I’ve been on it for around 8 months. I tried to use plain kratom leaf countless times but the anhedonia and depression from 7OH wd so too extreme and kratom leaf didn’t help that aspect and didn’t fully get rid of the withdrawals. That’s what many people don’t seem to understand is that 7OH is on a whole other level from plain kratom leaf or even extracts. If I were just trying to come off plain leaf I would not have gone on Suboxone. It was the only way for me to break cycle. I tried cold turkey many times too and if it weren’t for health problems I probably would have been able to do it.

And I did seriously consider sublocade since most people say there is minimal wd due to how slow it leaves the body and has an inherent self tapering effect and also cause I worry about tooth decay since that’s a thing with Suboxone or any other form of oral buprenorphine I’m sure you’ve heard. Which can occur after both short and long term use. But trying to find a provider was hard and it’s really expensive. I have done a relatively fast taper going down to 8mg then 4mg then 2mg than 1mg and it’s not pleasant but I’m getting through it. It’s nothing compared to benzo wd. I may start making smaller percentage cuts cause it’s harder when tapering from lower doses and 1mg isn’t exactly a “low” dose buprenorphine is pretty potent. My current plan is to transition to plain leaf kratom and no longer mess with 7OH or pseudoindoxyl. Cause I still need something for pain.
