User Reviews for kratom

I got Kratom to treat my headaches and depression. It works fantastically. Above and beyond what I had imagined. Absolutely no side effects other than I can do life. It just makes me feel lifted, not high. This drug is absolutely not addictive. Anyone who says it is is just wrong. I can take it when I need it and not even think about it when I don't. I don't have to take an antidepressant every day or go through any of the side effects that that causes. I am a huge advocate and would sell it door to door if I could. I am getting pretty tired of the negative comments about it not being regulated. I am not an advocate of the overuse of alcohol or any pot smoking. Kratom is just right.Read More Read Less

IFBB pro bodybuilder here. Been using Uprising kratom extract supplements for over a year as a pain reliever and sleep aid and am glad to provied a review. Their products work for me. I experience less pain in my shoulder and consequently get a more restful night of sleep. I prefer using kratom over any over the counter pain reliever or sleep aid because it's comes from a natural leaf thats been been used for 1000 years by other cultures for a multitude of purpsoes. If you are considering kratom just be aware there are a lot of shady companies selling it. The reason I use Uprising kratom is because it's grown and bottled in the USA and they go to great lengths to test and assure the quailty and purity of their ingredients AND provide proof! I do NOT recommend buying kratom from companies that don't provide proof of where it's grown and bottled along with purity and quality testing results. It's just not worth it. If you're going to do it, get the good stuff.Read More Read Less

With Kratom, I no longer see a psychiatrist nor take anti-depressants. My extreme back pain from re-injury and surgery in 2016 is controlled without painkillers. Also, Kratom has been indispensable in stopping my dependence on alcohol. I haven’t had a drink in four years, something I thought was impossible. I imagined that I would die a full-blown alcoholic. Please don’t make me a criminal by banning the resource that has saved my life.

I've been talking kratom for 4 and 1/2 years and it has helped me tremendously with my back pain. If I didn't have this product, I would be on pain pills and I used to be addicted to loratab . This helps me get through the day and helps me get jobs done. Sometimes take it to just chill pain free. The only side effect for me is sometimes it will make me constipated.

I take red kratom for spinal stenosis herniated disc. It has changed my life. I have bad arthritis in my spine. The pain is excruciating and constant. Kratom has given me 7-9 hrs a day of mobility, pain free. I don't get high, I don't get sleepy. I get relief. Do you know what chronic pain is when no one will prescribed the pain medicine you need? Torture. If I didn't have chronic pain I wouldn't take kratom. It is non addictive

I went from opioids and nerve pain meds to CBD oil and now finally Kratom works the best out of all of them. By far the best natural pain relief I have tried. I use it for a herniated disc in my neck. Im finally able to run and lift weights normally. Kratom Country red maeng da capsules are my go to!

56yo male,gulf war veteran, retired nurse, on morphine x7yrs,percocet x8yrs,chronic pancreatitis, etoh connosouir, pain free, drug free, alcohol free x10months. Truly a miracle! Zero side/adverse effects, burst of energy (no hype), mood stable, pain absolutely gone. Strength/stamina exploded. One capsule bid, can't rave enough about this God given miracle.

My friend drank a energy drink that has kratom in it,and now he is addicted to it. went from to 2 to 3 drinks a day to 12 now he's having withdrawals like he was on heroin BAD BAD DRUG

It's addictive, be careful how much you take! I used to take 2g a day and when I stopped taking it I had terrible insomnia for 10 days also very nervous. Unexpectedly it also got rid of a chronic cough which was obviously stress related.

Saved my life

I use Pure Botanicals Train Wreck and this product. I have had surgery on both knees and issues with my back.

