suboxone and kratom

[shaunathan]

is it safe to combine a recreational dosage of suboxone with kratom?
would it even be worth it to try, or wasteful?
they both have similar yet distinct effects so I am curious on intertwining them

I would reason that taking 1-2mg suboxone sublingually (no more than 1mg snorted) mixed with 3-5g of kratom would be a nice, fun combo, while being much safer than high doses of methadone/other full-agonists.

The idea is to get the maximum effect from the norbuprenophine (full-agonist) metabolite of bupe, while not taking so much bupe that it occupies your mu-opioid receptors and outcompetes the norbuprenophine out of your receptors, and hence, your synapses. This norbupe "ceiling" dose is around 4-6mg buprenorphine sublingual, but 1mg bupe sublingual = 30mg hydrocodone, so be careful! It would not be wasteful, but it WILL raise your tolerance to the point where you must mix the two together to get any sort of recreational/analgesic effect.

Good luck! Keep us posted, OP, and welcome to Bluelight!

I really would have thought suboxone to block kratoms effects, even at low doses of sub. I could be wrong.
