Kratom is a tree. The leaves are used as a recreational drug and as medicine. Kratom is banned by some states in the U.S. due to safety concerns.
People use kratom for withdrawal from heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, as well as cough, depression, anxiety, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Using kratom can also be unsafe. Kratom use has been linked to serious side effects including hallucinations, seizures, liver damage, withdrawal, and death. Due to these and other serious safety concerns, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to warn people to avoid using products containing kratom or its ingredients.
How does it work?
Kratom contains a chemical called mitragynine. Mitragynine works like opioid drugs such as codeine and morphine to relieve pain.
Uses & Effectiveness?
Insufficient Evidence for
Anxiety.
Cough.
Depression.
Diabetes.
Diarrhea.
High blood pressure.
Pain.
Withdrawal from heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs.
Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of kratom for these uses.
When taken by mouth: Kratom is POSSIBLY UNSAFE for most people. Kratom can cause many side effects, including tongue numbness, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, need to urinate, constipation, aggression, hallucinations, delusions, and thyroid problems. Kratom in large doses may cause trouble breathing, brain swelling, seizure, liver damage, and death.
Kratom can cause dependence when taken regularly. People who use kratom regularly and then stop taking it may experience decreased appetite, diarrhea, muscle pain and spasms, twitches, watery eyes, anxiety, trouble sleeping, anger, hot flashes, and fever.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy: Kratom is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth during pregnancy. Babies born to women who have used kratom during pregnancy have experienced withdrawal symptoms. These babies required special treatment for addiction.
Breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if kratom is safe to use when breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Alcoholism: People with alcohol dependence who use kratom appear to have an increased risk of suicide compared to those who use kratom but are not dependent on alcohol.
Mental disorders: In theory, kratom might worsen existing mental disorders. Also, people with mental disorders who use kratom appear to have an increased risk of suicide compared to those who use kratom but do not have a mental disorder.

I’ve been taking Kratom for over 6 years. I’ve never had any issues with taking it. The only problem I’ve had was my pain went away, my anxiety went away, and I lost 80+ lbs which is good because I was heavily overweight. It’s saved my life!

I struggled with Opiate addiction for years. Lost my 20+ year career in Fire/Rescue, lost my marriage, contemplated suicide more than once, couldn’t hold down a job… I was desperate and eventually read about Kratom in February of 2022. It took all of thirty minutes after my very first OPMS Gold shot to feel like myself again for the first time in YEARS. It totally ended my desire to find opiates. Zero desire for that Oxy. It reversed years of chronic pain, GI issues, I was able to actually get restful sleep, had energy to get out of bed and get back to living life. I am now several weeks into an incredible career (not a job, a career), and am well on my way to rebuilding a life that I can be proud of. Actually switched from OPMS Black shots to the Borneo green vein capsules yesterday. Still need to get the dosage dialed in, but so far, the caps seem to be working just as well at a lower dose than the shots. This stuff is a God send.

Thanks for sharing your experience although kratom is natural because it is literally just a leaf.

[@isaiahrowley9830]

Well it's his experience and we should respect that. But you are absolutely right. This plant is not part of the "opioid family", it's actually part of the coffee family oddly enough. I think what he means to say is that the alkaloids interact with opioid receptors. That isn't inherently a good or bad thing, it just is what it is. I think the biggest caveat that should be taken from this is that if you are going to use this it should be done responsibly as we don't have studies on the long term consequences. I do think it's worth having on the market.

[@nancysanders8013]

You took way too much, and millions of people have pancreatitis who have never taken kratom. I understand warning people, but with the amount you took it’s not a fair warning. I do agree they need to put the amounts to take on the package, but everyone can and should go online to find the amount to take. I don’t know if it’s mind control or not, but I still don’t take the recommended amount, and it still helps.

