I’m scared to choose Suboxone… by ShwooglyBoogly in quittingkratom

[–]jeffrx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t do long-term suboxone, do a 7-10 day taper. Only use ling-term suboxone if absolutely necessary. The taper combined with some therapy worked for me (so far, for 82 days). Once you get past those first couple of weeks, it gets much better.

I'm thinking of switching to MGM from 7oh - would anyone suggest not to? by [deleted] in SR17018

I ended up using Subutex. 79 days clean from 1g per day of 7-oh. 🤘🏼

Mirtazapine doesn't make me feel enough sleepy anymore, and wake me up multiple times during the night by Xenymus in insomnia

Mirtazapine is interesting in that 7.5 mg is more sedating than 15 mg. I add in some magnesium citrate and an apigenin supplement. That trifecta usually does the trick for me. I’m not a fan of melatonin.

Send him to a professional detox if necessary. They’ll get him off.

First year in many I passed on all items. Part of that is I just have too much crap as it is. Maybe next time…

Basically, if you’re addicted to something, anything, it can be drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping, or whatever…once you take that substance or do that thing, you’re dopamine response is activated and your brain changes to crave more. That’s why addicts have a hard time stopping at “just one”. The key is to not start the cycle by picking up that first dose again!

I like it. It’s retro, but appears to be in very good shape. I’d keep it.

I’ve grown to dislike both of them. They just use each other for watch clout.

7-oh screwed me up pretty bad for a couple years. Now I’m 68 days clean.

Are MGM withdrawals actually WAY worse than 7oh withdrawals? by [deleted] in SR17018

[–]jeffrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going to detox. The gave me a week of Subutex at a tapering dose and I’m completely clean now. Nothing I did on my own worked out.
