How Long After Taking Kratom Can You Take Suboxone (Top voted first)

Hi I have been on suboxone for four weeks, before that I was on methadone for five years. I decided to try kratom to stop the suboxone but it isn't really doing much and I feel really lethargic and headaches. I took about 4-5gram of kratom at 8am, it's now 1:40pm"..I want to take some suboxone, will I get sick? Precipitated withdrawals? I've seen some people say they take suboxone after kratom and are fine, but, there isn't much out there on the topic. I just don't wanna get sick for I have a three ur old boy and Christmas is in two days

From personal experience, like today and yesterday, I have found that taking suboxone after ingesting kratom did not have any ill effects. My friend has been taking kratom continuously for about 2 weeks and had taken some yesterday during the day. My friend got to my place at about 9pm last night and had 8mg of suboxone over a two- three hour period throughout the night. They actually ended up taking more suboxone than he/she usually does, whereas I am on suboxone 20mg, full time for 4 months so far. My last dose of subs was on Wednesday, and so Saturday is when I chose to take kratom, when I was starting to feel withdrawals from the subs. I took a lot (50g) of kratom over a 2-3 hour period (red Bali), which was such a nice treat to be able to feel. (Been an opiate addict for 10 years and am 4 months clean on suboxone with no slip ups) so this kratom was a super nice treat. Anyway my last dose of kratom was this morning at about 12:30pm (morning for me) like maybe 5g (just the leftovers in the bags from last night) and I took an Ativan. Slept all day... got up and took my 20mg of suboxone around 7:30 and I feel fine. I feel great actually. (It’s been an hour since I took the subs) And I asked my friend, who said they had taken kratom maybe 2-3 hours before they dosed the subs, and did not experience any withdrawals; though they did need to take more subs than usual to get a proper effect. So yeah, first-hand review from 2 people in slightly different circumstances but very different tolerance levels...yet still associated with the question asked. I hope this info helps. Curious to know how it goes for you. You should be fine.

I take kratom with suboxone and I just started suboxone... Just to try it n see if helpful but I like kratom more for opiate detox I've been doing really good just get the kratom dose right and you'll be golden pony boy! Ps- if u haven't tried the 8mL kratom extract you should, way better than any other form except the tea. May the Creator Bless you and ST. Michael Protect you in your Battle.

Hey, twodogs...
Just wondering how it's going with taking the Kristi and Suboxone. I am considering trying Kratom for the first time. I also am on 4mg of Suboxone a day. I do not want to get sick of U mix the two of them. So, just wanted Ted to check in with you and how your experience has been since March? Any advice would be so appreciated.

Suboxone kicks the opiate off of your mu receptors. Kratom does not bind with my receptors. I have been running out of subs early every month. Normally a week early. I tried Kratom for the first time 3 months ago. It is more of a phsycological fix kinda like a placebo. It helps withdrawal symptoms in the morning with the first dose and it will help your apitite and sleep and chills but at night it seems not to help so much. It's l8le the first high of the day. You can really feel the first high of the day but the rest aren't as good. You won't go through precipitated withdrawal using kratom and subs together. I have been using them together for months now.The energy boost from the Kratom works nice with the subs. The only way you can get precipitated withdrawal using subs is you have to be addicted to a substance to the point that you suffer without them. If you don't suffer withdrawal during periods of abstinence you can't get precipitated withdrawal. Being said. If you aren't addicted to kratom how can you withdrawal from it. Understand?

Too risky for what
You said switching from kratom to sub would be too risky and cannabis is better. What did you mean it's too risky. What is

Naloxone is an opioid blocker but is ONLY activated by IV administration. It is not absorbed (or activated) when taken orally. It was added in the US to prevent IV use of Suboxone.

Re: Kratomsucks (# 29)

Update! An hour after I took the sub I felt great. I wil be back on subs and stay off Kratom. I have an appointment tomorrow to get my script back. I hate Kratom. I felt like an addict again. I had to take so much trying to chase the feeling suboxone gave me. And no I don’t want to be high. I want to be a functioning member of society. I take one sub in the morning. And I go about my day never having cravings for anything else. I had to take so much Kratom and it didn’t do anything but give me a headache. If you want to get clean Kratom is not the way to go. I was spending so much money in one week for the price of going to the dr once a month to get subs.

4sure! I'm gonna try it myself tonight/tomorrow so I will be able to answer. Will do my last H in a bit then dose on kratom after about 10-12 hours then the sub 6-8 hours after that. Hopefully I don't go into PW or some crazy stuff. I will be able to answer based on my experience.

Re: Emily (# 1)

Also, confirm it's safe. My rule of thumb is if I dont feel the "kratom" buzz or something resembling that, then my assumption is that the sub "out-bonded" (one can say) the kratom. Or my stuff is bunk...unlikely.

Re: Emily (# 1)

In my experience, I have been taking 45 grams a day for six months. I just recently got a suboxone script andI researched far and wide for the answer. I took about 28 grams today at 4:30pm. I finally gave in and took a whole strip at 11:20 pm. I didn't receive and pws but I felt something strange in my chest similar to congestion. Lasted 20 minutes. Conclusion is that you are able to take the suboxone with no adverse effects. I actually feel great and it's working phenomenal

I have been on suboxone for over a year I mix kratom within minutes of taking my suboxone and am perfectly fine. But I guess maybe it is different for everyone

Hi I was wondering if you took kratom while on suboxone again or if you had any info? I’m on subs but am thinking of trying kratom and I’m scared to get sick

Re: BluntTruth (# 11)

you are so wrong. naloxone is literally only there to keep people from shooting it. bupenorphine itself causes precipitated withdrawals and covers the receptors to keep one from getting high

Hello Emily, hope your ok. Not real educated on kratom, but just to state a fact it has opiate properties. I've read that it takes 4 to 6 hours for the effects to wear off, so just to be safe I would at least wait the 6 to 6 and a half hours before I'd try it. Nobody wants a case of the precipitated withdrawals. It would be nice to have some actual clinical trials on kratom. I've heard it's a very versatile substance. God bless and good luck.

Re: BluntTruth (# 11)

SO WRONG! DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR GET MORE EXPERIENCED..... THE BUPE IS THE BLOCKER! THE NALOXONE OS TOTALLY OBSOLETE WHEN TAKEN CORRECTLY! SUBUTEX WILL CAUSE PWD JUST AS WELL AS SUBOXONE! FACT! BEEN LIVING IT! OP, MY ADVICE IS DO NOT TAKE ANY SUB TILL YOUR RECEPTORS ARE COMPLETELY EMPTY AND YOU ARE IN WITHDRAWAL! IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MONEY FAR AS THE NALOXONE IS COCERNED.... JUST LOOK UP THE PRICE OF IT!

I was on suboxone for a year. Stopped 3 weeks ago. Started taking Kratom the day I was out of suboxone. Have been taking around 30g a day for 3 weeks. I hate Kratom. I feel like an addict again having to take it throughout the day and to be honest. It sucks. I took 1mg suboxone at 4:19 today after have by 8g of Kratom at 12pm. It’s been a little over 30min and no pwds. I don’t think I will get them if it hasn’t started yet