It was a fair warning if one takes to much this will happen. So yea thank the man for bringing us truth and take it as it is

[@therealpsychotrader]

I appreciate you being honest and open about your experience and so truthful of your own faults regarding it. I have been using Kratom for around 5 years now and it's taken multiple bouts of sickness to get myself disciplined in its usage. Right now I take 1 teapsoon 3 times daily. These are at set times, (7am, 12pm and 7pm). Every dosage is taken along with a mushroom complex, and green complex with probiotics. These things are EXTREMELY important in order to keep your gut balanced. There are ways to maintain long term and keep your overall health, but it really takes research and testing with your particular body type. Things like your overall diet outside of Kratom are also a huge factor. I have a pretty sizable food forest that I have created on my property, so I am also not ingesting garbage food from the store (exceptions to this though). My point is that as long as you're actively living a healthy lifestyle, and being proactive to support your gut, you can almost completely mitigate the bad effects. Regarding libido, I have not experienced a decrease so I cannot comment.

[@user-J250]

Im definitely addicted to Kratom. Been taking it about 3 months now. First few months about 2 heaping tsb twice a day. The last month the same dose but bigger heaping tsp’s and about 3-4x/day. The good thing is that it’s so much powder and so gross to have to chug down that’s what limits me to using anymore than I do now. What sucks is I feel flu’ish when I don’t take it so I know that’s a withdrawal 😑

[@silbernagle09]

Yeah man what I found works best is start a slow taper, start cutting back morning dose first so the night dose will still help you sleep, might feel a little uncomfortable during the day but staying busy and slowly cutting back doses is the way to go. You start to get used to the smaller doses with not as bad withdrawal as stopping cold turkey but the hardest part I feel is the mental urge to dose again. You can do it though, it's worth it!!

The powder should not be consumed the way people do it in the west. *** It should not be swallowed! *** I've been using kratom for 4 years daily now and had the same issue as you after the first couple weeks. I almost just gave up with it. Then someone online told me you need to make a boiled and filtered tea out of it. After doing it the filtered way, all those negative symptoms went away forever. It never makes me sick anymore, BUT the withdrawal is horrible.

Exactly because the plant matter is actually a toxin

[@joeshmoe000]

@@maaikewilhelmina1457 It takes a long time. You put a few cups of water (I usually put 6) in a medium sized pot. Then weigh out the kratom. I do anywhere from 7g to 20g - depends on your tolerance. Put that in the pot on max heat. It will start foaming as it begins boiling. Blow on the foam or use a spoon to crush it. When the foam starts to get less, turn the heat down to medium low and let that do a slow boil for 30 mins. After this, turn off the heat and slosh it around a lot to make sure all the sediment is floating around. Pour that into an aeropress quickly and in the sink. I get two big glasses of tea from this or three medium sized ones. It lasts all day. Make sure when you have later glasses that it's fully reheated and sloshed around again or it will be an unbalanced dose. It's kind of a PITA, but once you get good at it, it's not too bad.

I see a lot of folks acting like heroin addicts or people in serious physical pain need Kratom, but not someone with mental illness. I can tell you that the withdrawal from Kratom is no where near that of psychiatric drugs. Just isn’t. Stop saying it is, it isn’t. Life is shit for 3 days coming off Kratom, but gets better drastically after that. Psychiatric drugs can take years to seem like you’re back at a baseline. So if someone wants to use Kratom, that’s their business. If someone rather take cymbalta instead which is known to mess your liver up, that’s also their business. We should have options. Daily use for some of us is no different than someone taking their Prozac. I went from couch locked anxiety/depression to living a life worth being proud of because of Kratom. I chose it before going back to getting on psychiatric medication and I have no regrets.

1. Thank you for sharing this. I hope your health improves. 2. As stated, you were using WAY too much 3. You do not know your condition was (or was not) caused by Kratom, even though it is likely due to heavy and frequent use (and over-working). 4. Of course you had w/d’s. Taking that much of anything sustained for weeks, but also Kratom has opioid-like properties so… yeah. It’s unfortunate you “got hooked” and it’s true its not completely your fault due to no dosing instructions. People DO need to heed warnings like yours from people who have become dependent. I have been using tiny doses (about 1/2 tsp) 4-5 days/week for maybe 6 weeks and I can tell I would like to take it forever - but I know enough to say IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN DAILY.

[@Nizhonibearcreek]

So basically you’re saying you abused it … like with everything you have to use it in moderation and make smart choices, you sadly couldn’t make the choice to stop abusing it once you found yourself becoming dependent on it , every addiction is based off the abusers personal choices, if you continue to take it knowing the effect it is having on you is hurting you but you keep taking it then you are the Problem not the Kratom , you made stupid choices and continued to make them over and over again even though you shouldn’t , you are an addict and Kratom is your drug , let’s take responsibility for our bad choices . I grew up on the Rez and we take some things that alter our state for ceremonies and we know that it’s smart to take it a controlled environment and not to abuse it , I’m sorry but your just an abuser who wants to blame the substance instead of the choices you made .

