If you’re reading this, you (or someone you love) is probably stuck on a “7-OH tablet”, a “gas station pill”, a kratom-derived synthetic, a leaf habit that got out of hand, or some combination of those. You’re trying to figure out how to stop. You’re scared, exhausted, or both.
You’re in the right place. Take a breath. Read what you need, ignore what you don’t, and come back to the rest when you’re ready.
If any of those words are new: kratom is a Southeast Asian plant whose leaves contain mu-opioid-active alkaloids. 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is one of those alkaloids, concentrated, isolated, and sold as tablets or “shots.” Those concentrated synthetics, 7-OH, pseudo, MGM-15, and the products built around them, are what this site is mostly about.
About this site
This site is a calm, organized reference for getting off 7-OH and related kratom synthetics, and the medical and self-care tools people in our community have used to do it. It’s for people quitting, people considering quitting, people in PAWS, and the family and friends trying to help them.
The content here was written by people who went through this. It was originally posted in our Discord server and has been cleaned up and organized here so that the most useful information is easy to find at any hour, on any device, without needing to scroll through chat history or have an account.
There are no ads, no sponsors, no products being sold, no analytics tracking you, and no monetization of any kind. This exists because the people who built it wanted the resource they wished they’d had.
Scope and disclaimers
- Not medical advice. Everything here is community-compiled information. It is a starting point for your own research and a conversation with a qualified clinician, not a substitute for one. When something here disagrees with a doctor who knows your situation, trust the doctor.
- Not a clinic or a treatment program. We don’t prescribe anything. We don’t run a detox. We can’t manage your taper for you.
- Not affiliated with any company, kratom vendor, or treatment facility. If a page mentions a telehealth provider, a supplement, or a specific medication, it’s because community members have used it, not because anyone is paying us to mention it.
- Not anti-kratom advocacy. The site is for people whose use went sideways. People who use kratom or 7-OH without dependence problems exist, and the site isn’t trying to argue with them. See Where the Site Stands for the full position on responsible use, bans, and regulation.
Where to go next
If you don’t yet know what kratom or 7-OH are, What the Hell Is 7-OH? is the 60-second elevator version, plain language, no jargon, no chemistry.
When you’re ready for the map, How to Use This Website routes you to the right page for your situation (in withdrawal, thinking about using, in PAWS, planning to quit, helping someone else, or just trying to understand what any of this is).
If you’re in active withdrawal right now and don’t want to read anything else: Withdrawal Help is the single most useful page for the next hour.

One more thing
This is hard. It’s harder than most people realize until they’re in it. The fact that you’re reading this, that you’re looking for information, that you’re trying to understand what’s happening to you, is already the hardest part of the hardest part. The rest is a sequence of small practical decisions. We can help with those.
