Harm Reduction & Safety Tips
Your safety comes first. These guidelines help minimize risks while using SR-17018.
🛡️ Essential Safety Rules
- Allergy test first - Start with less than 5mg to check for allergic reactions
- Start low, go slow - Begin with very small doses and titrate up slowly
- Test your substance - Always use reagent testing when possible
- Never mix - Avoid combining with other substances
- Have naloxone - Keep overdose reversal medication nearby
- Tell someone - Let a trusted person know your plans
- Keep records - Log all doses, times, and effects
🚨 CRITICAL: Allergy Testing Protocol
Before starting any SR-17018 protocol, conduct an allergy test:
- Dose: Less than 5mg
- Monitor for: Skin rashes, hives, itching, swelling (especially face, lips, tongue), difficulty breathing, wheezing
- If any allergic symptoms occur: Discontinue immediately and seek medical attention
This step cannot be skipped - allergic reactions can be life-threatening.
⚠️ Overdose Risk After Tolerance Reduction
CRITICAL WARNING: SR-17018 reduces opioid tolerance. If you return to opioid use after completing an SR-17018 taper:
- Your tolerance may be significantly reduced
- What you previously used may now be a potentially fatal dose
- Exercise extreme caution if resuming opioid use
📊 Dosing Guidelines
| Opioid Type | Starting Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weaker opioids (kratom, codeine) | 20-50mg | Every 8-12 hours | May need higher doses initially |
| Moderate opioids (oxycodone, hydrocodone) | 50-100mg | Every 8 hours | Most common range |
| Strong opioids (fentanyl, zenes) | 100-150mg | Every 6-8 hours | May need more frequent dosing |
🔬 Route of Administration
Oral Administration Only
SR-17018 is only orally active due to its insolubility in water and propylene glycol.
📈 Withdrawal Symptom Monitoring
When transitioning to SR-17018, monitor and log these withdrawal symptoms using a 1-10 scale:
- Physical symptoms: Hot/cold flushes, sweating, goosebumps, tremors
- Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite
- Psychological: Anxiety, irritability, cravings for opioids
- Other: Watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, yawning, disturbed sleep
- Pain: Joint, bone, muscle pain, abdominal pain, headaches
💡 Withdrawal Severity Scale
Use this scale to monitor your symptoms:
- 1-3: Mild discomfort, manageable
- 4-6: Moderate symptoms, may need dose adjustment
- 7-8: Severe symptoms, consider increasing dose
- 9-10: Intolerable symptoms, seek medical help if needed
⚠️ Risk Factors
- Respiratory depression (rare but possible)
- Dependence with regular use
- Unknown long-term effects
- Legal risks in some jurisdictions
💡 Harm Reduction Philosophy
We believe in meeting people where they are. Complete abstinence isn't always possible or desired. Our goal is to provide information that helps people make safer choices.
⚠️ Medical Emergency
If you experience severe symptoms (difficulty breathing, extreme drowsiness, unresponsiveness), call emergency services immediately. This could be a medical emergency.

🚨 Medical Emergency Information
Signs of Opioid Overdose:
- Slow, shallow, or absent breathing
- Blue lips or fingernails
- Gurgling sounds
- Unresponsiveness
- Cold, clammy skin
Emergency Response:
- Call emergency services immediately
- Administer naloxone if available
- If breathing stops: Basic rescue breathing can save lives - Plug their nose, breathe into their mouth, and repeat. Formal CPR training is ideal, but in an emergency, any attempt is better than none.
- Stay with the person until help arrives
🛡️ Advanced Harm Reduction Principles
Start Low, Go Slow
Healthcare professionals recommend starting with low doses and close monitoring to mitigate opioid respiratory depression risks [8]. This principle is crucial with any novel substance.
Never Use Alone
Having someone present who can respond to an emergency and administer naloxone is a fundamental harm reduction practice.
Test Strips and Adulteration
Research chemicals often have unpredictable purity and may contain adulterants. The actual composition of substances sold as "SR-17018" cannot be guaranteed.
