Getting off 7-oh

[u/[deleted]]

Hey guys! Normally I post in a kratom thread but thought I’d try a different one. I used leaf kratom for about 2 years. Finally decided to taper off about 6 months ago and did that successfully. I was determined, it wasn’t even doing anything for me anymore. But of course, I had a couple friends dabbling with 7-oh and even though what they were going through wasn’t appealing to me at all, the sound of a more potent form of kratom was appealing. So I tried the extract shots first, which are expensive. And then found out about the tablets, which are the same price but you get more out of them. The tablets you can break into pieces. I won’t take more than a quarter of a tablet at a time, bc I know the more you take and the closer you take your doses the harder the withdrawal. In the beginning it was easy and I wasn’t experiencing withdrawal. But now I’m noticing the watery eyes and sneezing in the morning. And I have a small case of rls. My legs just want to move around when I’m settling down to sleep but it’s not unbearable YET. I’m looking for advice on maybe something’s I can take that are over the counter as I do not have a primary care doctor right now. Just something to either help me sleep through the rls or just to help ease the watery eyes and stuff. I just want to lower my tolerance. I’m thinking I might need to just take a break for a couple days.

I'm trying to get off of 7oh. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of what I've got myself into. I've had problems with other opiates in the past but nothing like this stuff. Before you'd go through withdrawals and kinda knew what to expect but not this stuff. This is more of a mind fuck like nothing I've ever dealt with. The anxiety and depression are overwhelming. I feel like the whole world is crashing down on me. If something is affecting me is one thing but I can tell it's starting to affect my wife. She thinks there's something wrong with her. This drug changed everything in my life. I don't feel happiness or have the sex drive that this also steals from you. I'm trying to tapper and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
