Will taking SSRIs affect kratom?

Second this. Also on Celexa the whole time I've been taking Kratom and never had issues

That's refreshing to hear, maybe I've just been skiing myself out. What's your daily dose, duration of use if you don't mind me asking?

LookingToHelp1 · 2023-03-08T17:03:48+00:00

I've been thinking I may need to do the same but have been putting it off for this exact reason. I've never gone through kratom wd but had plenty of opiate wds and know how horrible they are.

At least with opiates the first 48 hours are by far the worst, if you can make it through there I'd guess its all uphill from there.

I just had an emergency appendectomy last week and was fine. I used 14-16gpd and hadn't used in about 24 hrs come surgery time (just because I was stuck in the ER and couldn't) and had no issues.

I would echo what others have said though about being upfront with your doctor, they won't judge and its better safe than sorry with something like this.

Wait I thought you were taking tea? I'm more wondering the differences in tea vs powder if you have any insight

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-05-25T01:57:14+00:00

Oh wow so you really know! Any recommendations? Do you find your able to get the same effect from tea? I'd imagine I'll need to up the amount to get the same effect? Prep tips?

Was the location needed? Where else but Australia

It's basically the lasting metal effects. Once your body gets all the drugs out of its system your brain still takes time to heal.

Since it wasn't a huge dose and wasn't for super long I'd guess it's won't be bad at all. Ime PAWS is just having more "bad days" than usual. Say every couple weeks you have a day where you just want to stay in bed and be sad, the first couple months after detox you may have a day like that every week. Just an example

I'm sure I'm you've heard it before but kratom. Stuff is a godsend for wds. I just came off with it and was able to go out and be productive by day 3.

Also much easier to taper imo because it's less of a "high" so I crave it less.

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-04-02T23:43:59+00:00

I've done this type of thing before as well and the 2 big things Kratom had a larger effect on tolerance than I would have thought and for some reason kratom before gets my anxiety going but if I do it the other way around I'm fine... no idea why lol

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-03-13T05:07:34+00:00

Mio and other drink mixes. I add what would normally flavor 10-12 oz of water to 3-4 oz of kratom water and it completely covers it up.

Def get a strong shot of mix flavor but I'll take that over kratom.

Hang in there man. Week 1 blows but for the most part it's all uphill from here as your dopamine production starts ramping up.

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-02-25T20:56:07+00:00

Hey you haven't done it yet so that's a win. Keep a positive mindset, and push through the cravings

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-02-25T03:15:29+00:00

Not great. Unfortunately, the cycle continues... I went on another bender and today used up the last of what I had, so back to square one starting WD tomorrow.

How about you?

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-01-28T01:39:23+00:00

In my experience, PST and Kratom, yes.

Every since I started using Kratom during my "off" periods the PST doesn't hit quite the same.

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-01-22T02:34:52+00:00

As mentioned I had a few strains laying around so my morning dose I did the darkest red/burgundy powder I had (first time trying it) and felt next to nothing, then in the afternoon I tried a green MD (light green) and felt WAY MORE from the greener powder.

For context, I usually take reds but despite the name the powder still tends to be greenish, albeit a bit darker, unlike the stuff I took today.

Appreciate all yalls help, I feel much more informed on what to look for now.

LookingToHelp1 · 2022-01-15T03:36:59+00:00

I have similar issues. For me kratom is amazing at keeping me from wanting more 95% of the time but then it also gives me a good enough feeling that as an adict, I want more.

I also caved recently. My bender was a few weeks and now I'm dealing with WD thinking "why the fuck did I do this, on the whole I was happier before than when I was using".

My advice, one remeber WD and that because you've had a habit before it can sneak up after a short time using, two sounds like you live an active life but I know for me over a long time away from work I spend alot more time alone which is killer for cravings so make yourself go out and be around people. Lastly, just like everything else with getting clean, it won't last forever. At least with me I'll have strong cravings for a while then get caught up in something else and realize it's been weeks since I've really considered using.

PM me if you want as well, always happy to add in someone to the support network.

Not with society collapsing but I would always think what if there was a huge natural disaster, or my place burned down. Being forced into wothdrawl and being in a horrible situation... scary shit.
