Kratom Kratom + alcohol?

[jasperkent]

What's the latest verdict?

I've been using kratom daily for a few years (originally to get off oxys/hydros).
I also drink a few beers every night. Nothing like I used to--- hard liquor 24/7 for decades, which was horrible.
When I Google it, I get a lot of Recovery Businesses trying to scare me and a few inconclusive studies.

I know I have liver damage from past abuses. Am I making it worse?

Anybody know what's up?

I wouldn't risk this combo if you know you already have a compromised liver. I don't know the latest studies on it but whenever I mix the two my hangovers are always much worse the next day

From what I've seen most of the kratom + alcohol liver damage reports seem to be rather severe, but acute in nature. It happens within just a few days of use, but is also uncommon.

I've used them daily for 10 years and never had any chronic issues. I don't really combine them, though. Kratom in the day, booze at night. I've had a couple of liver issues but I can blame that on other things, as I continued using kratom and alcohol and it didn't recur.

It's obviously not the best combination, but I'd say you're probably OK as long as you get your liver levels checked somewhat regularly.

I used to directly combine kratom + alcohol but that combo only has appeal if you have low kratom tolerance and get opioid effects. I don't do it anymore.

Yeah, that's me.

I don't know for sure I have liver damage, I just assume that I probably do after decades of extreme alcohol abuse.

Thanks for the replies. I feel somewhat reassured.

A recipe to puke hard if you don't watch the amounts I used to take way too much kratom and I still drink with it to this day that's another issue altogether I won't elaborate on here and hurl basically my eyeballing was too courageous and hefty probably great risk of liver harm if not used with heed. I think it isn't as risky as like taking ketamine while drinking that's gnarly sickening even with normal doses at least last time I did K with beer in my stomach it wasn't pretty anyways back to kratom I now am much more modest with how much I take at once I don't really get sick taking less than a full teaspoon per dose even while drinking heavy but there's got to be some toll that will be taken on the liver eventually if you regularly combine this over years perhaps much sooner if you have the rare thing or a deficient filter
