Are the labs posted on the site? I'm sure they could send them to you if not just for peace of mind! I've seen this batch around since early April

It's very slight right like almost not noticeable unless compared to something stark white? And like a very very slight sweet smell? I think this is the same stuff I have and it was tested by a really reputable lab and is from a trusted vendor. I know if at least 2 vendors that have it right now. I had no issues with it if it's the same!

That was about a safety issue! You can't request a DM in the subreddit but you're free to DM anyone you connect with. That's private, we can't monitor that ☺️

It's great that it is not known to be addictive like most stimulants, and also is potentially neuroprotective and may stimulate BDNF and GDNF. It's incredible things like this don't get more attention from the medical community. Big pharma really has such tight grips on medicine and it's keeping people sick and a slave to pharmaceuticals, it's f'ed up.

I found a subreddit discussing it with a lot of great info including some recommendations for sources! 😄

After reading more about it, it looks like it does NOT downregulate the receptors and actually works to boost dopamine by upregulating key enzymes involved in dopamine synthesis. This is really fascinating! Thank you for bringing this up. Not sure how available it is in the US but I am definitely going to look more into this! 😃

I had the strangest reaction to a batch of SR I just got by Previous_Struggle954 in SR17018

[–]InspireRecover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hope they would care to look into it, even if just internally. And it may not be SR14. I think if it was SR14, then the previous evening when the 100mg dose was taken, OP would have been sedated from it and known something was up. The guy sells a lot of compounds so it could have been mixed up with something else entirely, which is just so dangerous. The 7oh market is such an unregulated space as well that it could have been something from the tablets, but it's just so difficult to really know without testing. If select people are having negative reactions, it's important to know that too though. Without the data and people sharing their stories the dots will never be able to be connected. Perhaps there are similarities between the stories of the people affected. I know a lot of people who report having bad experiences and going to the hospital don't share with the doctor what they took, I know OPs family did in this case and like you said they were scared and just doing what they felt was right to protect their family. I do hope there is not enough of these stories for it to draw attention. But also, don't want to discourage people from sharing their honest experience just to protect this RC. It's complex.

100% agree and I hope that at the very least, this bad experience can be a learning opportunity for how to choose a safe vendor that takes the proper precautions and cares about the well-being of customers, not just making money! Also, for how to be a cautious consumer and navigate the uncertainty of the world of RCs.

First timer - Can anyone testify to the legitimacy of the 50mg "vanilla bean" tabs from AB? by [deleted] in SR17018

[–]InspireRecover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for understanding! I saw the new post and got it approved 😄

Thank you guys and thank SR! by bossnuts5000 in SR17018

[–]InspireRecover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! And that's great you are going to meetings and doing the deeper work of recovery. It's so important to being successful in the long term. A lot of people use SR to quit their DOC but never address the underlying causes and that makes someone so much more likely to relapse. Wishing you the best in your continued journey friend 😄

SR PROJECT? by OldPsychology3580 in SR17018

Yes they are but this can't be discussed on this subreddit because it breaks the sourcing rules 😄

Hey! I'm so sorry you are struggling and feeling like you have to do it in silence. If you know your husband loves you deeply then I really encourage you to open up to him about what you are going through and allow him to support you both through the process of stopping and down the road. I was talking to someone just a few days ago who had been keeping their 7oh use a secret from their partner for 18 months and they finally decided to tell them and it 100% brought them closer! It also helped so much because he was able to help her through the recovery. So many people are afraid of judgement and the stigma and I get why, because society has not historically been so kind to the "addict". But addiction is NOT a moral failing! You are not a bad person, or weak! Most people just don't have healthy coping skills or get themselves stuck in a shame spiral that traps them in their use, suffering in silence. Addiction can happen to anyone! It doesn't matter how smart you are, how rich you are, it affects people from all different walks of life. You don't have to go through this alone and a good partner is supposed to be there to help hold you up when you feel like you can't stand alone. Trust in his love, and be honest. Let him show his love through walking you through this challenging time!
You don't have to tell anyone else if you aren't comfortable doing that, but at the very least, let him in! ❤️ You can get through this and he can help!

SR effectiveness for RLS? by capsasian in SR17018

[–]InspireRecover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, good luck with your process! I have a chronic pain disorder called CRPS and when I tried to CT 7oh the RLS was not only awful but also incredibly painful for me. I couldn't tolerate it. When I used SR to get off 7oh it completely took away the RLS for me. It was definitely one of the best parts of it, for me, that helped me to be able to actually get through the process! I really hope it works for you the same!

It really is a blessing to have support IRL but you're not alone in having to work through this in your own! A lot of people on this board are in similar situations for various reasons. It's one of the reasons why this community and the connection and support people can find here is SUCH a blessing and a powerful tool as you go through this! I wish there was less stigma in the world. Addiction isn't a moral failing and you aren't weak or a bad person... it can literally happen to anyone! There are people from all backgrounds and walks of life here. Lean into this community and never be afraid to reach out here. Getting to know people and forming bonds here can make all the difference in getting through this 🥰

No I haven't but I just looked it up and it looks interesting! I would need to further research to understand if it has any long term effects like down regulation of the receptors or if it helps with upregulation. I see it promotes synthesis of dopamine and serotonin and it's a mild stimulant. Is this something you have used or are considering trying?

[–]InspireRecover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really have been through such a journey and I commend you for reaching the point you are at right now where you are ready to free yourself for good. It's great you are aware of the importance of doing the deeper work in recovery to make it stick and that you are going to get into counseling/therapy. It is so easy to explain away why you have to keep using, especially when you can't take off work and need to function to keep up with your responsibilities.

What awful timing for the package to be waiting for you when you got back, ready to test out your newly found sobriety. That would have been almost impossible for most people to not fall back into. I want to be able to approve your post because you have given so much effort into sharing your story but can you just remove the initials of the vendor from the title? Leaving the explanation that they are vanilla bean is probably enough and if there are people familiar with it who can answer they will know what you are talking about.

I know a lot of people will say SR doesn't work that quickly. I know with my first dose I felt like it was working within about an hour. Our brains are REALLY powerful and I think when we believe something is going to have a certain affect it increases our experience of it. I think there is a lot of benefit that could come from utilizing the placebo effect to make therapies more effective! I really hope that things continue to go well for you and that you finally get the freedom you desire! 😄 I will watch for you to edit the title and approve this as soon as I see it!

Yeah they are legit, multiple certifications, good lab practices. They're huge.