Kratom is not an opioid, it's an alkaloid.

[@gotyaman1]

I think a general rule of thumb is that if a substance is psychoactive then you shouldn’t take it daily. Well unless something is chronically wrong with you and that didn’t seem to be the case. Thank you for the honesty with your experience! more people need to be forward with this. (Btw I do Kratom every once in a while)

[@LanHikari90]

To me, it just sounds like you abused it. I don't think using any substance on a regular basis like that (every day), without caring about the right dose and then working 14 hours is good. I do have kratom here, but I didn't use it so far, because I'm still reading up on it and while your experience is nothing to invalidate, it most likely stems from you misusing it. To me, substances like kratom are definitely to be used on an "as needed" basis and not like this: "Oh, I'm gonna take 3g of kratom every day, nothing's gonna happen anyway."

[@WhiteErFox]

I'm not taking it more then once a week, and sometimes I stay off it for weeks. When I feel anxiety, I take a (small) dose and I feel a bit of a "high" that fades after an hour or two. I have the experience like he did, not constipation, but the reverse. And the days after I get headaches sometimes or even a small fever. And I like that. It makes me realize I need to be careful. That I can't take it just when I feel like it, but only when I really need it. I respect herbs and nature. When they give you signs, you listen. And you listen good. You respect the signs and respect your position in nature. If you have trouble sleeping because of a herb, back off. If it numbs the pain, great, but don't use it as a lifetime painkiller. There are healthier ways, even breathing excercises that let you "control" your pain. (Wim Hoff anyone?) It's a bit like beer really. Or coffee. One numbs your senses (alcohol) and calmes your nerves (due to hop), but in large quantities it will harm your liver. Coffee makes you feel alert, but affects your heart and nerves. It's all drugs in a way. It's listening to your body that's the hardest part. Once you start to slip and slide, you're bound to hit a tree along the road.

[@hellomyfriend3795]

I'm sorry, but I think your pancreatitis is probably not liked to Kratom use, it is definitely a lot more likely that Kratom has nothing to do with it. There is no medical connection whatsoever between the use of kratom and this sickness. Yes, there are like 2 or 3 stories of people who took insane amounts of Kratom and reported this, but nobody knows if there is even a link, it is just speculation. Your daily dose btw wasn't that much after all, of course it was quite a bit, but not much. If you take any pschoactive substance daily you might develop some problems. If that's Heroin, Coffee or Kratom does actually not really matter. I think basically saying "It's all the kratoms fault" is a bit much (I know you aren't). It can be a good tool e.g. for pain patients. I wish you all the best! Edit: PS: You should have tapered down your dose and the withdrawals would not have been that hard. :)

One important aspect you didn’t mention is the products themselves. What you experienced was likely caused by bacteria contamination of your product. These leaf powders can often be contaminated with bacteria due to moisture in the bag, improper storage, etc. They can even be contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals. What is extremely important is that one must make sure to inform themselves through online forums such as reddit, where they can buy the highest quality leaf powder. Many people use it for years without any complications. The complications arise, when you buy the stuff from random websites or even worse, headshops, gas stations, etc.

Please buy at least a cheapest digital scale with precision of 0.01g. There are also special wooden spoons for Kratom ~0.5g but even those require a scale for proper dosing. Teaspoon is not the right tool to measure dose of anything - even coffee, tea or sugar. Rule #1 of a smart user (not abuser!) and lifehacker is 'always measure your dose'. Another rule is 'start low, find the smallest working dose possible and stick to it'. Check out Hamilton Morris for more wisdom in this field.

