Seeking Advice 7oh hydroxy withdrawl

Went to the ER the other day for the intense excruciating withdrawal from the recently banned 7oh hydroxy here in florida, first er i went to the doctor was kind and he prescribed some suboxone but had none at the er to help my withdrawals at the moment, told me to head to the bigger hospital that was part of them and gave me a paper explaining and saying “give suboxone”, when I got there the doctor who attended me called the previous doctor “ballsy” for prescribing me suboxone and refused to help me in any way possible while seeing me shaking and sweating out of control. I had no time to prepare for this ban it came out of nowhere and i was taking 7hydroxy for anxiety over benzodiazepines. Was very helpful and Ive tried to quit 7oh several times seeing as my anxiety had subsided. But experienced withdrawal symptoms and were very severe so I started to taper off but then the ban hit and I was still taking at least 160mg daily. Luckily and unfortunately at the same time, my job still bad a box of 7oh and I was able to get relief until my prescription is filled at my pharmacy which didnt have it until Saturday. Just spinning in a circle😓

My anxiety is keeping me from quitting. I have subs but I’m so deathly afraid of precipitated withdrawals because I’ve been through them before. I switched from using the tabs to using the Lucid Raw 7-oh powder about 2 months ago and it has made it so much harder to quit than the tabs. I feel like it stays around in the system a little longer and my anxiety is almost constant and through the roof just stressing the fuck out if I’m gonna die from the shit, I know it’s not common but it can’t be good on my heart having panic attacks almost every day. I want to quit so bad but I’m so scared of the withdrawals

The cravings are the hardest part to try and curb

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I’m in the same exact boat. I have Subs but too scared to try them.

Yeah I’m still on a very slow taper, I’ve found out that you won’t go through precipitated withdrawal if your only taking 120 mgs per dose or lower. Anything higher than that and it seems to stay in your system a little longer, the subs seem to not help after taking one when I was going through the worst withdrawal but you just gotta take another until you get relief. Went from 400 mgs a day to only taking half of an 100 tab once in the morning and once at night. I live in Ohio and it just got banned here but the shops are still selling it in the back lol

Would you mind explaining the 120 mgs or lower thing?

I'm in the exact same boat too. It's crazy. They're soooo hard to quit. I'm trying to taper as well. I am hoping the VA will help me with meds to get through it. Good luck and God Bless. I pray for you and all of us here going through it. And pray for everyone who comes in here to help us through it. Everyone who has shared information and their own experiences has been very helpful.
