OK, so I decided to conduct a little experiment to see just how much Suboxone would affect Kratom. The following are the results:
My physical profile - 5'11", 175 pounds.
My opiate experience (in order of how strong they affect me):
1. 2mg Kratom UEI - gives me a nice sedating euphoric buzz for 5 - 9 hours, complete w/ waking dreams sometimes.
2. Suboxone 1 - 1.5mg - same as Kratom UEI, but doesn't last as long, with less sedation.
3. Hydrocodone - 20mg gets me buzzin' pretty good for about 4 - 5 hours.
4. Tramadol 350mg - same as Hydrocodone, but less sedation, and lasts about 8 - 10 hours.
That's the extent of my opiate experience. I rarely use opiates more than 3 times a week, so my tolerance stays relatively low. I recently acquired some oxy 5s, but haven't tried em yet.
Today's experiment started with about 1.5mg Suboxone, at around 2:30pm. An hour later I was feeling only mildly buzzed.
Two hours later, at around 4:30pm I knocked back 2mg Kratom UEI. About 30 minutes later and I was rolling pretty hard. Could barely keep my eyes open, and had the pleasant "opiate itch" envelop my body. I spent a good hour laying flat on my back watching some crazy images on the backs of my eyelids, while still being able to hear everything else carry on around me. This lasted for the rest of the evening until around 10:30 when the high began to diminish significantly.
So, in answer to the question "does Suboxone affect Kratom," it might, but it certainly didn't for me today. Maybe I didn't take Suboxone in significant enough quantity to block the Kratom. Dunno....
Thoughts...?
