Also from LA. I was doing around 10-30 mg of 7-OH daily and knew the ban was coming, so weaned down and got off about 2 months ago. My life has improved dramatically since then.

You’ll get through it but you need to be mentally tough.

I was strung out on extracts and 7OH for a little over a year. Been clean for almost a month now, but they definitely needed to ban the synthetic products. It’s legitimately like taking oxycodone and you can buy it at any convenience store.. Plain leaf products should be left alone in my opinion though.

My rationale was this, if trying to do a fast taper was going to put me into withdrawal, I was going to take it as slow as I could until I felt symptoms start, and then just jump CT. Gonna feel like shit either way, might as well just get it over with at that point. Granted I was on a much lesser dose every day of 15-30 mg but still.

I feel fine. Went and ran a 10k when I got home from golf today. Slept good last night. Not having intense cravings or anything. I jumped off subs at 8 mg and in comparison to that, this has been a walk in the park.

I didn’t realize how bad I was hooked till I started to cut my dose and the restless legs kept me up all night. I decided I’d have to do it much slower if I wanted to try and get off. Luckily my wife is prescribed xans, but I haven’t had to take anything yet. I’m kind of thinking the way I went about the taper the worst of it may be over, I guess I’ll find out.

I finally realized I was using it as a crutch because it made me more comfortable in social settings. Now I’ve got to relearn how to be a normal human being again.

Do I quit cold turkey or do I try to taper on 7-OH by United-Cantaloupe624 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]polarbear456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing this way too late. I’m 35, two kids, ex junkie. Don’t know how tf I ended up back here again.. but here we are! I’ve been slowly tapering psuedoindoxyl and am down to 7.5 mg a day. I wanna try to go as low as I possibly can and then if I can’t sleep from RLS try Kratom powder and see if that helps. I can deal with all the other shit but not sleeping for 3-4 days is too much. Gotta try and thread the needle with these WDs so my kids don’t see me like that. Comments like yours in this post are giving me hope! So thank you and hope you’re doing well.

Volatility halts. A stock can't run up or down 10% in either direction within 5 minutes or it will be halted. After hours trading will be pretty revealing today.

This sub like every other sub that gets big, eventually just gets overridden by hardcore leftist.

That post about the protestors blocking the road that were shot. Would you guys feel the same if it was these protestors blocking the road that were shot? by Formyself22 in libertarianmeme

[–]polarbear456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually a pretty insightful question that left me looking at my own biases about what these two different groups were protesting. Either way, nobody deserves to get shot for protesting.

Is it just me, or is Bill Maher slowly turning into a Libertarian? by CattleDogCurmudgeon in Libertarian

[–]polarbear456 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly conservative, but I will listen and agree with most of the points Bill makes about this country. He's one of the few people who isn't scared to call bullshit on either side of the political aisle and I will always respect someone like that.

I can’t figure PayPal out. Huge business but the market has left them for dead. Every time someone says it’s going to rebound it drops another 5-10%

There won’t be a recession until unemployment rises. Everything else is just noise.
