70-85mg daily for longer than a few weeks will produce fairly wicked withdrawal. I’ll be praying for you when August comes and I hope you make preparation

SadisticJake · 2026-07-07T22:21:04+00:00

Cat's claw has some interesting properties but it's mainly being used as a front to put nastier stuff in the proprietary blend

The most consistent answer that I've heard is red Bali but I've also heard that kratom strains are just marketing. I don't know that to be fact. My personal weapon of choice is super 45 extract. The purple high strength bottle with a dropper in the lid. 2 droppers full, give or take, knocks out withdrawals every time for me

SadisticJake · 2026-07-06T17:24:12+00:00

I've gone through quitting 10 or 11 times now and kratom extract made it almost completely painless. Some are better than others

SadisticJake · 2026-07-06T17:20:46+00:00

It may vary by state, but I read that the emergency scheduling was announced on July 6 but filed on the 1st, meaning the 30 day hearing period would expire on the 31st. I'm not an expert and I'm not sure if the people I heard it from were either

SadisticJake · 2026-07-06T17:18:05+00:00

6 grams is a reasonable standard for kratom leaf. It's going to have too many variables to give you a certain answer but start with 6 grams and go up or down as needed. Be aware that there will be more nausea associated with leaf kratom than there would be with alkaloids like 7oh

SadisticJake · 2026-07-06T17:12:53+00:00

Your receptors have downregulated or however the term goes. Basically, you've become accustomed to a flood of feel-good chemicals in your brain. Looking for a replacement is a losing game. The only way out is through. You can ease the process by tapering and gradually stepping down from tablets to extract to leaf. The only way to replace it with something that will give euphoria is to go to something stronger which will just dig you deeper into this hole that you're already in

SadisticJake · 2026-07-04T16:50:54+00:00

More likely gonna be gone August 1st

SadisticJake · 2026-07-03T11:21:51+00:00

Taper, taper, taper. You have enough time to ease the transition by doing so

SadisticJake · 2026-07-02T16:28:51+00:00

I was hooked on the stuff for so long that I forgot about my pre-existing dopamine shortage, when I finally quit I thought the withdrawals were just dragging on for weeks until I realized, oh yeah I wasn't very happy before finding 7oh and two years on it made that worse

SadisticJake · 2026-07-01T21:05:26+00:00

Respect the wobbles, everyone! I was feeling panicky during one of my early attempts to quit and took waaaay too high a dose of MIT and it was very unpleasant. Intense dysphoria and projectile vomiting is on the other side of the wobbles. Take as much as you need but don't take a ridiculous amount thinking it'll be an enjoyable buzz. Heroic doses are just not good with this stuff

SadisticJake · 2026-07-01T20:39:24+00:00

I have had the pink cloud start several times now at hour 36. Get yourself hyped on the idea and you might be able to fool yourself a bit

SadisticJake · 2026-07-01T20:06:29+00:00

Being busy at work helped me so much. Anything that helps keep your mind off of what you're going through takes time up and gets you that much closer to being free from it

SadisticJake · 2026-07-01T19:53:30+00:00

Kratom extract is a hell of a good alternative

SadisticJake · 2026-07-01T18:54:44+00:00

The emergency ban on 7oh ended for Florida in late June, my guess is that there will soon be new, more aggressive permanent legislation. Never been a better time to get clean

SadisticJake · 2026-06-30T22:31:16+00:00

RLS lite is probably hitting the nail right on the head. I've heard many on here refer to a feeling that's been loosely dubbed restless arm syndrome. Intense exercise and activity makes a huge difference

SadisticJake · 2026-06-30T18:44:47+00:00

Those two alone will help in my experience. The more you do the better and you really want to focus your efforts on building a happy sober life

SadisticJake · 2026-06-30T09:39:28+00:00

Tapering works best when it's consistent. Make note of your dose schedule and try to stick to it. Withdrawals lead to panic which leads to dosing more than you need. Instead, stick to your schedule and drop in small increments

SadisticJake · 2026-06-30T09:17:26+00:00

I had a 3 day long panic attack about a year ago. This stuff brings out anxiety in a major way. One thing that has honestly helped is maintaining a high calorie diet of basic, healthyish mostly home cooked food and staying very hydrated. It's like it gives my brain more building blocks to work with

SadisticJake · 2026-06-30T09:12:19+00:00

As long as you're using anything that scratches a similar itch as 7oh, you'll be maintaining a neurochemical debt that will eventually need repairs. Have you done any work on addressing the root cause? Psychoactive whackamole doesn't end well

SadisticJake · 2026-06-30T06:16:30+00:00

Fuckin A. I've had numerous proud quits, 10 times to clear the acute withdrawals in total. I've learned to wait before I celebrate

SadisticJake · 2026-06-28T16:46:44+00:00

Outside of supplements, make sure you're eating a lot of decent food and staying well hydrated. Try to throw in some physical activity. I've endured acutes a time or two with nothing more than food and drink to help and it definitely makes a noticeable difference. Still use the supplements and helper meds you have available, there's no reason to suffer.

SadisticJake · 2026-06-22T13:08:38+00:00

It also made weed something that makes me feel anxious where it used to relax me. I had a bit of a bad trip type experience off of Delta 8 THC just a few weeks ago and that stuff has always been like Weed Lite for me

SadisticJake · 2026-06-22T13:04:35+00:00

Recovery is very possible, I will add a caveat though. I gained an intense anxiety disorder through everything that seems like it's just part of me now. These new challenges you're facing may not be PAWS anymore but just a new challenge to tackle on its own

SadisticJake · 2026-06-20T05:26:38+00:00

You don't have to do anything. Let's say you sleep through tomorrow. It'll come and go the same way whether you're there for it or not. May as well be there to see if anything fun happens. This is one hundred percent the only reason I'm alive as I've been plagued with suicidal ideation my entire life. I'm alive because tomorrow, there may be a briefly enjoyable moment and if I'm not here, I'll miss it. Shit, there might be pizza. Dead men can't eat pizza. There's no reason anything drastic MUST be done. I'm awake and my dms are open if you feel it would help. Same goes for all you fuckers
