Liver enzymes elevated

Original post in this thread

Not sure, maybe should post this in r/drugs?

My friend just had his labs drawn and he told me his ALT 120's. Two weeks later in the 130's. All other labs completely normal. He had started kratom 6 weeks prior, about 7-10gm / day. Coluracetam, L-theanine 100mg/ day. Modalert 200 1x/day. Phenibutt 1250mg 3x/ week for about 9 or 10 months.Almost never more than 1 beer or glass of wine per evening. 50mg/ day vaped cannabis. Otherwise very healthy. As soon as he heard about the high ALT he dropped the noots, zeroed the etoh, stopped everything except the modafinil, cannabis, and 6-7gm / day kratom. He was hoping the ALT would have gone down but it went up. He'll get it checked again in 2 months.

Modafinil can raise liver enzymes. Also, mixing it with alcohol is a bad idea. If he is taking modafinil daily, and having beer every day, that can cause issues. Modafinil and alcohol do not mix!

Also, there are reports of some people having liver issues with kratom. Your friend is taking modafinil, which is heavily metabolized by the liver, kratom, and drinking daily. That is not the best idea.

Modafinil Tolerance: Possible Modes of Action

I can 100% confirm that the CYP3A4 induction from modafinil is substantial. At least it is for me. If I take modafinil in the morning, then take a substance that is metabolized by CYP3A4 (i.e. kratom), then the effects a

[META] Modafinil discussions should not be prohibited anymore. The hype around it has died down, and it is still one of the most effective and safest nootropics.

Replying to theskepticalidealist · > Are you saying you take modafinil/armodafinil in spoon fulls? Oh no sorry I edited my post I forgot to write "of Kratom" lol. I usually take 200mg or 150mg armodafinil when I ta

It depends on the blood testing they ran. Did they do vitamin B12 and D levels? Did they check hormones, and total/free testosterone? There are so many types of blood testing you can add on. Then there is 23andMe testing

Are there any effects of MAOI on Kratom alkaloids?

Replying to [deleted] · [deleted]

It definitely warrants more investigation. Perhaps it's the CYP2D6 induction leading to most of the effects, but there is a difference, for sure. I also notice kratom to not be as effective on days I take modafinil, whic
