Is there a kratom hangover?

Every adult has most likely experienced a hangover at some point in their life. This condition arises after excessive consumption of certain substances, the hangover is most often associated with alcohol, which is often used in large quantities in our society. Research has yet to prove a "kratom hangover," but many users claim the exact opposite.

So is there a kratom hangover? Do we have any options to possibly avoid it? Do we know a guaranteed "reliever"? Let's answer these questions!

You will find the answers in the following lines!

What can cause a kratom hangover?

As we have already mentioned, no clinical research has yet been conducted on this topic, so we will only be based on the assumptions and experiences of users who have experienced this condition. As with alcohol, there are factors with kratom that can make the after-effects of kratom worse:

• Dehydration
• Previous headache
• Consuming kratom on an empty stomach
• Lack of sleep

We also talk about factors specific to herbs of this type, for example:

• Using kratom at the same time as alcohol or other similar substances
• High doses of sedative strains
• Mixing two sedative strains of the same vein color
• Long-term regular use of kratom without strain rotation
• Contaminated or low quality kratom

Symptoms

Users encounter this problem relatively often, and most of them describe the condition in the same way as when they were happily drinking alcohol a day ago. Main symptoms of a kratom hangover:

• Headache
• Fatigue
• Dry mouth
• Nausea 
• Diarrhea
• Anxiety
• Mood swings 
• Loss of appetite

So we can observe that the symptoms are indeed de facto identical to those after drinking alcohol. Alcohol dilates the blood vessels, which results in the aforementioned side effects. With kratom, scientists have so far tried without success to find symptoms similar to a classic hangover, but so far they have not found any groundbreaking results. 

Despite these similarities, there are also fundamental differences, among which we include, for example, the effect on a person's cognitive functions, which can be affected by a hangover after drinking alcohol. It also disrupts heart rate and concentration. Users do not experience similar effects the next day after taking kratom. 

How long does it take?

Most of the respondents stated that this condition lasts for approximately 24 hours. However, the length depends not only on the quantity, but also on the quality and other factors. Most of the similar conditions in the case of kratom are probably caused by a lack of drinking regime during the given period of time. Another recommendation is protein-rich foods and rest, whether active or for example relaxing by listening to music or watching TV. 

However, the best medicine is the natural flow of time, which can solve the vast majority of human problems. That is why many of the interviewees also try to sleep in order to avoid possible inconveniences. In this way, they can avoid the metabolic process of absorption by the plant, which tends to be quite unpleasant if the dosage is not followed. 

However, there is also a way to avoid a kratom hangover almost entirely. Limiting consumption to regular but smaller portions is ideal. Getting your kratom from a trusted source is also important. If you have hangovers regularly, it's time to consider your consumption and reduce it. Furthermore, it goes without saying that you should not combine kratom with alcohol or other intoxicants, as doing so can lead to much more serious side effects in addition to hangovers. 

The difference between withdrawal symptoms and a kratom hangover

The main difference between the two conditions is the timing of the previous dose. A hangover appears the day after the last use, withdrawal symptoms are a much more complex process. 

Acute hangover effects occur as a result of specific factors and an excessive dose on one occasion. Weaning off is a much longer and more difficult process that the person has to face. 

It is ideal to keep a diary in which you will have your kratom use written down and completely under control. In this way, you can easily find out what specifically causes side effects in your case, and you can thus develop a plan for the most ideal ways of use. 

Furthermore, we must also emphasize that, similar to alcohol, we can expect slightly different side effects for each person with a hangover caused by kratom. 

Symptoms of withdrawal syndrome

Now let's take a short digression and list the symptoms of withdrawal syndrome:

• Nausea 
• Abdominal cramps
• Muscle pain
• Sleep problems
• Diarrhea
• Vision problems
• Dilated pupils
• Flushes of heat accompanied by perspiration
• Loss of appetite
• Fever
• Frequent mood swings (for example, anxious or irritable states)

How to get over a kratom hangover?

Let's break down how to get over your kratom hangover as quickly as possible and get back to your daily routine quickly:

Drinking regime

In general, water is considered one of the best helpers for any problem. This goes double for a hangover. Supporting metabolism and replenishing fluids are absolutely fundamental factors in getting rid of a hangover. Thanks to the acceleration of the metabolism process, toxins are removed from our body at a much faster rate. 

What can drinking water do?

• It helps with headaches
• Stops feelings of nausea
• Reduces the likelihood of diarrhea
• Relieves dry mouth
• Reduces muscle spasms

Doctors usually recommend drinking plenty of fluids. In this case, don't be afraid to drink, for example, an extra glass of pure water, it can only benefit you. Furthermore, various drinks with electrolyte content are recommended in this situation.

Plenty of food

If you feel completely nauseous, you will definitely not think about food. However, after withdrawing it, you should reach for some food with a higher protein content. For example, boiled eggs, meat or dairy products, which also have sufficient protein content, may seem ideal. 

Sleep

One of the easiest and most effective tips on this list is also sleep. In this way, we can avoid the unpleasant conditions that occur during the metabolism of kratom. 

Rest

Often, kratom users also focus on relaxation, which can also suppress hangover conditions. For example, it is recommended to lie down with a cold compress on the forehead and rest. Cold can constrict blood vessels and reduce pain neurotransmission to our bridge. 

Exercise

While you may feel tired, the complete opposite of rest can also help. Whether it's light exercise, a walk, or even housework, it can help release endorphins to give you the energy you need to get over the hangover itself. 

Over-the-counter drugs

If it is a particularly unpleasant and especially acute situation, some of the users also look for help among over-the-counter medicines. However, be careful, even many of the over-the-counter medicines can make us more difficult than helpful. 

Can a kratom hangover be avoided?

At the end of this article, we will cover how to completely avoid this unpleasant condition after using kratom. We will determine the basic principles that you should follow when using kratom. 

Drink lots of water

We've mentioned this for the umpteenth time, but it really is the absolute foundation and key to a positive kratom experience. Together with the hangover, we can avoid the side effects of kratom themselves thanks to the drinking regime. 

Do not mix alcohol with kratom

Although "on paper" the combination of these two substances may look absolutely fantastic, the opposite is true. IN one of the previous articles we've covered this issue more, but it's really important to emphasize this advice. Mixing alcohol and kratom is very dangerous, as all doctors agree. 

Watch the amount of kratom you take

If you create and stick to a set routine, you will likely avoid any side effects. This will prevent addiction or the administration of a higher dose. This deviation could lead to an unpleasant hangover. It is ideal not to take kratom more than once a day to get the routine right. If you want to take more doses, it is ideal to observe a time gap of at least 6-8 hours between them. 

If you are switching between different strains, you should always start at lower doses and work your way up to the effective dose itself. Strains with higher sedative properties are thought to be more likely to cause a kratom hangover.

Following a healthy diet

Not only can you help your body by following a healthy diet, you can even partially avoid the unpleasant conditions associated with a kratom hangover. If you take kratom after a large meal, its absorption will slow down and the effect itself will be more balanced and positive.
