LOL To reiterate:
PS: The DEA withdrawing the September ban was actually a positive step in the right direction. Plus 45 members of the House intervened to petitioned the DEA to stop the Kratom ban. That's, frankly, unprecedented. I feel confident about the December 1st due date. And if I'm wrong, well I'll just move on. :/
You feel confident that Kratom will stay legal or will become illegal on December 1st??
I'm hoping that it stays legal.
Yes it was VERY unprecedented and a step in the right direction, but I hope it doesn't just stop there and stays legal.
It's my favorite drug ever other than maybe shrooms and I want to continue to have access to it.
But I really don't know the answers to your questions here man, and I'm not sure if anyone here can claim to for sure.
I very much doubt it would have negative reactions with a steroid inhaler, Asprin, Milk Thistle or omeprazole and I wouldn't hesitate to mix it with them, but I don't have much familiarity with the other substances you are talking about.
As mentioned, I don't think Kratom is toxic to most people's livers.
I really don't know much about the issue of fluid retention, I'm not a doctor.
One thing about your night time dosage, FOR ME and many others Kratom keeps them up at night, but some others sleep on it just fine.
I personally could not sleep a wink unless the Kratom had WORN OFF about 6 hours prior to bedtime, but this may not be an issue for you.
I recommend trying to keep your dosage low and not using more than about 3 days a week so you don't get addicted, but even if you do I didn't find the withdrawals to be very bad but I was VERY strict about NEVER using it more than 4 days a week.
As for strains, they tend to differ based on vendor and are not always the same across the board so I'm not sure how much name always matters, but red strains are usually more sedating, white more stimulating and green in the middle.
Green Malay is my favorite strain followed by Red Bali.
If you want to toss and wash thats how I do it, just put a VERY small amount in my bottom lip like if it were chewing tobacco (I suggest NOT putting more than a teaspoon in your mouth at one time) and wash it down with water...but beware it doesn't taste good and many people HATE it more than I do and do NOT put too much in your mouth at once or you could choke on it on the way down as it is very gritty like a ground herb would be.
There are other ways to take it but toss n' wash is the only I've used.
It takes about 45 mins to kick in and lasts about 4 hours.
I would personally not eat a LOT before you take it and during the first two hours of the experience as that can dull it, but I don't starve myself to get high off it like others do either.
Many people think you HAVE to take it on an empty stomach to get high and I've found that to be false in my case BUT you will almost certainly get higher the longer you go without food before taking it.
You might perhaps find you don't get as high as some people if you've eaten a lot prior to it as you said you are a big guy, and I wouldn't want to ruin the experience, so I'd just suggest not eating for 2 hours prior and then not again till it's worn off.
You say you have stomach issues and Kratom gives SOME people stomach aches so I might suggest taking some Pepto Bismol or something like that if it bothers you as that has helped with me, but usually my stomach tolerates it fine.
As you've probably heard, many compare it to a low dose of Vicodin with some stimulant effects as well.
Just a really nice mood boost and puts me in a great mood.