A lot of people use Kratom as a cheap shortcut to get high ,therefore abuse it . I make tea with it and add some ( don’t know how much ) to normal tea or if going for a walk I sometimes chew half a leaf ( I buy fresh from market ). It should not be taken every day ,I use it like any other painkiller- only when needed . As it’s hard to know the dosage,best to take too little than too much . Fortunately I do not have anxiety issues ,I only use it for an injury - which seems to help as I do strengthening and mobility exercises for my injury . If I do not use it and overdo the therapy exercises I tend to get inflammation, but if use light dose I do not get the same amount of painful inflammation - I’ve learned my lesson by knowing when and how much I can push my rehabilitation exercises. As my injury is healing ,tendons getting stronger I use it less often . So far I have no side effects nor any other issues .just stupidity on my part for over doing the exercises. As my strength is returning,I can use heavier weights and do not need to do a lot of repetitive exercising. I’d say taking it for no reason is not a good idea .

Принимаю кратом уже около двух лет. Развожу порошок одну чайную ложку в примерно пол стакана воды один раз в день обычно утром перед работой. И никогда не грамма больше. Что я чувствую: дает мне силы, энергию ( притом не такую как после энергетических напитков что потом краш, а нормальную натуральную энергию), нет апатии, хорошее настроение, нет раздражительности, снижает усталость. Видимо гормон Серотонин делает своё дело. Притом голова не одурманенная как при алкоголе а абсолютно чистая, трезвая, и ясная голова. Никакого обнормального или ненормального поведения абсолютно нет. Моя работа это умственная и физическая и кратом мне помогает концентрироваться, нет никакой раздражительности. Вожу машину абсолютно в здравом уме, с отличной реакцией. Повышается качество жизни. Когда еду в отпуск (2-3 раза в год) на две - три недели в страны где он запрещен то естественно я его не беру. Здесь пишут про синдром отмены. Я хочу сказать что лично у меня никакого синдрома отмены нет, когда я его не принимаю две - три недели то никакой ломки нет, нос не течёт. Всё как обычно как раньше. Я не знаю от чего это зависит, может быть доза маленькая а может быть качество самого кратома. Я слышала что в некоторых странах в Таиланде и в других южных странах в него подмешивают что-то ну например что бы было привыкание. И уже после месячного приема у людей может быть какая-то привязанность и синдромы при отмене. Я живу в Америке и у нас здесь он свободно продается, хотя даже любые антибиотики и другие препараты без рецепта не продаются, и прежде чем расфасовать кратом его 100 раз проверяют в том числе и на разные добавки. Спрашивала у людей которые также много лет принимают у них тоже нет никаких симптомов отмены. Некоторые его принимают от боли так как говорят что никакие боле утоляющие таблетки так не помогают. Ещё слышала что фармацевтическим компаниям не выгодно его продвигать или доводить до сведения людей, так как естественно хотят чтобы люди покупали и сидели на таблетках которые губят печень и от которых множество побочных эффектов, а они ( фармацевтические компании) делают на этом деньги. Ну в общем как-то так. Да ещё вы сказали что это опиоид, я с вами не согласна. Опиоид происходит от маковых растений, здесь абсолютно нет, просто эффект немного похож так от опиоидных препаратов. В анализе мочи или крови абсолютно ничего запрещенного не показывает.

Thanks for speaking up for the libido issue, this is a side effect that you will most likely have when taking molecule that binds to opioid receptors. Most people will pretend they don't have it but when I was taking it I was like.. man there's no way not 90% of people taking it feels like this, since this is purely logical for a drug that will release lots of Serotonin, which is a transporter to Prolactin. So down the line you have spiked up Prolactin all day long, which is one of the hormone released after having sex which makes you feel satisfied and not wanting to have sex anymore.

Benni Botanicals is my favorite, he has some amazing stuff right now namely Green Goddess and Green Nugroz. That said, I wouldn't start there. Whole Earth Kratom will send you 20g of kratom completely for free so you can know whether it's worth spending money on it. Grab 10g of their green and 10g of a different color and start with 3 grams. Measure your blood pressure before, an hour after dosing, and again 2 hours after dosing. Work your way up in dose slowly to see what works for you, taking too much will leave you with insane nausea, so go from 3g to 3.5 to 4g, etc. Final advice, taking ginger root capsules with your kratom will massively help in preventing nausea.

Alcohol hangover and kava nausea will make you want kratom even more. Hope you are in a state where delta 8 thc is legal. Do not get high from it but in lower doses it can help you and provide you that grateful feeling that kratom does.

