Help with protocol
Hi. I would like some assistance with how to go about my quit of 7oh. I’ve been using this drug as a means of feeling some kind of normalcy/self-medicating, but it got way out of hand.
I’ve been taking 7oh for the better part of 4 months (in the past I had also taken it for a few months, was able to quit for a month by using SR pretty painlessly since I was on a dose of like 80mg daily, and then like an idiot hopped back on bc of PAWS). It’s gotten pretty out of hand the last month due to some … personal life circumstances, and I need to get off this dogshit asap. Now, the issue (yes feel free to call me reckless/stupid, that’s fine with me), is that I’ve also been taking SR for around 4 weeks for the sake of tapering/making it easier to get a full nights rest and not having to wake up during the night to dose. My maximum daily dosage of 7 peaked at around 1500-2000mg (idk the actual dosage, smoke shop pills are obviously pretty heavily underdosed), and I was able to make it down to about 300mg daily with minimal withdrawals. Unfortunately I lapsed and did a lot more the last few days as I had some personal/family events I needed to attend to, so I took much more than I needed and I feel as though my progress was lost (probably in the realm of 700mg or so daily).
I’m now trying to figure out what I should do. I can survive the day by taking 300mg and SR, but SR only is tough. I feel as though my body is used to SR now so it’s not having as much of an effect. Would it make sense to drop the SR for a week and dose 7 only, and then reintroduce SR and drop the 7 entirely? I feel as though 300mg of 7 SR should be able to take care of once I’ve had a bit of a tolerance break from it. Or do I stay on the SR, keep slowly reducing my 7 usage until it hits a dosage which I’m comfortable fully dropping, and then slowly taper the SR?
I’ve also got Wellbutrin which I’m going to start taking sometime soon, and idk whether the prudent thing to do is to wait until I’m past the ‘acute stage’ of what would be 7 withdrawals and introduce it once I’m on SR only and PAWS is the main concern, or to introduce it earlier to be able to get through the acute stage of withdrawals more comfortably.
TLDR; still on a high(ish) dose of 7oh, been taking SR for like a month, 300mg of 7oh is the floor of what I’m comfy with, do I pause the SR whilst staying at this dose of 7 and then reintroduce the SR and quit the 7, or so I just do an even longer taper than I already have of 7 with SR but run the risk of being on SR for too long. I also have Wellbutrin and idk at which stage of withdrawals to utilise it.
If somebody who’s knowledgeable could shoot me a DM to help me out, I’d really appreciate it. I need to get away from this horrible drug asap — I really cannot take this anymore.
