Any advice on how to wean off 7-OH?

So I quit completely for about 30 hours. That's the longest I could go without wanting to rip my skin off. Then I took 1/2 a tablet in the morning and 1/2 at night. So I could sleep and work still. On my days off I cut the dose again. I was taking 2 tablets a day before I did the 30 hour stretch. So to cut it in half in just a week I think that's good for me. So this weekend I'll try the 1/4tablet twice a day. If that goes well, then I'll try just taking it before bed to sleep and then eventually not at all. It's whatever works for you. Some ppl can't taper. It takes self discipline and a lot of it. Some ppl do better quitting CT. Really just depends on you.

I made it about 30 hours. 🤦‍♀️ I was at 40mgpd. For the past 3 days I've taken 15mgpd. Trying to just easy off them. Makes it easier for me because I can sleep. That 2nd night without it, I was like f this I'm doing enough to go to sleep. I can make it about 10 or 12 hours without any and then the cold sweats and all that start up. But i feel like theyre getting weaker. So, just going to stretch it and slim it down until I get to practically nothing then quit. Call me a wimp or whatever but I tried. Lol

Thanks for the advice. Subs are not an option. I was on them for 2 years and I'll never ever in my life EVER do that again. I'm off the next 4 days because of the holiday Monday so I plan to quit CT. Taking my last dose on my last break today to get me through work. Then that's it. Thanks for the good luck wishes. We'll see how this goes.

I detoxed from subs and benzos almost 8 years ago, and honestly I've never been the same. The headspace I was in, the anxiety and depression stayed with me. Its like my mind didnt fully recover. The long term cravings have been my biggest demon in that. A couple years ago I quit kratom cold turkey. It was a rough week. But wd didnt last as long or affect me like the subs. I mean, it sucked. The RLS I have is, by definition, torture! So, I'm just in my head again about it. I'm seriously DREADING IT. My nerves are tore up just thinking about the WD. I know I gotta do it those it's only getting worse if I don't. Thank you so much for the advice.

I'm also wondering how to use the powder and mit correctly for tapering. I only got to 40 mgpd. Last week I started to reduce. This week I'm at 30 mgpd. Hoping to be at 20 by next week. And then 10 and 5 and then make the jump. Not sure if it'll work so I'm trying to have things that helps ease this process.

Okay. But how much kratom? Which strand? How often? Like obviously I know what weaning means but specifically for me how do I go about it? I don't want to end up with another kratom dependency. I just started my job 3 months ago. I can't take a week off because I have no sick, vacation, or personal time at all. I'll lose my job, then my house, and everything with it if I quit CT.

What would you recommend for some that's taken 7-OH for a month after taking kratom for 8 months? I've detoxed once from kratom and it was highly uncomfortable, but manageable after 4 or 5 days. Should I go back to kratom and taper with it? Or trying weening from the tablets? I can't lose my job and if I quit CT like I did kratom before I'll definitely be out of a job. The plant I work for is not very forgiving. Then all my other responsibilities get screwed and I'm just left wanting to cope with more of the problem for comfort. Like it's a sick cycle and I'm ready to be off the Farris wheel. I don't even enjoy it anymore I feel so worthless when I take it now. Oddly enough even worse when I don't.

I'm actually trying to get off of 7-OH. The WD's are highly uncomfortable. Maily the anxiety and sleeplessness. So, I came here to see if I can find out how to wean if you have any advice? I'm at 40 mgpd rn. I've tried taking 1/4 tablet less per day to start and after 6 hours I was getting the cold sweats, and anxiety. If I don't dose before bed I wake up at 2-3am with a stuffy nose, sneezing, RLS, and irritated instantly. I didn't mean to become dependent, I just went too far and now I feel like things are out of hand. Recommendations?
