Interesting. How's the taper going?
Great! Thanks for asking
I used mainly 7-OH but also some occasional Kratom leaf on and off (mostly on) for like 2 months? maybe even three months? I started at 20-80mg 7-OH at night then by the end it was 120mg-240mg 7-OH at night. Started to find myself needing 20mg to get through the last couple of hours at work and that's when I decided to try the SR-17018. I did no taper with the 7-OH or Kratom before hand. Just dropped them on the first day of my weekend. 28mg of SR-17018 every 8-10 hours the first day, then dropping 2 or 3mg per dose every 1-2 days.
Today is one week since dropping the mitragynine products and beginning SR-17018. I woke up today feeling some restlessness in my legs, so I took 18mgshortly after waking and now I feel fine. My plan was to drop the SR-17018 today. We'll see how long until I feel the need for another dose.
SR-17018 is amazing stuff though. No real high although my first 2 or 3 doses I could "feel". Not high, but definitely off baseline. Psychoactive? Yes. Recreational? Not at all.
One more thing of note, when I'm in WD and take SR-17018, it can take a while to really ease most of the symptoms, which can lead to thinking that you undershot the dose and need more. I find it takes a few hours to reach full effect. Relief from some WD symptoms can be felt within 30 minutes or so on an empty stomach. However, very mild symptoms may persist for another 2 or 3 hours before easing the majority, if not all of the symptoms. I was able to go the whole week without hardly ever thinking about kratom or 7-OH. I was able to get through a very busy work week, no problem.
For people who are hopelessly addicted to fentanyl, heroin, high doses of pharmaceutical opioids, etc; I personally think that Buprenorphine is still the best first step for them. Buprenorphine covers symptoms and most importantly, cravings, much more so than SR-17018. Considering the possibility of SR-17018 reducing tolerance to opioids, I think that Suboxone/Buprenorphine is the safest bet for people at high risk of relapse.
SR-17018 I think is best for people who are building a habit that they don't like, or who are starting to enter physical addiction. It's great for people who started on buprenorphine and now want to be 100% opioid free. So far, SR-17018 is miraculous stuff and an insanely valuable tool. It very much has a place in recovery and should be utilized by medical professionals/psychiatry.

Yeah I'm good, had a real rough patch a couple months ago, finally paused the methadone taper about a month ago (down to 20mg daily from 170) and just completed an out of state move last week. Been lurking some but mostly not posting. I'm doing much better though... more or less leveled out from the taper stoppage, over 2 months no alcohol or nitrous, which had become problem substances, and I'm in a better living situation surrounded by more opportunities. So no complaints here. How are things with you these days?
I'm down to a pretty low dose now - and couldn't resist trying whether I'd be able to get high again - as I always did after any taper so far 
. .. Wasn't satisfied and had to pay for that, too, or rather I still do, fatigue- wise.. It's gonna take a lot more to get over the habit, and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to or when I'll finally believe that it's never going to be that good again 
... 
Sorry 
Hope it's a sustainable outcome! It's been a while but I believe that I also noticed it takes quite a bit for fully taking effect
Interesting thought. But besides all justified doubts about the real potency of what is sold as 7oh - imo 200 mg+ of 7oh is not little. A single week on 40-60 mg/day had me in terrible WD that I couldn't catch with Kratom leaf and that was absolutely on par with H (that also in very limited doses)... I can but be amazed at the fact that anyone can abuse this stuff sm and just walk away like it's not a big deal.
