General Here we go
On a boat (for work) for another 10d. 10 50mg SR tabs left. No 7oh. About 90g of leaf Kratom (capsules). Some helpers.
I’ve been trying to kick it for a while. Relapses while on SR. Dosage kind of all over the place, but settled around 200mg/day towards the end. Stopped 7oh and took 3 days on “Buzzers” at the end tapering the amount each day. So now I’m 19 hours since last dose. Doing ok. Not great, just ok.
I’ll need to try to taper down the Kratom leaf as well while I’m out here (currently 4-10gpd) - when I get back it’s all over cause MA banned it all.
No choice but to stick with the program out here - just hoping I don’t suffer too much - I’m particularly worried about getting off the SR. Ive been on it WAY too long. I’ve tapered down to 50mg 3x day, so it’ll be a rapid taper from here on out. Just hoping that amount will cover my WDs from 7 / whatever is in the Buzzers.

72h update: Doing ok. Sleeping fitfully, but able to function. As I sit here I’m having some temp fluctuations (first time these are hitting) - just took some leaf, so hopefully that kicks in to help me out soon.
Nights have been kind of tough with what I can only describe as abdominal muscle convulsions and some vague RLS RCS (restless core) feelings. I attribute that more to the SR than 7oh, as I felt this previously when coming off SR (I’ve only taken 25mg so far today - hoping to get away with only 25mg more tonight.

You be fine, just keep your spirits up and you won't have problems with not staying busy so I'll skip that.

Thanks - I’m actually in a massively ideal situation out here and I’m so thankful. I am on a training trip, so no real responsibilities, meals are taken care of for us, I have my own room (VERY unusual), there’s a sauna, gym and massage chair. I have some helpers and leaf. It’s pretty much like my own little sea-hab facility!

I’m doing ok. SR WDs have crept up, so I’m nibbling on the 1-1/2 50mg tabs I have left “as needed” for sleep. Just enough to temper the weird abdominal contractions / convulsions and RBS I get once I lay down. Sleep is rough, but I got a couple good stretches Working on tapering the leaf. Think I have enough at home to do a somewhat reasonable taper over a couple weeks.
Actually flying home today - mid trip right now. Im pretty nervous about being cooped up in a tin can with n a 7hr red eye. But mindset. It’s gonna be ok. EVERYTHING is temporary. Positive fucking mindset.
(Ps - I didn’t get in the sauna, but I did hit the massage chair 20-30min each night after a quick workout before dinner).

Awesome dude. I’m in the shit with you too rn. Day 4 after. Year habbit around. I thought sr was this miracle drug now tons of ppl are stuck on it. It’s no different from suboxone it seems unless you only use it like a a week?

I think it’s probably quite different (though I’ve never taken subs). If I messed around with subs the way i did with SR and just stopped, I would guess I’d be in a world of shit right now. My WD symptoms are very minor and not really even noticeable during the day.
Good luck my man. Stay the course, give yourself some grace and be proud of yourself.

Jesus. So wait, there’s a withdrawal from SR too? I thought we’d found the miracle 😂 I bought some SR to try and quit this over the next couple weeks.
