I've been taking Kratom for a week or so because I'm trying to cut back my use of stronger opioids, mostly dilaudid and morphine. I've been taking about 3g at a time for the past week. Today I had particularly bad cravings and I decided to take more than I did the past few days since I seemed to handle it fine, I took 6 grams which I had mixed into my ice tea to drink during class. After about an hour I started to get really strong feelings of unreality, brain fog and a feeling that my mind was empty and I wasn't real. I was unable to follow along with the lecture because my brain couldn't keep up with it. I've experienced this before, from tramadol and from benzo withdrawal, but I haven't had these feelings for months. I wasn't passing out or feeling excessively sedated either. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there an explanation for this effect (like, something about the pharmacology of the drug that could cause dissociative symptoms) or am I wrong in associating this episode with the Kratom? The feelings still haven't worn off, although I've calmed down a bit.
