Kratom With Contrave
UpdatedSo, I found out the hard way this past weekend, that Kratom and Contrave shouldn't be taken together. I've repeatedly told my Dr and his NP that I use Kratom for pain management after coming off prescribed opiates for years for a bulging disc in my lower back. I've been taking kratom regularly for 2yrs. When Dr asked if I was on Opiates when prescribing the Contrave Friday, my response was, "no. I've been off Norcos for almost 3yrs and use Kratom for my pain management." He had no issue prescribing me the meds. I started taking them Friday and started going in to full opiate-like withdrawals before the evening was over. I didn't know what was happening until I took my meds Saturday then drank my normal kratom dose a few hours later, again felt like I was dying and almost had to go to the hospital. At this point the weight loss the Dr anticipated from me taking the meds is not going to trump my pain relief from the kratom... how long will it take for the contrave to leave my system, so I can safely start kratom, without the withdrawal symptoms???
