Out of meds for the weekend, stressing out (hexbear.net)

Went to the pharmacy to pick up my meds yesterday, and they didn't have my anti-psychotic. This is my first major hurdle since being out of rehab, since drinking was the only way I coped with being without my anti-psychotic. What sucks is that this happened on memorial day weekend so I can't get this solved until Tuesday. Wish me luck y'all, it's gonna be a shitty weekend :/

But no matter how bad it gets, I'm not gonna drink about it

7-OH is a very powerful alkaloid of kratom that's present in small amounts in powder, but is now being sold in extracts and pills. I sing the praises of kratom pretty regularly, it's great from a harm reduction standpoint. I can't say much good about 7-OH as someone in recovery, it's about as addictive as real opiates, it's expensive, it isn't as good of medication as regular kratom, it's just a better high.

Thanks for the info. I've been taking Kratom long enough that I don't get a high at all. I just don't feel like drinking alcohol as much. No desire to try 7-OH either.

Yeah, avoid 7-OH like the plague. It's more addictive than some opiates I've kicked because of just how short lived it is and how steeply the tolerance increases. I'm not for the criminalization of drugs, but I hope it gets banned so that kratom doesn't if that makes sense. Kratom has been nothing but a help to me in my life. I try to avoid it nowadays because I haven't used any drugs in 66 days, but there are totally cases I'll bust out some kratom again. 7-OH has been nothing but a problem to me though, the only reason I'd grab it is if I want to give into my addict brain
