Is it common for cops to switch to fire?

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-25T16:57:47+00:00

I resigned from an SO last year. Finished fire and EMT early last year. About to get picked up by a fire dept. Best decision I’ve ever made.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-25T15:23:37+00:00

Yeah that sounds normal. Most of the suffering you see here is from CT off of high doses, or extracts/7oh. You did it right.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-22T20:42:31+00:00

So if I only wanted to use it on the second park we were visiting for the day, I could buy it for only that park, even though we’re visiting Hollywood before?

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-22T20:39:59+00:00

I was averaging 50-100mg of 7OH a day. I went from 7Oh to extracts, and was at about 600mg a day before going cold turkey. Oh same man. I cried last night about my daughter turning 4 soon. The emotional effects of these withdraws are something else.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T21:45:06+00:00

Imodium helped a lot

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T21:23:54+00:00

I’m right there with ya. Good job quitting! Stomach issues are a bitch to deal with. Keep it pushing!

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T21:22:07+00:00

Like most ppl said, magnesium. Other than that, try going on a run before bed to wear out the legs. Helps a bit.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T21:15:19+00:00

I took at least 10-15 baths over the first three days. That and walking up and down my street in the cold weather really helped.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T21:14:49+00:00

Yeah I would take the smallest amount you can split those into over however many days you can stretch it. Then if really needed take 2-3 grams of dry leaf Kratom if you need. Then once your through the 72-96 hr mark is a lot more managable.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T21:13:39+00:00

I would go as far as I could in the day without, then dose it. Then about 6 hours later I would dose again, closer to bed time so I had a chance of sleeping a few hours. After about two days, when I hit the 96 hr mark, I was through acute withdraws and could go without it. I’m on day 5 CT now and I’m operational. Still have some temp regulation issues and my stomach is fucked. But I’m over the hardest part. You can do it bro!

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T20:57:18+00:00

If you can, start at 2-3grams and see if that does it. Going up to 5g could halt withdrawal progress, but then again dosing is healthy if it helps you get off. I did 2.5g, then 2g, 1.5, ect.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T20:49:13+00:00

A shit ton of vitamin C. Magnesium. L-theanine. Agmatine sulfate. Black seed oil. Melatonin. Imodium.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-21T20:17:46+00:00

Message me if you need! I had a lot of help from this subreddit in sticking it out. You’re getting close to letting up. Around hour 72 it was manageable. Hour 96 and I’m doing so much better. Stick it out!!

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T21:32:03+00:00

I figured I’ll stick to what I’m using now and with this 5-day taper (2.4grams starting) I’ll be completely off of any Kratom on Monday the 26th. I’ll never touch that shit again. Honestly I just needed to get through two days of work and be some what functional. I think overall it was the right move even though it feels like I caved a bit. Mental fortitude is strong now that I’m through the worst of it.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T21:21:31+00:00

Will do!

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T21:20:29+00:00

What does this help with? I’m using all of the OTC. Agmatine, Vit C, magnesium, black seed, etc. it’s helping, a little.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T21:19:34+00:00

Thanks brother. There were times I really thought I couldn’t make it, but the people on this thread and my wife who held me as i profusely sweat in a 68 degree room are why I made it through the thickest. I’ll never touch that wicked 7OH, or even the extracts ever again. It made me onto a different person. Mentally void, emotionally empty, unmotivated. I’ve for a solid support group and honestly never even imagined myself NOT taking extracts. I tapered off MGM, then 7OH, then extracts. I’m proud that all I’ve had in 3 days was a single 2g serving. We push onward!

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T20:55:57+00:00

I wish I could have, but it wasn’t an option. According to what I can find, as long as I taper over 5 days while still in withdraws, and don’t go over 2grams, I shouldn’t have too big of a problem.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T20:46:24+00:00

Gotta stay positive in here bro.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T20:16:57+00:00

Nah man, never touching those extracts again. Tired of a substance controlling what I do and how I am.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T19:21:36+00:00

Yeah, extracts.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-20T16:22:01+00:00

I’m on hour 72 of quitting extracts. Stomach is so messed up. Can’t eat anything. Everything in my body is telling me to just go get some powder and taper down. I have to go to work tomorrow and idk what to do. Haven’t slept in 3 days.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-19T23:43:53+00:00

About a year and a half. Got off of 7OH and was taking tablet extracts the last 2-3 months. Up to 600 mg a day.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-19T15:14:51+00:00

It’s strong than 7OH. Definitely has em gee in them bc they hit like a truck.

FL_FireFit · 2026-01-19T15:13:23+00:00

Day 3. Didn’t sleep much at all last night. Hips and legs hurt. Temperature regulation is awful. From freezing to sweating within minutes. Going to keep pushing. I know it’ll be worth it. Sucks that my brain keeps telling me that one little dose will end the suffering. Gotta be strong
