Word of advice (kindling & SR17 withdrawal)

I was on suboxone for years so my body has been fully dependent on opiods in the past.

I've been binging on MIT nearly every weekend for the past year, around 150mg a day (2 days in a row), and would then just ride out the noticeably unpleasant withdrawal from that use during the week.

I've been caught in this loop and tried using SR17 to get back to sobriety. I was on a low dose for 9 days with minimal wd symptoms from the MIT -- 30mg per day for 3 days, 20mg for 3 days, 10mg for 3 days and then jumped.

It is now 7 days later from taking any opiods or other drugs and I am still experiencing brutal RLS and muscle soreness from the SR17 that is still affecting my sleep. So for anyone who has a history of opiod use, expect that it's going to suck jumping off SR17 even if you taper. Liposomal vitamin C, agmatine, NAC, and ibuprofen are not going to take that edge off! These symptoms are absolutely worse than going cold turkey off my relatively low MIT dose.

For everyone else seeing people say that this drug is pleasant to come off, that is likely only true for new addicts. SR17 is not going to feel like a cake walk for people already in the game, that's for sure. Your body remembers and it always gets worse!