Also, I take kratom and still feel pain. I should also mention that I only use it once a day in the morning… it has basically replaced my morning cup of coffee. I can easily go without. You’re literally spreading misinformation and propaganda. I’m guessing you were using WAYYYY too much.

[@Alex-fr1lt]

while i agree with you that kratom is quite a strong drug i am not convinced it contributed to your inflammation. I am sure there is negative effects long term but I do not believe it is very dangerous unless combined with alcohol or some prescription medication. I have not found a reason to stop yet, it changed my life for the better. My tolerance is lower than when I started taking kratom, I think for some people kratom is not for them and they seem to develop tolerance faster and have more negative effects.

I've been taking it for 6 years. It's honestly fine. This guy has no idea what he's doing. Hes taking an extreme dose for pleasure not for any other reason.

[@FloetryFox88]

I've been taking Kratom for about 5 months, and have no negative side effects at all whatsoever. I just think people need to realize that every person's body is different and just because one person develop side effects, that doesn't mean everybody is going to develop side effects

I am 64 and just started taking kratm for energy, it does help, I ha e been on it for 2 months taking 3 or 4 grams a day, I will stop using it see what happens if withdrawals come then I will just redu e the dose litle by little.

I've been using Kratom for almost a year now 30-40gs a day it's made me completely apathetic and depressed. I try to quit but it's so difficult.

[@JoeMama-vj8es]

That's about 10X too much!!

[@shekeitam328]

😨😳 That's a hell of a lot of Kratom. Usually the recommended dosage is 3-5g. You feel that way because the more you take ,the more its sedation effects kick in. Lower dosages are uppers. Higher dosages are suppressants.

[@subwooferhowling2355]

Bro you should get professional help, I'd lower the dosage as the time goes on until you're at 0. This can really mess you up

[@raykemplin2317]

Keep to leaf no extracts or concentrates. Keep the amount under 4 grams daily, dont drink everyday , NO BOOZE. I skip weekends, for example. Got myself at 1 large meal daily workout consistently. Same weight as was in my 30 - 40's I'm 60 feel great. Motivation, energy fucken like a pornstar

Hey man. This is a great video. Some of the exact same things I go through . Constipation i really hate

[@hampshirecountryroads8144]

Been on Kratom everyday for 6 years straight before it became popular or before you saw it at gas stations. I take 12 Kratom capsules with 2 ginger and 2 vitamin D every single day for years with no issues or problems.

[@hampshirecountryroads8144]

Take probiotic with it everyday and it will go away

[@calholli]

You're literally just not drinking enough water. smh.. Kratom is a really fine powder.. You have to drink a lot of water if you take it regularly.

[@courtcox7075]

I been taking kratom for 5 years everyday all day and Ive none of these problems. I take 3 to 4 grams every 4 to 5 hours. and yes if I run out for a few days or when I was on CDL school for a month and couldn't take it cause it's illegal in Arkansas or when I went to Louisiana before CDL school to get clean from smoking because my mom kicked me out because I was smoking and not getting a job. the withdrawals are definitely bad but only lasted about 4 days. But I have no stomach problems, and my penis actually works magnificent on kratom. Almost too good I usually make girls have to tap out from getting to sore and I'll be fine hahahaha I'll be like awe.. damn ok... Hahaha tmi?? PS I got my CDL and I don't smoke weed anymore!!! So woohoo. She let me move back in lol.

[@HarryNoze]

I’ve taken 10 grams most days for 2 yrs. no stomach pain or sexual problems. I had constipation, but take fiber so that went away. I drink a ton of coffee too. My brain seems to like this family. I cut back the coffee a bit because it was causing a lot of physical anxiety. Never had any issues with kratom. I do get slight withdrawals like I do with coffee, but nothing really uncomfortable other than a slight headache. I’d like to quit caffeine for a month, but I can’t. The kratom is much less difficult.

