I tried out kratom for the first time there and I must have overdone it (about 10g of red vein borneo) because some bad nausea kicked in. I felt too sick to do anything. I drank a cup of ginger tea and it got rid of most of the nausea and now I feel pretty good. Have any of you tried using anti-emetics to bypass the ceiling dose of kratom in order to get more of the sedative effects?
 
Anti-emetics for boosting sedative effects is not known to me, didn't you ment anti-histamines?
 
most antiemetics are also antihistamines. i *ALWAYS* take promethazine with my dope or oxy or whatever else. i don't even LIKE opioids without promethazine. it's known for it's sometimes amazing nausea relief (which is nice, obviously, when taking opiates) and it also keeps me from itching as much. when i run out of my promethazine scrip and dose an opiate, it just ain't the same.
 
Try meclizine (Bonine/Dramamine Less Drowsy) or cyclizine (Bonine for Kids), they're both OTC and meclizine is a fantastic anti-emetic since it works on 5-HT3 receptors like Zofran, has mild-moderate anticholinergic activity, and may also affect the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone, all of which work together to reduce nausea.

I haven't been able to find cyclizine proabably due to its stigma stigma and the fact it became OTC in the US only 3-4 years ago in 2009.

If you can get an Rx, try Hydroxyzine at 20-30mg, which is my hands-down favorite anti-histamine due to its lack of significant anticholinergic effects (which can really detract from the nuances of an opioid high), 5-HT2C antagonist effects which reduce anxiety, and for its long duration. Promethazine has a similar duration, but is far too sedating at moderate doses for my tastes and acts as an antipsychotic at high doses.
