Typically I'll take about 20 or 25 milligrams of Hydro after getting home from work before dinner.

I think it would be great to take only one pill and augment the effect with Kratom.

Is this a bad, foolish and/or dangerous idea?

I'm excited about the fact that my Kratom has arrived. But now I'm a bit stumped about how to best use it.

BTW, my goal is to wean myself off of Hydro with Kratom as my merciful companion.

I am so far from an expert on this but here's my experience. I bought some kratom powder and leaves for tea. My goal: hoped to supplement and bring down any tolerance I may have acquired. I take 4 a day, when I used kratom, I only took one if that.
Did you get the powder or leaves? I prefered the powder, chased with H20. BTW this was a long long time ago. HTH. Good Luck and keep us posted.

My experience isn't that the kratom augments the hydrocodone, as in boosting it. But rather, it mollifies the bad effects of any withdrawl symptoms. You just won't feel real bad, which is good.

roll it up and smoke it lol.. seriously though, i read on one of those kratom pages that smoking it was no more beneficial than anyone of the other methods..
good luck with it scrutinizer, let me know or let (us) know how you are progressing with this stuff and your w/d's

Scrutinizer, I'll sound in on the subject as I've gone through a hydro-kratom-Tramadol cycle for a long time now. My experience is that I've tried augmenting the hydro with kratom but it hasn't seemed to have much effect to mix them.

For me, the blessing of the kratom is that once I run out of, or otherwise decide to quit taking hydro, even if only for a while, the kratom completely stops all withdrawal effects, and continues to do it as long as I take it.

I have a question anyone can answer if they have some input---I've never had this problem before but lately I've been having some real upper GI issues and the kratom (resin) sometimes makes me nauseous. Does anybody have any thoughts on what might be helpful? Right now I'm taking it with more food than usual, as at least then I can keep it down. Good luck to all and kratom really does rock!

If your GI upset is in stomach or maybe a little higher, I have some input. A few years ago, I had a case of heartburn/indigestion that would not go away. Massive amounts of Pepto, Tums, etc. had no effect. I would, literally, take 50-60 Tums in a day. So I went to my pcp, and he prescribed Prevacid. It's at the top of the list for drugs that aid in this type ailment, i.e., there's nothing stronger. That's what my doc said, and it was confirmed by internet research. The stuff really works! The only caveat is it takes about 3-5 hours to start taking effect, which can be he//, but once it kicks in, the relief is awesome. I can't remember the technical term for Prevacid, but it shuts down acid production altogether. Worth a try if your nausea is in the upset stomach and/or lower esophagus.

Actually supposedly that's possible.

Not sure how you'd do that with powder though.

Might be a good idea if you have a full stomach and need immediate relief.

I wonder if I could sprinkle some powder on top of some other well-known burnable substance.

Anyone know?

I never mix the 2 as it seems to nullify the effect. Choose one and don't waist the other. If you choose kratom, I think you will find that the hydro then does not work as well if you take it soon after the hydro, same goes the other way around. In my experience, kratom is best taken without anything else to get the best results.

So you are saying that they actually make the other substance LESS effective?

Wow, that's good to know.

Wouldn't want to waste anything.

scrut, thats what I have experienced. I have taken kratom before and then hydro later and the hydro seemed less effective, same way the other way around. Might be just me but I have heard this before so if I were you, I would stick to one at a time on days. Maybe one day just take kratom, another day, just take hydro or whatever else.
