7-OH Tapering log

Yeah the pain breakthrough is an extra burden to be certain. Honestly I think the main reason I dose when I’m trying to taper off is mostly because I’ve gotten so accustomed to the buzz and don’t want to deal with the discomfort, but the pain relief is pretty prominent too. I’m almost wondering if a weekend when I don’t work would be the best time to do my more dramatic dose reductions, I just have to not be a bitch about it 🤣
 
Fell off for a long while, but I’m back at it trying to taper down. I’ll be posting the jumble of data I’ve kept on my phone to track dosages and thoughts of how to succeed this time. I suppose it’s a bit of a look into the process. I hope everyone is well

15-20 days? I have 7000mg- enough for 300mg daily, but will taper to jump off…EDIT: nah…it’s been 5+ months. BUT, I’ve made more progress than ever, and I think I have a real shot at sobriety.

Five days at or below 260mg with up to one shot. Transition to 240mg or below with up to one shot. It’s time to work for it. Dosage reduction has been relatively painless at 40mg so far, so if 220mg a day goes well I’ll reduce dosage by 50mg or 60mg, or drop 20mg per 2-3 days next time. I could be looking to jump in a month or less!!!! Big progress! Keep it up!

First day under 200mg and I probably could have finished at 165mg!!! No bad symptoms. HUGE PROGRESS down from 5-600!!! Start 220mg or less.


Dosing after 6pm destroys my sleep***

Tue- 170mg - last dose @ 510pm

Wed- 60mg - last dose @ 735am (9/9)

***something changed. On Labor Day I felt good for 3.5 hours between doses. Ending under 200mg was nothing. I am making excellent progress. I think I have plenty to finish this taper***

***I fear once I get around the 100mg/day mark I’m going to have to work for it.

***starting the day with 20mg or less, and 80mg or less until 10am is crucial- starting with big doses drives heavier use***

****withdrawals hit 8-12 hours from last dose, but a dose too close to bed will keep me up. Try a low dose around 6pm so I can sleep until at least 4am?****

****keep a dose for at least 3-4 days before reducing again. went from crazy to mostly 400 and down, to under 300- under 300 was my first big decrease. Removed constipation. Successful and mostly peaceful 6 hour sleep gap. Next mark will be below 250. Sleep remains shitty***

****shooting for under 300mg for 3 consecutive days, then taper down***

*****THC is a GREAT tool, but I have to avoid just running it alongside the 7OH, it has to be a replacement****

***no thc past 330am unless it’s a day off. I’m fucking lazy otherwise***

****first dose dictates moreishness…try starting with no more than 50mg and see how long I can go****

****feel good dose seems to be 120-200mg in the morning. This number has to gradually come down****

****I have to be prepared to be INCREDIBLY sad and uncomfortable. Three days dry is all I need***
 
Persistence is what its all about. You got this

Improvement isnt linear. Plateaus and falls dont mean anything if your overall trajectory is upward. Youve made amazing progress
