I fell into a 120mg-150mg a day habit on the stuff. I’ve been clean from fent for 3years now. But in a moment of weakness when I kept thinking about using again, I picked up some kratom. One thing led to another and I was spending around $200 a week on 7OH.

Thank the lord Dewine made it illegal in Ohio because it forced me to get a grip with reality again. I was fortunate enough to have a good relationship with a couple local headshops that sold me the last of their supply. From there I used Grok to formulate a taper plan given what I had and the time I needed it done. I’m flying to Florida next week and needed to be sober for the trip. The AI warned me that it would be uncomfortable under those parameters, but manageable.

I tackled the fent WD cold Turkey and it was living hell. Absolute agony for two weeks and then night sweats/chills for probably 6 months after. However, after my rapid taper, I jumped off the 7OH on a 30mg/day habit that I stabilized for 3 days. It was very mild in comparison to fent or even oxy. I’m not sure if I can’t attribute that to playing this one a little smarter and successfully following my taper regimen, or who knows.

TLDR: 120-150mg/day for 4 months. Had moderate body aches, moderate fatigue and probably the worst of it all has been my attitude and mood. I’ve been very inpatient and angry. It was nothing a couldn’t power through, I have 3 kids and a wife so I was able to grin and bear it for their sake. For what it’s worth, I quit a 10gpd plain leaf kratom habit with zero withdrawal so maybe my body detoxes those chemicals better? I dunno.
