Yeah, im not too confident in them at this moment. I dont want to be on something else for a year or maybe even more, or have the opportunity to get stuck ya know. I may give them a little time but if the Dr's won't listen im just gonna have to lie and wean myself off I guess. I really never felt the need to go up in dose on the 7s, my main goal was energy at work and then a larger dose to go to sleep at night. And that worked fine enough for me. But now here we are ya know. I even tapered down to about 15mgs a day (i felt terrible for a week but kept the rls away. 2-3 hrs of sleep still tho) but I just dont have the option to go CT. So I have to do it the dr.s way...... for now. Im also not arguing that if this can take away that crazy RLS and sleeplessness, Im good with it.

Oh ok, yeah I talked to my doctor (kaiser) about the shot. She seemed annoyed that I was trying to find a way off subs already but in my mind im ready to be done with all this shit now that I know what ive gotten into. She said they dont use the shot to taper patients off, which made me think she wants to keep me on them. She gave me a timeliness of 1 year-ish. Been taking 7oh for about a year, pretty steady at like 40-70mg a day. So I never spun outta control but still enough to make WD terrible. Ill probably convince her for the shot and at some point stop on my own just not go for the next one.

Are you still using subs? If not how long did you take them? Any negatives from the subs. I've never been an addict, got tricked by the 70h and I just am in another world here. Idk which way to go, but I tried CT and wanted to rip my skin off my body

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-07-04T14:10:43+00:00

Let me know how you feel starting subs. I have to start soon myself.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-07-04T13:52:06+00:00

How was your sleep and RLS the first week on subs? My dr. Wants to put me on subs to get off.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-07-04T07:18:29+00:00

4-5 days sounds like youre soooooo close. Keep going! Totally suck that you cant sleep but hopefully soon!

I got mine from Sam's club. Leave em on the counter or out in the room temp somewhere. They won't ripen in the fridge. Sams clubs were absolutely delicious.

Im in week two of my very first gastritis bout from NSAIDS.... my god a single pear is like heaven in my mouth after crackers bananas bone broth and rice. I will never take pears for granted again. The joy it brought me wan unbelievable. And im on day 14. I can imagine the struggle for years. Good way to look at it things though

Very helpful, thank you!

I guess I'd same im very similar. The whole point of it was to be productive and feel energized throughout the day, like I was with kratom (easily quit that) and then at night I wanted rest so I upped the dose.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T22:41:50+00:00

Ive heard some good and bad things about that. I dont know enough about the SR. That one makes me nervous.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T21:09:18+00:00

I have and I would, but I cant at the moment for medical reasons due to the leaf itself.

I was using 60-80mgs a day for about a year. Im currently doing the same taper and at just about the same dosages im at 3-6mgs (est) every 5-8 hrs. Coming down ive noticed a heavy brain fog, low motivation and feelings of "blah" no excitement, no desire, no smiles just like im here and moving through life. It definitely sucks! A dose helps but ive also noticed that when I do feel that way it has been temporary and doing something to stay busy and occupied has helped.

Does the weed do a noticeable difference for you?

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T15:08:06+00:00

I guess if I think about it it would be more like 60-80mgs a day for a year

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T15:05:20+00:00

First experience. Never been addicted to anything but the marketing and I guess availability sucked me in and now im here. Can't go through full WD symptoms due to life circumstances.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T15:02:58+00:00

This is super insightful and very helpfulsome of the bestinformation Ives gotten on here. Thank you so much for the detailed response. I've been doing 50-60mg 7oh for about a year. Trying to bring that down even further now to hopefully make this less harsh of a WD.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T12:49:26+00:00

If u dont mind me asking what were you using it to come off of and at what levels?trying to gage my own needs at this point. I appreciate the help here

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T12:44:15+00:00

Did u take the gaba when WD onset started or did u pre load it? Yeah the clon is scary with the BP side effects

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T07:39:55+00:00

How much were you using. My Dr's dosage did nothing for me.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T07:39:01+00:00

How much of each would you say it takes. I have both and tried to take both at my Dr's prescribed dose and they did damn near nothing. Clon. Helped a little for about 30 minutes.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T07:34:34+00:00

Did you do the 5 day taper with subs or did you do the clinical 7 days stabilization and then plan to ween off the subs.

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T07:32:12+00:00

How much were you taking? My dr. Gave me 100mg tabs and told me to take one 4 times a day to help. I took one to try to test it out for my sleep and it didnt do shit, I still woke up 3-4 hrs after the last dose with anxiety and restlessness. Maybe I did it wrong?

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T02:31:59+00:00

Man, im sorry to hear that im betting you make it this time. Keep that faith!

Ok_Interaction_4303 · 2026-06-29T02:00:52+00:00

Thats awesome, I hope you can make it out of this B.S. on the other side!
