Kratom and Suboxone for Heroin withdrawal??

[Njblondie]

First time posting...I?m planning to start detoxing myself tomorrow. I have subs and have used them recently but the withdrawal symptoms have still been awful and I?m trying to function enough to work! I?ve heard amazing things about kratom and I have taken it in the past, but a few years ago. I bought the liquid OPMS kratom.

Can I use both at the same time? If I do will be suboxone tone down the effects of the kratom? Also, say I take the kratom first and then take a sub, will it put me into withdrawals like when you take an opiate?
Thanks!!!

You should use the subs to do a rapid taper off the heroin then when you jump off the subs you should use a very small amount of kratom to again taper down from the low dose sub withdrawals. That's how i would do it because taking subs while on kratom might throw you into precipitated withdrawals.

If you're taking a significant enough amount of kratom to help heroin withdrawals than Suboxone can definitely throw you into precipitated withdrawals. Kratom withdrawal isn't too bad by itself but I have heard horror stories if it's precipitated. I'd use one or the other but not both.
