You can quit. Here's the map.
Kratom, 7-OH tablets, and MGM-15 all work on the same opioid receptors — which means dependence is real, withdrawal is real, and so is getting free of it. This site is a practical, judgment-free guide: what to expect, how to taper, what helps with symptoms, and when to bring in a doctor.

Set your quit date (or taper-jump date) and this counter will be waiting every time you come back. It's stored only on your device — nothing is sent anywhere.
Pick your starting point
Kratom (leaf & extract)
Powder, capsules, teas, and extract shots. Dependence sneaks up because it's sold as an herbal supplement — but daily use builds real physical tolerance.
How to quit kratom →7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine)
Concentrated tablets sold in smoke shops and gas stations. Far more potent than leaf kratom — many users describe withdrawal closer to prescription opioids.
How to quit 7-OH →MGM-15
A newer semi-synthetic mitragynine analog that appeared on shelves as 7-OH came under FDA scrutiny. Potent, poorly studied, and habit-forming fast.
How to quit MGM-15 →The short version
- Know your baseline. Write down exactly how much you use per day, and how often. You can't taper what you haven't measured.
- Choose taper or cold turkey. For most daily users, a slow taper is far more survivable — see the tapering guide. Heavy 7-OH and MGM-15 users should strongly consider medical support.
- Prepare your toolkit before day one. Sleep aids, magnesium, electrolytes, easy food, time off if you can get it. The supplement guide covers what actually helps with which symptom.
- Expect the timeline. Acute withdrawal usually peaks around days 2–4 and fades over 1–2 weeks; low mood and poor sleep can linger longer. Knowing this is coming makes it endurable. See the withdrawal timeline.
- Don't do it alone. Communities like r/quittingkratom, a trusted friend, or a doctor who can prescribe comfort meds all dramatically raise your odds. See getting help.

Get prepped →When to involve a doctor: if you're using high doses of 7-OH or MGM-15 daily, have failed multiple quit attempts, are pregnant, or have heart, seizure, or serious mental health conditions — talk to a medical provider first. Medications like buprenorphine, clonidine, and lofexidine exist precisely for opioid-type withdrawal, and there is zero shame in using them.
