Understanding 7-hydroxymitragynine withdrawal and safe, evidence-based treatment in Kansas.

If you’ve been using concentrated kratom extracts containing 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and are finding it difficult or impossible to stop, you’re not alone. Many people in Wichita, Sedgwick County, and surrounding areas face the same challenge. At Harmony Medical Clinic, our team has extensive experience helping patients safely manage withdrawal while addressing the physical and emotional symptoms that can make stopping 7-OH so difficult.

What Is 7-OH and Why Withdrawal Can Be Challenging

7-hydroxymitragynine is a highly potent compound found in some kratom products. While some people initially use kratom for mood support or pain relief, concentrated forms of 7-OH can quickly lead to dependence. Withdrawal from 7-OH can affect multiple systems in the body, including:

  • Sleep disruption — insomnia or restless sleep

  • Abdominal cramping — upset stomach/diarrhea

  • Nausea — possible vomiting

  • Runny nose and watery eyes

  • Mood and anxiety symptoms — irritability, restlessness, or low mood

These symptoms often make it extremely difficult for someone to stop using 7-OH on their own.


Why Supportive Medications Alone Are Often Not Enough

Some approaches, such as using only supportive medications (like anti-nausea or sleep aids) or very low-dose Suboxone, may seem appealing. However, in our experience at Harmony Medical Clinic, these methods are usually ineffective for controlling withdrawal from concentrated 7-OH products.


Because of the way 7-OH interacts with the opioid receptors in the body, most patients require buprenorphine to safely stabilize withdrawal symptoms. For some patients, additional medications may also be necessary to manage specific symptoms like insomnia, stomach, or anxiety.


Local Concerns: Kansas Laws and Availability

Many of our patients have expressed concern about a potential state-level ban on kratom products. This adds another layer of stress for individuals trying to stop or taper their use. Our team stays informed about local regulations and works closely with patients to navigate these changes safely, ensuring that withdrawal management and access to care are not disrupted.
