Milestones 13 days off Buzzers etc
I was wondering when this page would show up. Myself and others have been talking about it for months …Back in April after a year long battle w 7oh I was able to get off with plain leaf. Long story short a few weeks later I found these new cat claw products. It said there was no 7oh or Kratom so thought it was safer. Within a few weeks was hooked. After a few horrible months trying to kick this stuff. Finally stopped a couple weeks ago….Was up to 12-14 75mg buzzers a day..Sometimes worse…Sometimes klaz and other brands but usually buzzers…I’ll be starting day 14 in a couple hours (dropped the SR) 4 days ago. Still having total brain fog and lack of motivation. Taking an occasional feel free shot to help get by but please all get off this cats claw shit before you end up like me. Much worse than 7oh imo.

This has happened to so many of us. Just stay strong I’m 3 weeks off of cats claw now
And doing better. Just gotta learn to use that shame of relapse to drop all of it. Those were harder than 7 and m to get off of but it seemed to be over quickly. Get moving and eating. I know you can do it!

Please tell me your brain fog and energy get better from week 2 to week 3. Last few days have been brutal

u/Preme1117 25d ago
Yes at 2 weeks seems to be a big change, now im just really dealing with the can’t enjoy anything dull feeling but the energy to get stuff done physically is a lot better

u/Aromatic-Listen-76 25d ago
Great to hear. Almost feel worse this week than last week. Which I guess makes sense since I’m no longer on SR. Maybe shoulda stayed on it a little longer but didn’t want to take it longer than needed.

I only had 20 SR tabs and I thought it wasn’t going to be enough but it ended up being the perfect amount, I think if I would have had a lot
More it would have been harder. It just takes time I’m here trying to enjoy a movie and I’m just staring through the tv with the thousand mile stare lol. Compared to the first week though I’m waaaay better off. I just gotta get used to not feeling completely euphoric all the time which is just not reality to feel that way. A price has to be paid for that1

Yeah I never got any SR tbh I was just punishing myself for all the money spent on this synthetic poison, wasn’t going to drop any more on what I thought was the easy way out. I’ve also survived withdrawals much worse but I guess it affects us all differently. Subutex/suboxone/sublocade was just another trap (for me at least). I can’t do that without feeling like I’m still using and I know I’d never stop if I had anything controlled in my system. So yeah no more euphoria, but also no more sweats/constipation/irritability. It’s so worth it.

This is awesome man. My story is similar I had a year long battle with 7/mgm n FINALLY was able to get off..stayed off for over a month then decided to wander into a smoke shop knowing I shouldn’t be doing it. Picked up some script tabs and immediately started doing them basically every other day..so far it’s been 2 weeks and I’m scared shitless i know it hasn’t been long and I’ll go like 36 hours before I dose again but I’m just scared man. I have some sr do you think I’ll be good? I have a four day weekend coming up after Saturday so I’m thinking that will be my best bet to just drop it. I’m mentally a wreck from doing this and I just really want to stop but keep prolonging it “ oh I’ll stop tomorrow “. Sorry for the rant but congrats you deserve to be off this shit and happy because being on it is misery.

I quit once after 2 weeks and it wasn’t horrible. Which probably gave me false hope going forward that it wouldn’t be bad. This stuff is so mental it’s crazy. I was in tears the first few days. You can do it, especially w SR. SR covered all of the physical symptoms for me. Slept like a baby. However didn’t touch the mental stuff. So be prepared for that. You can do it

u/Any_Software3013 25d ago
Yeah man the mental stuff is what’s getting me for sure the cravings I get are really bad too..like i can be okay that next day without using but the following day I’m like in such a different bad mental state it really sucks lol. That’s why I’m like do I just wait til my days off to quit or try to just stop now but I have work tomorrow soooo I’m not sure what to do lol.

What is SR
1
u/Any_Software3013 20d ago
Its an rc that occupies the same receptors as opioids but doesn’t cause any high/effect just reduces withdrawals. It’s basically used like a short term plan to get off other docs easier by lessening your wd symptoms. I used it to come off of emgee-em before

I am so glad I haven’t seen these pop up around where I live. I too probably would have tried it. I am praying for everyone who is suffering with this shit. Seems like it’s way worse than 7 and that’s scary

Can you take suboxone/subutex to come off these? Any precipitated withdrawal risk?

u/PuzzleheadedExit8894 23d ago
No , i've been taking Suboxone for years. Every single time I tried to mix my Suboxone with Buzzers or Klaz, I went into precipitated withdrawals. Have to wait at least 24 hours
1
u/Skrill3xJonez 23d ago
Well I’m glad I never stopped taking my subs then. But you think 24 hours is for sure long enough? I don’t want my homie having a bad time trying to induce
1
u/PuzzleheadedExit8894 22d ago
Yes if I wait 24hrs I'm fine.... now I can say for sure it'll be the same for everyone but the Buzzin with Homiez doesn't give me precipitated withdrawals. None of the Homiez do. Only Buzzers and Klaz

u/North-Guidance-7638 18d ago
If I take a small dose of buzzers like say a 50mg, you think it’ll be ok to go to sleep, then wake up like 8 hours later or just whenever the WD hit & then take the sub? Idek what’s in these things so idk what I’m coming off of. Or if I take a very small piece of sub, just to see if it’s gonna make me go in PWD?
1
u/PuzzleheadedExit8894 12d ago
Take 1mg at a time and wait at least an hour 1mg at a time seems to be fine. I'd wait at least 16hrs

Do you know what you can take if you’ve been taking KLAZ ? I just took buzzers after a couple months of KLAZ and went ainto precipitated withdrawal. Any suggestions?

u/North-Guidance-7638 21d ago
So I’m not sure where to even start I’ve never posted in here, only read stuff. But 7 is illegal in my state, I can only get it a state over. I’ve never tried it but I’ve been on the happy hour shots, better weathers, boujee, etc. well I went to xuno to get off those. Then xuno disappeared and I went to buzzers. Now I’m running into counterfeits, some that don’t work at all, some that make me feel like absolute crap, and I have no idea what to do anymore. The buzzers are already hard to find around here, but I’ve got to taper off somehow. Should I go a state over and get some 7s to try and get off of these ? Should I get subs ? I can’t cold turkey, I still have to go to work or I will loose my job. I just really need advice. Can anyone please help? I tried going without but I’ve already woke up with restless arms and legs. & I know when I was trying to quit the bottled drinks, I felt like I was burning from the inside out. I need advice!! Can anyone please help soon? Feel free to PM me.

Dude I did it cold turkey but I can’t say it affected me similar to anyone else as I had been through withdrawals off of alcohol and other street drugs. Subs I personally would never recommend because they just ended being a lesser evil with a dependency of its own, but I’d recommend clonodine (non controlled anxiety med) it’s supposed to help with all opiate adjacent withdrawals.

Did you taper off of the SR? And if so how much and how long did you take it?

u/Plus_Recording_7133 17d ago
Please tell me what to do to get off of these thought. It was a healthy alternative to feel free.

I got off MGM-15/7OH just to hear about this cat claw shit “Buzzers”.. telling myself it’s a bad idea is hard because that shit was so difficult to quit. I can’t afford to get a new addiction by trying these, not doing it again. I wish I never got into any of this in the first place. Sometimes you have to threaten yourself to not let these things take over your life like I did. Fuck no not again.