[@Baseem]

Maybe your stomach is stronger than mine, but withdrawal is nasty. Just letting you know:)

[@jondoe2262]

I been takin 14 grams a day for the past year and I havnt had any problems but I'm going to quit before I develop problems. The one thing I did notice was I don't wake up wit morning wood if u know what I mean but I jus assumed it was becuz I'm 30 yrs old now

Kratom is actually from the same plant family as coffee ☺️

[@georgewaters2533]

3tsp?!?!? Jeez dude… I have used it for years, never more than 2-3g when I needed some extra energy. 3 tsp must’ve been 15g+!!!😮😮😮

[@doctorferny]

I was addicted to dihydrocodeine for two years, moving to Kratom helped with that addiction. Anyway, withdrawals from DHC were absolutely awful. Withdrawals from Kratom were bad, but not so bad. My advice to anyone coming off either drug; don't go cold turkey. Buy weak strength codeine (cocodamol, neurofen plus, etc...) and slowly taper.

[@Fabermorrow]

3 teaspoons is waaaaay too much... I dont know what research you did on dosages. But in thailand and indonesia where it is from and has been taken for hundreds of years, they sometimes even just chew a single leaf for like 5 seconds then spit it out... I also visited thailand recently and expected to see powders, none at all i found and only fresh leaf which is way less strong and less side effects as you can chew and spit orrr they make a tea which i expected to be strong and feel like the powder but its much much weaker than i expected... I drank two massive two litre bottles of it one day to try get a proper buzz and only felt like i had a nice relaxing cup of joe..

[@austincopeland6177]

Kratom is in the family of coffee. Red strain helps with sleep and your crazy for taking that much. Moderation is key like with any substance.

[@michaeltorres2456]

Exactly this guys claiming it’s an opiate which is simply untrue. Has opiate like properties that doesn’t make it an opiate

[@slugo915]

It's like any other thing you decide to put into your body. To much is almost always gonna be bad. But also people need to realize that everyone's situation is different. Depends on so many factors as in body size, other medications one might be taking and so on. Kratom will like Mary Jane effect each person diffently. Start low and keep hydrated and you should takes breaks. I only take for a maximum of 3 days then I take a 2 day break. Would I like to take it everyday, sure but I don't. I wish people like this guy wouldn't post these because it fuels big pharma into trying to take it away!

[@Baseem]

That's true! Each person responds differently and I'm sharing my experience.

[@nooneatnowhere]

Kratom is not an opiate. It's an anti inflammatory and analgesic. If abused it can create addiction as it is related to coffee and contains caffeine which is addictive. When coming off caffeine you can also have withdrawals very similar to opiate withdrawals. Your info is very good, but to say it is an opiate/opioid is inaccurate. It has similar properties but cannot be considered an opiate in any way. I sleep quite well when I take it, but I only take it maybe 2 or 3 times a week, some weeks not at all. Only when the pain is exceptionally severe. If used appropriately it is safe. Also, pancreatitis is caused from infection and alcohol abuse as well. My father had an infection that resulted in pancreatitis, and he died from it. He never took kratom a day in his life...never once. Many cases being attributed to kratom may not necessarily be the result of kratom at all. Your issue may be completely unrelated to your kratom use, or may have simply been starting prior to your use and could've been complicated by it, but not caused by it. ADHD can actually be attributed to pancreatic issues undiagnosed in childhood. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but you're attributing your condition solely to kratom and not considering the possibility that something else caused it. Tho it occurred simultaneously it doesn't necessarily mean it was the cause. I know one person who also got pancreatitis while using kratom but they were also taking adhd meds as well as other anti-inflammatories (Meloxicam) for arthritis. Taking multiple chemical medications is risk enough, but to add any herb on top of it can exacerbate an already underlying issue. In his case the meloxicam was deemed to be the causative factor, and not the kratom. As you have ADHD, did you continue taking your adhd meds while supplementing with Kratom? That might be something to consider as most adhd medications are synthetic methadone which is a narcotic. Kratom has come under scrutiny not because it is a bad herb, but because it has been used incorrectly, or abused. Please do not take this as an insult. I assure that's not my intent. I just feel that, while there is merit in examining this herb, giving it undue scrutiny is also detrimental. My experience is that, in moderation, it helps my pain and helped me actually recover from cancer by supporting better sleep, and reduced pain without highly processed chemical medications. Everyone's story is different and I appreciate that you acknowledge that. Just felt it equally important to offer some food for thought on its continued efficacy.

[@Ryanguy22]

If you speak to any addiction specialists, or for people who have turned to this, would tell you same thing as he is. People can qbuse KRATOM, to the fact of taking in high doses, you get euphoria just like pain killers OPIOID. Some people have been recommended to take this, who suffer neuropathy, ie which some sort of PAIN MED, is needed for people to function.

