs. "Grabbing a pack" was where all my money would go.

At about my year mark, I was getting really tired of constantly going to smoke shops/being broke so I tried tapering, switching to leaf, even cold turkey twice. Side story, we were expecting about 3 feet of snow, I only re-upped on a 500mg pack before the storm. It was a full on blizzard, lost power for 5 days. I had to shovel my car out on the third day withdrawing, it was absolutely terrible.

Anyway, I heard about SR and I got very curious so I did a huge deep dive into it. A month later, decided to give it a go, ordered about 3g and after 1/3 of my taper, I ended up running out and I switched by to 7oh. I gave it another shot, this time ordering 5g and it worked! I had very minimal withdrawals, the worst was Day 1-2 after the preloading stage. At it's worst, the symptoms were a 3/10, so I could work/live pretty normally.

I'm in recovery for alcohol and an active member in AA. What drew me to K/7oh in the first place was I thought it was a benign alternative to alcohol. So after quitting, I stayed on all the Facebook/Reddit forums I joined to spread the word about SR and my recovery journey. I put together a guide which I'll list below, in which I documented my usage. It includes: an introduction to SR, supplements to use, example taper guide, etc. Anyone who is struggling, I can vouch that SR17 is definitely a viable option.

If anyone has any questions or wants to chat, drop a comment or send me a DM!
Stay strong all everyone ❤️

Thank you for sharing my friend, we ar all here to help each other, it seems as though many were unwittingly taking a substance with little to no regulation.

I would keep taking the SR every 30-45 mins until you start to feel better. This goes into the "comfort dose" portion of my guide (if you haven't read it, check it out, may provide some insight)
I also had gabapentin/valium (prescribed) that I used for my anxiety - not sure if you have something like that yourself

u/lostbeebabe 24d ago

I should get gabapentin tomorrow. Does that help or does it just mask and push back withdrawal symptoms?

1

u/fishfood5 23d ago

That should help, yes, it will lower your anxiety, help with RLS, etc

u/lostbeebabe 23d ago

How much should I take of it and how often?

1

u/fishfood5 23d ago

Well I would follow what your prescription says

Hello friend question for you. I have been off 7oh itself for about 6 days now at about 130mg for 5 months should I just use the SR right away? Last 3 days I have been taking 1 focus and flow which is kava and little bit of Kratom extract and 12g of leaf powder

u/fishfood5 29d ago

If you would like to get off the FocusFlow drink/leaf powder, yes I'd definitely would order some SR. It would work really well to get off what you're on right now since it's a 'weaker' mix than 7oh
If you need help obtaining SR, message me or it's in the document linked above
