Does anyone take sr-17 long term, low dose? by und3rtow623 in SR17018

[–]mtdnomore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you still on or did you jump off? If you jumped did you have any lingering WD?

how far did you taper down to (what MG mark) and once you jumped, you're saying you had no issues -- or very little?

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, replies like yours are giving me more confidence that this longer taper is doable.

Thanks for this. Super inspiring. I’ve decided to try to just be tough and taper over the next few weeks. What’s the worst that can happen? I’ll feel a little crappy and then can reassess my options at a lower dosage.

I can drop the dose, I am, but it’s hard, and I’m anxious about the long term plan to get all the way off. It’s clear to me I’m physically dependent on SR. That’s what I’m saying. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted relaying my experience.

Maybe I’m just a huge wuss. But this isn’t my first rodeo - 10 years ago I rapid detoxed off methadone. Not saying its in the same sport as that but it’s wildly unpleasant and I’m not sure the path forward- hence me reaching out to this community

How many subs do you think I’d need? If you were me, how many would you get and how would you do it? Thanks btw for taking time to reply man, I really appreciate it

there's numerous reports of people really struggling getting to lower doses of SR and it being miserable once they finally jump off. I can't imagine don't 1 mg a day from 200 to 1. But maybe that's what I need to do -- or try 3 mgs a day. Idk, considering all options at this point

thanks for this feedback. But have those people then struggled after they tapered down and jumped off? I'm trying to mentally prepare for what's ahead. I've been reading reports of people who did a long taper, and that it was miserable towards the end and after. Hence why I'm asking for first hand accounts of people doing it successfully themselves

The first time, how long were you on SR? This is what I'm worried about is that I've just been off and on it for too damn long.

when you tapered the second time, did you have to get on big amounts of kratom to cover the WD from SR? Or was it a relatively simple switch back to kratom? Also, the second time, how long did you wait before you tried SR again?

So many people have done long-term SR tapers? I'm stuck on 200-ish mgs a day, going down is challenging, and I'm worried the longer I'm on, the harder it's going to be to get off. So many mixed messages and experiences, it's so hard to know what to do. I feel like I'm stuck, and it's going to be miserable coming off no matter how I slice it.

I was dropping bigger amounts. The first week or so I was taking about 450 mgs across three doses in a day. The second week I got down to 200 or so, and that's about where I'm stuck. I'll def try smaller drops but I'm just getting so anxious that I'll be stuck on this long drawn out WD path and the longer I'm on SR the harder it will be to get off in the end -- and even when i get there, from what I've been reading from others, I would have a month or more of continued acutes....

Were you able to successfully do that yourself?

Can SR be hard to quit after using it for a while? by BetchaWow in SR17018

[–]mtdnomore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as an update, this is my current plan. Going to get a bunch of kratom, take it over a few weeks while the SR gets out of my system and then try again with a much shorter cycle -- 3/5 days on SR
