I want to do DXM tonight, but I did kratom a few days ago (quite a bit of it) but I heard somewhere that its an MAOI, and I know MAOIs+DXM=Bad.

Is Kratom an MAOI?

Kratom has quite a few active chemicals in it...but I am unaware of any of them being an MAOI. You are right about DXM + MAOI = bad though.
If in doubt, I wouldn't mix these two chemicals. Little is known about kratom in the grand scheme of things...

I know, but they say don't do DXM two weeks after taking an MAOI.

^ you are correct - please know what you're talking about if you're going to post, fireman.
No major alkaloids have been identified as MAO inhibitors and they've been studied sufficiently enough that if they produced any appreciable MAO inhibition, it'd be known by now. You shouldn't combine kratom with MAO inhibitors due to it's effect on monoamines however there's no evidence that kratom itself is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
I can't tell you for sure that the combination would be safe, but it wouldn't be dangerous for this reason.

Give it a day to clear out of your system - kratom is known to increase levels of norepinephrine and adrenaline - DXM prevents the reuptake of norepinephrine. End result is you risk a hypertensive crisis if you dose the two together.
