Why does everyone say that MGM holds them for so long? I’ve heard upwards of 24hrs. I have WD 7-8hrs after my last dose. Usually my last dose is at 9-10pm before bed. I wake up 3-4am feeling like crap sweating profusely, watery eyes, and the hyper sneezing begins. I really have to try hard to make it 6hrs between doses during the day to avoid WDs..

This is true even before I started my taper on July 4th. Most mornings I would be sick before I would dose. Obviously it’s more pronounced since I started to taper from 400mg to 180-200mg. Granted this first drop hasn’t been hard. Just minor discomfort but the early mornings are hardest. I am almost running to the cabinet to dose for relief.

Well, this is my first week actually monitoring my dosage and attempting to tapering down. Never really paid any attention to how much i would take daily, I would just order more when I was low. 300-400mg+ per diem is my best guess. Yesterday was 200, today’s goal is 160mg. I’m just slowly pulling it back until I decide on a direction to go. 1. Either preload and jump off with SR or 2. Admit myself into a detox and face the fire. Either way I’m lowering my daily intake with only minor discomfort so far. I can sleep 6hrs or so but I wake up sweating and have some hot and cold flashes throughout the night. Nightmares are prevalent my demons come out to play at night.

Maybe I will introduce some SR here soon to start preloading and ‘fill the gap’ but overall it’s been pretty painless. I’ve been able to stretch out my doses to every 5-6hrs instead of just eating them like candy whenever I want. To be honest, I’ve only ran low a few times and I’ve never tried to stop or lower my intake. I thought MGM was much better than 7Oh. It lasts longer and I don’t have the compulsion to re dose every hour. Appetite is decent.

I know this is only the beginning (the easy part) but so far MGM seems to be pretty forgiving in this aspect. Hope to hit today’s goal of 160 and get some rest tonight. I have work tomorrow.

Hey I’m looking for some advise, guidance, and direction. I can’t continue living life like this. My daily intake of MGM-15 is out of control. Daily intake 300-400+mg. I’m considering any and or all options to put an end to this insanity.

This all came to a head yesterday. I made a phone call to a friend that owns a local detox. This needs to end. Thankfully, I have good insurance and the co-pay will be waved.

Speaking with him briefly, he did mention that yes they use SUBs for these detoxes along with other comfort meds (one in particular I can’t remember).

1. Do SUBs work for MGM? (I’m working on tapering down before I go to hopefully 100mg daily)

2. Is SR17018 a better option? I really would rather check myself in somewhere to get this done professionally. Rather than try some experimental chemicals.

I have had a life long struggle with opiates. I left that life behind me in 2010 when I came off 160mg of Methadone. I can’t believe I’m back here again. I’ve been taking MGM since November of 2025. It seemed more manageable than 7OH. (Easier to taper with)

Anyway, I want to be able to ask the medical team at the detox questions before I just jump into their care.

I have a wonderful life. I want to continue living it free from the chains of MGM or any chemicals. I know I have a long road ahead of me. I wish I was just coming off OXY or H. That’s simple. This MGM seems more complex.

Can anyone in this community help? Please advise thanks
