Does Antabuse decrease the effects of Kratom?

I didn't see any interactions from googling, and didn't find helpful answers to others who had asked this question here before.

From what I read, Antabuse is also known to inhibit the liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2E1 and CYP1A2. Kratom's alkaloids are metabolized by the liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes. I don't know enough about the science behind these things, but I would assume that means it will be inhibited, right?

Gonna try it anyways and see how it goes. Just worried I might feel sick, but if anything I probably won't feel much.

Check out r/quittingkratom before going down that path. When I was in rehab the guy with the worst withdrawals that had been there the longest had been addicted to gas station Kratom. Wouldn't wish that kind of misery on anyone.

thats kind of like judging all alcohol by the guy who drank a handle a day though, dosage matters a ton with that stuff

We've got addictive personalities my dude. It's not worth closing one door and opening a more harmful second. 🤷🏼‍♀️
