Do you know anything about psych meds, dopamine, and kratom?

I've been using kratom on and off for about three years, this is my third and final time kicking. The second time I kicked, I noticed my stimulant medication which I take for a sleep disorder stopped working. It wasn't until a week after kicking that my meds started to work again. 

Yesterday was my first 24 hours without kratom, my stims were working ok, until I got my hands on xanax. I took about six pills throughout the day. 

I woke up this morning and my stimulants are barely taking the fog out of my eyes, where on a normal drug free day I'd be great. 

Should I stay away from any psychotropic meds until the kratom is completely out of my brain for a few weeks? I don't want to fuck up my meds. 

My first problem with stims not working is when I was taking abilify, which will block stimulants to an extent for years, then bam, abilify makes stims stop working all out. So I stopped. The only rx meds I'm on now is Vyv 2x daily and xnx prn. 

I even noticed that dopamine replenishing supplements will keep my stims from working. 

Any advice for this noob? It's so hard to function without my stims. I def. don't think I have a tolerance, I think substances are inhibiting the stims function. I'm def. staying away from anything psychoactive for a bit and then I'll experiment a little once my neurotransmitters are at a decent function. 

Anyway to speed this along holistically without resorting to anything that messes with my brain chemicals? 

Thanks so much!!! 

I look forward to being off kratom, it's expensive and I would rather buy expensive makeup. The worst part is that I do get depressed a week after the acute withdrawal and makes me want to start again.

This is an old topic and I'm sad nobody answered it as I am curious myself. 

My ADHD medication also seems to have crapped out since I started doing kratom. I also take a benzo in addition to addies and neither one feels the same as it did pre kratom. I think it definitely hijacks all the dopamine and lowers the effectiveness of other meds. 

Also, I hope you were able to quit successfully! I got a weak batch this week and it a) has made mg meds work better and b. ) has made me realize that I don't wanna do it anymore. I agree, buying makeup is waaaaay better 

 
All I can say is that there are 30 some active alkaloids in kratom, meaning it does a whole bunch of things some of which you might not want. I've found it can be very hit or miss mixing kratom with other meds and it's probably best to avoid mixing it. I try to keep it to get through days when I'm not using different stuff. It does wk ok with trams, which is my main problem, but I've seen problems with other meds including mod@finil which is a stimulant that affect domamine levels (one of the cases of someone ODing from kratom was a person who mixed it with mod@finil).

 
What does Kratom do? I seen this in a smoke shop the other day. The guy didn't have much info on it except that it can help pain a little and it was all natural.

We have much info on it here, but a quick Web search will give you a fair amount of info. Different strains give different effects.

 
kratom has been a life saver for me and I will do xanz and brazillian marching powder and I have not noticed any effects on my dopamine or anything else as far as the way I feel there is not much info out there on people mixing it make try ewroid

  1. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  2. P @ psychedpsych: Whew, long night of giving rides. How's y'all's night go? Im debating driving for 2 more rides to hit my goal, should I keep going?
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
