I would like to share my experience regarding substance use. I was an intravenous drug user for nearly 15 years and have been off strong opioids for some time, but I developed a significant dependency on seven, My intake was approximately 240-300 mg daily, which I used to mitigate pain from pinched nerves in my neck. I tried to allow the sr medication to build up in my system for two days before I stopped using the seven, taking 75 mg three times a day while tapering quickly. The first three days went smoothly, but when I switched exclusively to the SR, I began to experience pain in my neck and legs almost immediately, along with severe temperature fluctuations and anxiety that became unbearable after 48 hours. In summary, this approach has significantly reduced my tolerance; I am currently at about 60-80 mg daily after two weeks of attempting to quit entirely.
However, the cold turkey method is not feasible for me with kratom derivatives. Overall, I find this research chemical to be quite effective, and I plan to try again when I acquire more, potentially with a month-long taper down to 0 mg as my next strategy. Maybe incorporating benzodiazepines for the initial anxiety.
