University of Florida professor Christopher McCurdy has accepted travel reimbursements, donations to his university’s foundation and funding for symposiums from the American Kratom Association. None of this is mentioned in the papers he publishes.

    Everyone I was with experienced normal effects, and the ER doctors said they believed it to be a negative reaction to kratom in the discharge paperwork.

    Note: I do take prescription medication

      You take pain medications? Taking kratom with that is like drinking with that. Respiratory depression.

      I’ve taken it before as well. A few times, actually. Never did anything except make me nauseous. That’s why I took it a few times… kept increasing the dose. Got nothing.

      My cousin barfed his brains out, though. That was at least fun to watch.

        Not pain medication. Strattera and Lexapro.

          Were you suffering from serotonin syndrome? That is a really dangerous thing, actually. My wife had it once and it wasn’t pretty. She got it from an SSRI and Ashwagandha.

          Kratom has a Moderate interaction with Escitalopram. Theoretically, taking kratom in combination with serotonergic drugs may increase levels of serotonin, increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome.

          https://hellopharmacist.com/drug-supplement-interactions/drug-herbal/kratom-with-atomoxetine

          Kratom has a Moderate interaction with Atomoxetine. Theoretically, kratom might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
