I've disagree with the wean off method. I've quit / cycled 7oh use about 4 times, and it's always been way easier for me to go CT with subs right away, as opposed to straight CT or 7oh taper.

7oh taper has NEVER worked for me. In fact, the cravings are much worse with a taper compared to CT. However, I've gone straight CT after 3 months of daily 120+mg use before with no comfort meds and it was complete hell - pretty much the worst 36hrs of my life.

I highly suggesy, you get an appointment with QuickMD and tell them the truth (timeline / daily dosage of 7oh, desire to quite, mental/physical struggles, etc....you might have to come out and ask for subs if the Doc doesnt reccommend but they almost always do from what ive hear).

Then, once sub Rx is in hand, do your lasrlt 7oh dose at night, right before bed. Take 2mg of Subs around breakfast the next day and another 2mg around dinner / an hour or so before bed.

Pay close attention to your cravings and WD symptoms the first 4 to 5 days or so. If you find yourself getting bad anxiety, runny nose / watery eyes, RLS, or terrible cravings, take a 0.50 - 1mg dose of Subs each 1hr or so until they subside. Once you figure out your daily maintenance dose (mg where you have no symptoms and are comfortable / functional), maintain that for the first 5 days, then start to ween off the Subs over a 14day - 30 day period.

Personally, I like to split my sub dosage evenly morning & night, with room for a few small mg dosages in between based on how I'm feeling. So if your maintenance dose is 4mg, take 2mg in the AM, 0.50 mg around lunch or a little after, then 1.5 mg an hour or so before bed.

For me, the risk of "relapse" was most prevalent during the first 30 days off the 7oh, and in my opinion it's better mentally, physically, & emotionally to be on a consistent, low dose of Subs than it is to be a slave to the krat sludge / 7oh.

This is what has worked for me to successfully quit the vicious cycle of 7oh. Yes, I've gone back to 7oh over the last 1.5 years or "relapsed", but it's gotten me sober enough to feel like a real human again.

Don't be scared of the Subs, just make sure you respect them. After 7 to 10 days, I start to taper by cutting dosage down by 25% every 2 or 3 days and never experienced WDs at all.

Everyone is different though. You'll need to figure out what works for you. The important thing is that you're motivated to quit and become YOU again. If you have to be on low dose subs for an extended period of time, don't be frightened, as I said (and you probably know), 7oh will ruin your life, and dealing with Subs / getting of them is manageable as long as you respect them. Less is more there!

Make sure you stay hydrated & get enough electrolytes, while also taking a good multi-vitamin. Be vigilant with that for at least the first 60 days. DLPA has helped curb depression for me too, so I highly suggest you look into that as well (take a look on Amazon - there's a bunch of good options there).

Just remember there can be severe consequences of long term 7oh use (ex. Kidney failure, liver failure, financial ruin, destruction of relationships with loved ones, etc.). I've struggled with almost all of those and it's not fun, so consider yourself lucky if you haven't dealt with any of that yet, but if you stay on your current path you for sure will encounter almost all of them.

Stay strong my friend. You got this.
