Putting out a warning of sorts here. 7-OH tablets are everywhere nowadays, they're great for pain relief, they're totally unregulated for whatever reason...
...and if you take 'em for a little bit, they totally fuck you up when you stop taking them, or slow the dose, whatever the case may be. I was out of commission for most of the past 3 weeks, barely able to show up for work twice a week and game a bit, but not much else, due to these spawns of Satan. I'm still figuring out how to get the hell off of them so I can get back to my normal routine. Luckily I only have short-term use to kick, been reading online about people being on them for multiple years and having to go on Suboxone and shit. I've been on plenty of potent prescription drugs in the past and never had this much trouble kicking any of them. This is more like what I imagine kicking street drugs would be like. Maybe I've gotten hit in the head too many times but these pills seemed like a pretty benign thing to try out for a little while, made me feel good, yada yada.
7-OH tablets, being "kratom", are very different from regular kratom powder in capsules and I'm not sure if people realize that. Powders/capsules are generally sold in grams, while 7-OH is sold in milligrams (and yet is vastly more potent and addictive). One can get addicted to either, sure, but I think it takes a lot longer with comparatively weak kratom leaf capsules. Those also help people kick heroin addictions and whatnot so I'm not in favor of the various congressional attempts to ban the stuff. However, 7-OH probably needs to be regulated because I can't imagine how many teenagers are gonna ruin their lives with the stuff. The doses I was taking were minor (like a quarter of a pill) and kids popping whole tablets are gonna completely fuck up their lives.
That dude AwakenWithJP on Youtube was on Feel Good shots for a while, which are made from similar stuff, and he had a really bad time getting off of 'em too. I guess we could just keep taking these things and become full-on addicts, but after a while you're spending hundreds of dollars a week on them and your hair is falling out of your head. Which, being 40, it's great I've held onto my hair this long, don't need a drug taking it away. And no, just maintaining a consistent dose doesn't work, you need to keep increasing it because of how fast it builds a tolerance. Soon as I realized how habit forming they actually were, and couldn't stop taking them (or sleep without them), I started trying to stop, but it was too late.
So just a warning to bros and non-bros alike, even "benign herbal supplements" that help your mood can be fucking disasters. I suspect these companies are probably adding things to them to make them habit forming / excruciating to come off of, as well. They make way, way more money if someone is fully dependent and taking four tablets a day, rather than taking fragments recreationally every couple days.
To re-iterate, I'm talking about 7-OH, not standard kratom leaf powder which I've had in the past and it was fine. Big difference. 7-OH are tablets and they're usually marketed in bright colorful packaging that jumps out at kids. So watch out for them getting into this stuff too.
Feel free to post things you've had bad experiences with that people should avoid, or just mock me for having back injuries and taking things to relax and having it backfire. Whatever. Just sharing a cautionary tale so somebody can learn from my fuck-up. It's never harmless.