[@Ryanguy22]

Also, hes correct. Its in the opiate family, which is why its banned in many countries

[@bradbland9307]

It’s an opioid

[@seekeroftruths3911]

Yes it is, your defending the high.

[@nooneatnowhere]

You're....since you're so determined to correct people. I'm not defending the high. I do not get high off of it. And no, if you knew what you're talking about, you'd know it's not an opiate. You can get high off caffeine as well, and as this is related to coffee, that would be the source of the high. Look it up, it is in the coffee family, not the opiate family. Anyone who knows how to do some research would know this. As it is related to coffee, it, like coffee, helps with focus, mental clarity, alertness, but like coffee, also has analgesic properties. Coffee is also an addictive substance and can cause digestive issues, shaking, heart problems, and in some cases if taken in large quantities, may create a buzz like effect, but can be very dangerous. All things require moderation... Even coffee, or it can be dangerous. When abused, anything can be detrimental to someone's health. In this case, the maker of the video admitted to abusing it by using too much and using it incorrectly. Kratom was not the problem, stupidity was. I apologize for saying it so bluntly, but that is the fact of the matter. Also, he stated that ADHD meds gave him stomach problems...see the connection? According to him, kratom also caused stomach issues resulting in pancreatitis...possibly. He never said that was definitive, just speculative. Seems to me, any strong chemical medications he takes, particularly of the stimulant type, such as ADHD meds, AKA methodone - a narcotic and stimulant, and Kratom, I'm guessing coffee, too...are likely to cause intestinal issues for him. It's probably a propensity to become ill from them, so there must be an underlying intestinal issue that has not been examined. Coupled with abuse of a product, severe medical problems can occur easily. And he still has failed to examine other probable causes besides this. That, too, is irresponsible. As far as neuralgia...I have neuropathy and neural pain and it doesn't help with that. It helps muscle pain, and doesn't require much for that effect. I've never experienced euphoria from it, and don't intend to find out what that is like. I take maybe 2 grams once or twice per week. Not multiple times every day, and certainly not several grams at any one time. That's stupidity and abuse. 2 is plenty. Please do not insult me by saying I'm defending the high. Most people who use kratom wisely, such as myself, do not experience a high. Those of you doing it for this reason are the ones giving it a bad name and making it harder for the rest of us who are fighting to keep it legal and educating people about the PROPER use and handling of it. The information is out there. I suggest you use it and stop pretending like you know anything about it when it's clear that you do not. Stupidity and ignorance solve nothing.

[@c.c.h.3769]

You should not down dry kratom. You make a tea and drink a butt ton of water while you are on it. You shouldn't take more than 2 grams of powder per 6 to 8 hours. In addition do not mix with other drugs especially antidepressants and tramadol which can cause serotonin syndrome. But the most important thing to remember don't take it more than 3 to 5 days and take long breaks. Sounds like you over did it. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome are fever, chills, headaches. By the way you can live without your pancreas you don't know what your talking about. My Dad had his pancreas removed. He's 81 and doing just fine. He takes a medication called Creon that allows him to digest his food.

[@BigMikeyVee]

I am on SNRIs, Wellbutrin and I used to vape a lot. I started taking Kratom and after taking it everyday for like 3 weeks I got really sick. So I stopped taking kratom. The next day I thought what I was feeling was withdrawal symptoms, so I kept taking kratom. Turns out I was experiencing the same thing as you, I felt like I was gonna die. Worst pain I’ve ever felt. I don’t have health insurance, so I was very hesitant going to the doctor.

[@KomradeKlonopin]

Please do more research before mixing drugs, wellbutrin lowers your seizure threshold more than any other drug out there. Kratom lowers it a very small amount, but when it comes to wellbutrin mixing it with any drug that lowers the seizure threshold whatsoever is insanely risky. Even in patents using just wellbutrin at typical doses (150-300mg) the risk of seizure is about 1/1000, which is extremely high considered how often it's given out. Absolutely never mix wellbutrin with kratom, alcohol, phenibut, anything that causes seizures.

[@ninjawolfist]

it's because you're on Wellbutrin if you only took it once a day that isn't enough to get withdrawals especially not as bad as you're describing
