Welp, this time last week I was on this Reddit searching for anyway to mask the AWD symptoms, not being able to sleep, and just in an overall shit mood. Woke up this morning after my first full night asleep in a WEEK and I feel SPECTACULAR! I think I finally got through this, I’m hoping I don’t go into PWD but I was taking a pretty low dosage and I quit cold turkey so I’m pretty confident I won’t. Not gonna sugar coat is, this has been one of the hardest weeks of my life, but everyday I just kept pushing, even tried a trick of getting mad at my brain and saying to myself “I control you bitch, lock in and get better” 😂 Anyways, this is probably going to be my last post for awhile until I hit another major milestone, to anyone else out there reading this. MAKE THE DECISION, quit this gas station H, it destroyed my life, my money, and partially my relationships but we are on the UP AND UP NOW!

As I’m involved in this sub-Reddit right now my Reddit algorithm has tried introducing me to the complete opposite of this Reddit, a 7OH fan club Reddit. Seeing people defend this stuff like their life depends on it is really sad and disheartening, because while they might not be at their breaking point just yet, we all know that addiction takes over.

What really aggravates me is the people saying how banning 7OH is ruining peoples lives, that it’s “unconstitutional” and that the government is ruining them. While this has happened before, for once the Government is actually doing the right thing. This shit ruins people’s lives and drives them into financial ruin, deep depression, and just a complete different zombified version of who you once were.

I know a lot of people aren’t ready to quit, but seeing them make fun of people in this sub-Reddit on their own pages screenshotting things from here making us look like losers, like we are overreacting about how bad it is, when in all reality this will be them in a few months.

Hello my new favorite Reddit community, it’s your fellow addict Matt here back with another update. As of right now it is currently 1:48 AM! Used to average going to bed around 11:00 PM but obviously insomnia is a bi**h and I’m probably going to be up all night again for the 6th day in a row! 🥳 All jokes aside I am now on day 6 and this insomnia stuff is really starting to get to me. Any tips? I am currently on a high dosage of Trazadone and that doesn’t seem to be doing anything, and I’ve been EXTREMELY active, biked 8 miles today and went on two walks. Besides sleeping meds and exercise what else can I do? Anyways, peace out ✌️

Howdy everyone, as I am typing this I am now sober for 5 days and 19 hours. All acute WD symptoms are gone, only thing that blows is my mental health and sleep. Finally got a tiny bit of sleep last night! Maybe 4-5 hours and I dreamed. For context I haven’t dreamed in MONTHS due to daily use of this shit. Well last night I got my dreams back! And of course it’s about me relapsing and my brain is working overtime to even advertise this drug to me in my sleep 😂, honestly insane to me. Dreamed that I took a pill and felt like I was on Cloud9, and then it was all blissful. Well basically I woke up and told my brain to go f**k itself but I had a rough start to the day. Anyone else experience your dreams trying to get you back on?

Hey guys! In about 24 minutes from this post I will be on day 5 cold turkey! Most if not all of the acute WD symptoms have subsided, however the insomnia is driving me a little crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I am NEVER going back and I have the mental willpower to not let insomnia tip me over the edge, but I gotta ask, when does it get better? This will now be my fifth night without 7OH and I still haven’t slept more then 2-4 hours each night, constantly waking up and having a hard time falling asleep. I am on Trazadone and a pretty heavy dosage and for whatever reason that doesn’t even work. Kinda feeling hopeless, what can I do to shake this insomnia a little faster, and will my body eventually have enough without sleep and just crash? Any advice will help!

Hello guys, my name is Matt and as of 4 days and 12 hours ago I have been clean cold turkey from 7OH, upwards of 100mg a day. Days 1-3 were absolute hell on earth, insomnia, restless legs, having to use the restroom every 20 minutes, migraines, and body shakes. Pure hell, and I’ve quit both THC and Nicotine before, and those WD symptoms are like a walk in the park compared to these. However it is day 4 and I think my acute withdrawal symptoms are gone! I feel normal today physically, however mentally I am still struggling really bad with anxiety and depression. Anyone know when things will start to smoothen out? Started 7OH in October of 2025, friends told me it was good for my chronic back pain. I started off only weekends and then as of February I became a daily user of up to 100 MG. So about 3 months of everyday usage.

Hey guys, my names Matt and I am a Junior in College. I got introduced to 7OH this past fall by a good friend of mine (realizing now that a good friend wouldn’t have even tried getting me to even try it) I am very skeptical about taking pills, and I will never take something that I don’t know what it is. However he was able to convince me as it was sold at a smoke shop and perfectly legal, so I didn’t think much of it! First time taking it I had never felt such a head high in my life, I also threw up 3 times. Fast forward a few months and I’m taking around 100/200 MG every weekend, I genuinely don’t know how I was able to get through the week without any CT symptoms but I guess the thought of me going back to it every weekend was enough to keep me straight. Then came winter break, which is honestly pretty long in College, I was home for a month and a half and went full cold turkey, however I also didn’t even really have bad WD symptoms then. When I get back in the middle of January for the next semester I quickly got back into it, resuming my weekend habits. However things changed about 1-2 months ago. I went from 100/200 MG on the weekends to taking it every single day of the week, spending so much money in the process. Then the inevitable happened, I stumbled across this SubReddit this past Saturday and saw people saying the withdrawals are worse then heroin, that you have to get on another drug just to kick it, that’s when reality set in. I took my last dose this previous Saturday around midnight, and I have been cold turkey ever since. Holy shit this SUCKS, my brain is running a million miles per hour all the time, I can sleep no more then 2 inconsistent hours a night, I have to use the restroom every 30 minutes just to not throw up, and I have absolutely ZERO energy to do anything. It’s now 4 days in Cold Turkey and I just don’t know if I can do it anymore, I see people saying it takes a month to kick and I don’t think I can do a month of this. So far I’m saying strong but man, do I wish I never started this bullshit.
