Withdrawal Quickstart · quitting7oh.org

Use this page to get set up. It collects the links and supplies that readers reach for most. The linked guides carry the dosing details, evidence limits, and safety notes.

Start with vitamin C

If your quit is planned, start the liposomal vitamin C preload before your last 7-OH dose. If withdrawal has started, skip the preload and begin with the acute schedule. Read the full vitamin C guide before using high doses.

Exact liposomal vitamin C schedule

Before the quit: Days 1 to 2: 2 grams per day. Days 3 to 4: 4 to 6 grams per day.
Active withdrawal: 1 to 2 grams every 2 to 3 waking hours, for a total of 6 to 12 grams per day.
After symptoms ease: Step down to 1 to 3 grams per day, around days 5 to 7 for many readers.

Talk with a clinician first if you have kidney stones, kidney disease, iron overload, G6PD deficiency, or upcoming lab work.

Buprenorphine

QuickMD offers same-day online appointments in many states and lists treatment for 7-OH and kratom dependence. A licensed clinician decides whether buprenorphine is appropriate. Read the 7-OH Suboxone guide before the visit.

Stopping alcohol or benzodiazepines too? Those withdrawals can cause seizures and need medical guidance. Use SAMHSA treatment help or medical care instead of this checklist alone.
