Theoretically, taking kratom in combination with serotonergic drugs may increase levels of serotonin, increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome. https://hellopharmacist.com/drug-supplement-interactions/drug-herbal/kratom-with-atomoxetine Kratom has a Moderate interaction with Atomoxetine. Theoretically, kratom might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies)
