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.
What this site is
This site is a calm, organized reference for getting off 7-OH and related kratom synthetics — including pseudo, MGM-15, MIT-A/DHM, and the stacked products built around them — and the medical and self-care tools people in our community have used to do it.
The content here was written by people who actually 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.
What this site is not
- 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.
Where to start
Different situations need different starting points. Pick whichever matches yours:
🆘 You’re in active withdrawal right now
Go to #what-to-expect for an overview
of the timeline, then #helper-meds-info
for the practical “what helps” guide. If you have a few minutes for the
Discord, the live #sos channel there
is staffed by people who have been where you are.
💊 You’re thinking about Suboxone (MAT)
Start with #suboxone-info for the overview. Most people in this community use a short, structured taper rather than indefinite maintenance, and the induction protocols here reflect that. See #suboxone-cows for timing your first dose and #quickmd-info if you need a telehealth prescriber.
🌱 You’re already through the worst, but something still isn’t right
That’s almost always PAWS — post-acute withdrawal syndrome. Read #what-is-paws for the shape of it and #sleep-recovery if sleep is the part that hasn’t come back.
🧪 You want to understand what you’ve been on
The Compounds section has overviews of 7-OH, MGM-15, pseudo, MIT-A/DHM, cat’s claw, and how each one differs from raw kratom leaf. The compound matters — the timeline and the best approach are genuinely different across them.
🫂 Your loved one is in this, and you don’t know what to do
Start with #for-loved-ones. It was written by people who have been on both sides of this.
🔬 You’re a researcher or clinician trying to understand what these compounds actually are
The Compounds and MAT / Suboxone sections cite primary sources and pharmacology where available. We’ve done our best to flag what’s established vs. what’s community-observed. We welcome corrections via GitHub.

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.
🩺 Reminder: This is community information, not medical advice. Decisions about medication, induction, tapering, and treatment should happen with a qualified clinician who knows your specific situation. Nothing on this site changes that.
