Kratom Quitting 7OH/Kratom

[ak2013]

I’m a former BlueLight user from back in the 2010s when etizolam was popular, so I figured I’d come here for some advice.

I’m a paraplegic with severe peripheral neuropathy due to a genetic nerve disease. The worst of it is in my legs and lower back. It’s the kind of nerve pain that even high doses of gabapentin barely touch. I found kratom around 2018 after moving to Texas (I had experimented with it before but Alabama had banned it). I was looking for something to help the pain that Gabapentin wasn’t touching, and I found that kratom worked really well. For 5+ years, I was taking extracts, mainly OPMS Gold (4-5 capsules a day).

About a year ago, 7OH really started hitting the market, and it worked even better. Since then, I’ve been taking about 200 mg total per day of 7OH, along with 1-2 kratom extract caps. About a 2 years ago I got COVID, and my doctor considered me “high risk” due to childhood asthma, so he prescribed the COVID antiviral. Unfortunately, it also caused a precipitated withdrawal from kratom. I spent about two days in bed with the worst restless legs and anxiety I’ve ever experienced. And this was before I touched 7OH.

All that to say, 7OH is likely going to be banned at some point, and I want to be proactive. Does anyone have advice on the best way to get off? I can handle flu-like symptoms, digestive issues, and general malaise, but I absolutely cannot handle the extreme RLS and anxiety. When I accidentally detoxed, gabapentin and muscle relaxers didn’t even come close to touching it and I didn’t sleep for days. I’ve since gotten off gabapentin, but I still have an active prescription, so I do have a stockpile of that and methocarbamol, though they didn’t help much last time. I’ve tried tapering, but even that causes pretty gnarly RLS.

I’m open to RCs (though I’ve away from them for so long I am not familiar with good sources), meds, supplements, and any other tools available to help. Do yall have any good advice for how to go about it?

I also have similar issues to you and I find that Suboxone does limit the pain because it does play around with your pain receptors. I was using 70H for pain relief but I was taking a lot more than what you were. I live in Connecticut and beginning January 1-7 They made it illegal in CT. I do feel that you would probably need 12/4 mg at least of Suboxone I did work with my PCP just switch over the first day sucked but the second day I felt a lot better. You might not be as bad because like I said I was on at least 800 mg a day so only taking 200 is a good thing.!. unless you’re followed by a pain specialist or doctor and prescribed any type of medication that you need to get drug tested for then I don’t know if I would tell them, but if you are not on anything then I would tell them and they can work with you it was legal. I can’t do anything explain to them how it helps you. Maybe they could put you on a better pain regimen good luck! PS cutting cold turkey is agony. I can’t deal with flopping around like a fish and every minute that passes by feels like an hour.

I forgot to mention also to help with withdrawal feelings do you have to be a prescribed, but use Bentyl for upset stomach, clonidine for anxiety because hydroxyzine is not as strong, Zofran for nausea and somehow it does make you feel better using some type of acid blocker probably because when you’re going through withdrawal, you do not really want to eat. And take two or three warm/ hotter baths.
