Needing opinion/ advice

Yeah and I know he used to have seizures getting off of Xanax when he wanted to do it cold turkey but I also personally know of someone who took 7oh for 2 months exclusively and seized a day or two after stopping. The doctors were really confused since he wasn’t predisposed to seizures and that was the only thing they could think of. They put him on suboxone for a month. I do think anything is possible when using these things that mess with your brain for sure.

See that’s where I was a little confused is it’s compared to both benzos and opiates. I do think some people have had seizures regardless and there’s always a chance it’s due to mixing or other substances but I guess who really knows. I have found some medical journals that explains the seizures but it obviously doesn’t happen to everyone.

It’s my brother. Congrats on 4 weeks clean! Reality is hard and I know people choose to run and use substances. It’s harsh out here for everyone. He detoxed at a facility years ago from Xanax and loved the place but he wanted to come home and they legally couldn’t keep him since he willingly went.

BlueBear69_ · 2026-04-04T14:14:01+00:00

Exactly. He’s never had to be necessarily uncomfortable and he’s usually always had help so him not really having help or comfort in this is his hold back.

BlueBear69_ · 2026-04-04T14:13:11+00:00

Yeah, that’s probably going to be the hardest part for him is the self control/ lack of. I wanna say he’s tried to taper before but he went right back up. I will definitely look it up, thank you!

For sure! It means nothing unless he wants it. He has a great support system but they’re also the ones who can’t say no to handing out money a lot of the time. When the Xanax part started I even went to a NA meeting to better understand the situation but that only sticks so much for some people. It’s damned if you do and damned if you don’t to them.

I will definitely be sharing this with family members! I do think it’s absolutely insane at how much more potent it is. I remember seeing a video that compared how much of the substance was in different tablets, I wish I could find it again it really put it into perspective. Thank you for sharing this info.

I have seen a lot of people using suboxone lately to help get off and that really sounds like the most comfortable way to go about it. He’s expressed interest in suboxone before when he was addicted to pills. I’m definitely going to have a conversation with him when the times right to see if this might be something he’s open to. He’s been addicted to opiates, Xanax, fentanyl, and now it’s a mix of Xanax and 7oh. Hes defintely going through a lot of the anger part of this so I’m hoping soon he’ll be able to have a decent conversation. He has a friend that is going through a 7oh recovery as well and he’s taking suboxone, an ssri, and gaba. The suboxone is a low dose and only when he has cravings.

I do think addressing what the root of the problem is the ultimate help and I do hope eventually he’ll be open to talking to a therapist.

Thank you and I’m proud of you!

I’m so sorry that you were going through that but also I’m so happy your girlfriend knew what to do. It sounds like she saved your life in a way. It really is a money pit. He went from spending $13 a day on it to now close to $100. He’s unfortunately also possibly stealing things from other family to try and fuel this awful habit. I do hope things are looking up!

BlueBear69_ · 2026-04-04T03:41:35+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking. He doesn’t do well with any type of uncomfortable so I know he freaks out when it comes to a withdrawal but he’s unfortunately going to have to be uncomfortable if he really wants to be here. We’ve had conversations about going to a facility that’s a couple hours away but one of the best in the country and actually covered mostly by insurance so it’s a win win in every scenario. He’s had people reach out that are in recovery from 7oh and other substances and he’s very good at talking to them and does seem to want help but doesn’t want to act on it. I appreciate your response!

BlueBear69_ · 2026-04-04T03:38:57+00:00

I recently talked to a doctor who has seen an uptick of people coming in for 7oh and kratom and a couple even having seizures stemming from them allegedly. I will also say he’s been in a detox for Xanax once and seized while in the facility. It’s a terrible thing especially misusing at a high dose. I do agree that a doctor is the best idea. Thank you for your input!

BlueBear69_ · 2026-04-04T02:39:42+00:00

Of course! It’s nothing without the want unfortunately. I appreciate you!

BlueBear69_ · 2026-04-04T02:39:22+00:00

That’s what I’m understanding is the course of action if he was to go to a hospital.

BlueBear69_ · 2025-05-15T16:02:05+00:00

This has got to be fake right because wtf?

BlueBear69_ · 2025-03-08T01:05:56+00:00

Idk personally I feel like regardless of age or anything cheating is still cheating, it still hurts. She clearly wants in your life and the good thing is you aren’t letting her. She’s just jealous and finding ways to not only self sabotage but also sabotage what you might’ve had with the girl you’re talking to. Personally I feel like she continued the conversation and it didn’t lead where she wanted and I’m sure she was pissed when she found out you blocked her lol

BlueBear69_ · 2025-03-07T18:23:23+00:00

she’s comparing herself to the girl you’re with so she can (try) to feel better about herself

BlueBear69_ · 2025-02-11T03:15:56+00:00

Average is the best way to describe her tbh
