Combinations - Ambien + Kratom

[Nicaine]

SWIM just mixed Ambien + Kratom, almost unconsciously... he was gonna go to bed, so he plugged 7.5mg Ambien, then changed his mind and went for a low-moderate dose of kratom (7g or so), which he might boost slightly since he already dosed once on kratom today... this is a rare second dose for him in the same 24-hour period.

The combo should be interesting, as the two substances have drastically different effects. If sleep is imminent, SWIM thinks the kratom would at minimum draw out the time it takes for Ambien to knock him out -- at most it could overcome it completely and prevent sleep (that's what SWIM expects to happen).

SWIM believes this will ultimately be a kratom high that's modified somewhat by Ambien, rather than the other way around. More on this to come shortly, as the kratom begins taking effect.
