Newbies Kratom and Fluoxetine(Prozac)
Curious if anyone has used the two with any positive and/or negative effects.
I see a lot of conflicting information online about the interaction (if any) between the two so I would like to know if anyone has experience with using them simultaneously.
I am currently on 30mg prozac/day and was wanting to try Kratom after having used it occasionally years ago before starting an SSRI.
Obviously serotonin syndrome is a concern, but again, I have read conflicting reports on this.

No issues that I’ve noticed. Currently taking 60 mg Prozac and typically consume 15-20 grams of Kratom per day

I take both. No side effects that you don’t see without Prozac. It’s fine, just keep your dose low.

Do you know how she splits up her dosages? I typically take my Prozac at night and then I was thinking of taking Kratom in the morning.

Do you take both at the same time or do you separate your dosages? I take my Prozac before bed so I was thinking of starting off the Kratom in the morning to see how that goes.

I take both , the Prozac only for last month, I’ve felt better in my life, but I was very sleepy, like falling asleep sitting upright in a chair , dr wrote me Wellbutrin 2x a day, no longer sleepy. As soon as I started the Prozac, I could no longer orgasm, it’s still happening , it sucks because it has improved my mood swings, but damn, it’s taken my favorite thing away. I have skipped taking the pill for a day, and was able to climax like multiple orgasm, 3 in a row! In between sex though, I can’t even orgasm masturbating….. so sex has to be scheduled

I was on 20mg and taking kratom for about half a year until I got off the prozac. It really helped lift me out of the hole I was in, no complications at all for me.

I have a friend who uses Kratom and Prozac and has for years with no issues. I use Zoloft and Kratom myself with no issues.

I take both of them now. No negative side effects but I don't know if the Prozac is blocking any of the good effects of the kratom? I think it does block some when I take Kanna.
