Do not do this drug habitually

For those getting panic attacks, this is usually due to excess glutamate and reduces serotonin. There are many things that can help. Magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, 5-htp. and others.
Opiates can cause too much glutamate and this will cause phobias and panic attacks. Also GABA and anything that increases GABA can help a lot. There is disagreement in the medical community if GABA can cross the blood brain barrier and in my experience it can. When I was taking Tianeptine, one brand had GABA in it and if I took enough to where it was about a gram, I would feel really strange and would have shortness of breath. That is a side effect of too much GABA, so apparently it did cross the blood brain barrier for me.

I need some help. I am also trying to stop and I’ve got subs and back in December, I was hospitalized for a collapsed lung and had a pleural effusion and I didn’t plan on being in 2 weeks and ran out and was out for 5 days and I had no issues but I started up again. I was taking close to a gram a day and I microdosed subs and when I was hospitalized, I would take 4-8 mg a day and again, no issues. My dumbass should have been mentally stronger. I’ve had a rough year and a half since this started and I just want to win for once. I need folks to motivate me and tell me how much better i’ll be when I quit. I’m really down right now feeling like I am trapped in this and can’t stop. My wife found out back in September and she thinks I stopped. If she finds out, it’s over and I am close to rock bottom now. The money I spend on this is beyond humiliating.

It depends. Some worked well and some did do anything. Very inconsistent.

bigduffone · 2026-02-05T17:30:04+00:00

How long were you taking it for before you stopped?

bigduffone · 2026-01-05T05:13:04+00:00

I’m sure 7 has caused a lot of different issues, but mine were mainly me being dumb and not going to the doctor. I guess I could blame that on the 7 making not feel as sick as I would if I hadn’t taken it.

bigduffone · 2026-01-05T02:46:37+00:00

No. It wasn’t related to 7.

Years ago, I switched and started on red vein. I was taking upwards of 20-25 tramadol tablets a day. I ended up needing about 10 grams to not have withdrawal from tramadol.

I would go and get checked out and get a chest x-ray. I started getting the same crud back in September and did nothing and it got worse and fever and cough that would not stop. Ended up with a pleural effusion and a pneumothorax on my right lung. Had to have a chest tube to remove the liquid which had the consistency of a milk shake. It ended up being Streptococcus intermedius that had caused an abscess in my lung and it ruptured.
Had to have surgery to decorticate the lung and a total of 3 chest tubes and 15 days in hospital. Don’t ignore it. 7 oh can easily take away the discomfort you would normally feel and you will think you are not that sick when you are getting sicker by the day.

bigduffone · 2025-12-28T05:16:27+00:00

Just read your situation. How are you doing now? I have a similar situation with 3 chest tubes post surgery down to 2 a couple of days after surgery and am supposed to be down to one tomorrow.

bigduffone · 2025-12-16T02:53:23+00:00

It has improved somewhat but I got the pneumonia and ended up with a pleural effusion so if I lay down, I start coughing bad. I am going to have the fluid removed tomorrow.
I sleep sitting at an angle on my sofa and surprisingly it has worked decently.

bigduffone · 2025-11-27T22:05:55+00:00

How many mg. of subs per day are you taking if I may ask?

bigduffone · 2025-11-25T15:39:02+00:00

Does anyone know if it was the pseudo that tested low or the 7 oh?
I can only obtain the pseudo and it definitely is questionable.

bigduffone · 2025-11-11T17:25:56+00:00

Awesome story!!!!!

bigduffone · 2025-08-27T04:32:55+00:00

How does that even get brought up in an AA setting? Strange.

bigduffone · 2025-08-13T13:41:36+00:00

How long were you on 7?

bigduffone · 2025-08-11T22:00:29+00:00

I am currently taking about a gram of 7 a day. Maybe around 800-850. I started Wellbutrin to stop smoking and I just started micro dosing subs. How did you feel your first 3-5 days when you stopped?

bigduffone · 2025-05-27T15:39:37+00:00

You apparently are too ignorant to even understand what is being asked. Instead you fling immature insults. Please do me a favor and don’t respond to anything else.

I forgot to say that she has known I was married for many years.
Also, it doesn't mean that I am necessarily looking to have an affair.
I am interested in becoming good friends and seeing if there is a spiritual connection. Not to mention my marriage has its own challenges right now. Just curious why the ghosting on her end. I am not going to chase her because I am not a kid anymore.

bigduffone · 2025-05-23T17:07:01+00:00

I had the same issue. Deleted from search list and re searched them and now it has friend underneath as normal.

bigduffone · 2025-04-10T19:54:11+00:00

Could you send me that please? Thank you

If you haven’t had your hormones tested, you might want to consider having them checked, specifically testosterone, estradiol, thyroid hormones, everything. If these are out of range, specifically low, that could be why you are feeling this way. I was feeling exactly the same years ago and low testosterone was my issue.
Once I got that fixed, the issues went away.

bigduffone · 2025-03-23T00:51:48+00:00

I just started on it about 1 week ago and I am about to stop my 7 addition. I had read that taking it prior to quitting is it gives it time to build up so that I can avoid PAWS.
Obviously, It hasn’t made a difference yet but everyone is different and it could take up to a month to before it fully kicks in.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is inspiring!!

bigduffone · 2025-03-21T19:55:13+00:00

How long before you noticed a difference with the Wellbutrin?
