- Consider using magnesium or omega-3 fatty acids for potential benefits without the risks associated with kratom.
Watch out for
- Combining two or more central-nervous-system depressants can cause heavy sedation and badly impaired alertness, much more than either one alone. These include phenibut, kratom, kava, tianeptine, amanita (muscimol), blue lotus, benzodiazepines (e.g. Xanax), the sleep medicines zolpidem (Ambien), eszopiclone (Lunesta) and zaleplon (Sonata), gabapentin/pregabalin, opioids, sedating antidepressants such as trazodone and mirtazapine, sedating antipsychotics such as olanzapine and haloperidol, sedating antihistamines and anticholinergics such as promethazine, diphenhydramine and scopolamine, clonidine, and topiramate or zonisamide. With phenibut, kratom, kava, tianeptine, amanita or blue lotus, and with opioids, benzodiazepines, the sleep medicines above, or gabapentin and pregabalin, the combination can also cause dangerous, potentially fatal slowed breathing. The risk is much higher with alcohol. Ask a pharmacist, or the prescriber if any of these was prescribed, before you combine them. If any of these is a prescription, do not stop or change it on your own, because stopping some of these suddenly is dangerous in itself. Get emergency care for extreme drowsiness, confusion, or slow/shallow breathing.
- Monitor for increased sedation and side effects when combining gabapentin with kratom.
- Consult healthcare provider for any changes in medication or supplement regimen.