I’ve been using Kratom for about 4 1/2 years now and it works wonderful for pain. I get back and neck pain as well as neutron my hands and feet. It doesn’t help my neuropathy in a traditional sense but kind of makes them numb instead of having them burn all the time. I’ve tried all strains. So far I like the Blue Magic White Mang Da and Tai, White was thought to be the least best for pain in outdated information but recent study does reveal the 7-hydroxymitraginine is actually the stronger alkaloid in it so it makes sense white works better. Mang Da is supposed to be the best for many meaning “Pimp Grade” but the White Tai is actually really effective as well. My next favorite is Blue Magics “Trainwreck” which is White, Red, and Green all mixed together. I don’t recall if Mang Da is the grade or if it even has anything like that listed. Here’s the bad: Kratom usage over a long period of time will make you develop one hell of a tolerance to Narcotic Pain Relief. Hospital Staff won’t understand this and likely won’t take into consideration that you may have an increased tolerance to opioids due to Kratom so it is important to tell them this yourself. You will want to talk to both your Doctor treating you and the Anesthesiologist assigned to your case. The anesthesiologist may have a higher level of understanding because their job revolves around Narcotics. Remember, they are not mind readers and they likely know much less about Kratom than you do. Seriously. If you don’t express this concern of your tolerance to the staff depending on why you are being hospitalized you could be looking at some serious trouble. This is the downside of Kratom. I want to give you an example. I am on an extremely potent medication for my opioid dependency called Buprenorphine and it’s estimated to be between 30-50 times the strength of morphine and yes- while it is only a partial agonist- Kratom actually outdoes the Buprenorphine in high enough but safe amounts. Yes, I am saying that Kratom has as much if not a little stronger psychoactive properties than Suboxone. But they are very close to being about even. So 1Tolerance, Remind the Hospital Staff or Primary Care Physician that you have a tolerance because of your Kratom Use 2Ne very careful what you mix with Kratom. It is actually possible for Mitraginine and 7-hydroxymitraginine to kind of metabolize into another drug in your system if you mix it with the wrong thing, this could increase chances of overdose and respiratory depression. So be very careful when using it.Read More Read Less

After a serious car accident and a few months in the hospital I started taking Kratom because I didn't want to take pain killers like oxycontin. It works well enough to help me through the day and to sleep well at night.

I don’t write medicine reviews but experiencing Kratom’s benefits makes me want to share. Kratom is simply the most effective thing I have found for chronic arthritic pain and spasticity. Cannabis is okay but I really don’t need all the Pink Floyd daydreaming that comes along with it. I only take kratom two days a week to have a little respite from the pain and make it through the work week. Instant mood lift, energy level increase, and the nagging pains silently recede. It makes me feel like I am normal. I hope scientists can determine a recommended and safe regimen for kratom. I believe that there is huge potential in this leaf. Read More Read Less

I have Crohn’s disease. Anxiety. Depression. Asthma. Arthritis in shoulders hands elbows and my whole spine is full of arthritis So I’ve taken meds for many years and with how the doctors are getting with lowering my meds to where I could hardly move let alone work yet the government won’t give me disability when I know people with a crohns diagnosis who get it well I was diagnosed with it in 2001 it’s almost killed me three times I’ve had two bowel resections from rips and masses and have had many feet of intestines removed doctors are horrible they won’t help with anything I’ve had some refuse to prescribe me my crohns meds saying I’m just lying about my condition. Nope been diagnosed sorry you don’t read my medical chart. But I started kratom a year ago and I tell you what I’m a different person that’s for sure. I take nothing but kratom and my diabetic meds but my chronic pain I’ve had for over 20 years in my back shoulder elbows hands knees hips it’s gone I’m more active even lost 40 lbs I also got a good job and am now a assistant manager for a little ceasars pizza something that I’m know wouldn’t have happened with how my medical issues where handled. For those who had someone die on it you can also die from drugs your doctors prescribed or from reactions to meds working with other meds you can also drop dead walking out your front door. There is a risk to everything you take and do so don’t pull this so and so does taking well maybe they shouldn’t have taken so much. Like opioids you take to much things go down a bad road. Kratom is my blessing I wish I had found it sooner Blue Magic Bali kratom is my all time favorite. I wanna try the train wreck one I bet it amazing Read More Read Less

I take kratom in low doses of 0.5 to 1 gm once or twice a day for IBS-D and only during a flare. It's the most effective remedy I've ever found. I follow a low-fodmap diet every day but I still get a flare a few times a year despite everything else I do for prevention. IBS can be triggered by stress and anxiety and it can also cause it to flare. It's a vicious cycle. My flares and these other symptoms abate very, very quickly with only a small dose a couple times a day for a few or more days, but I am very sensitive to all medications and supplements. I love kratom for helping me endure my IBS life. I plan to always use it at the lowest effective dose and only as needed. I wish my alcoholic father had lived long enough for me to tell him about this wonderful herbal remedy. Read More Read Less

I am opiate user and was going through withdrawal very bad . I took ten pills of the train wreck and felt real good about ten minutes later . I don't suggest doing as much I did but it took every symptom away and Gabe me energy. Thanks to kratom I'm not sick and don't have any cravings.

Diagnosed w brain tumor. This is the only thing I take. I'm able to walk talk drive. Without it I'm not even able to get out of bed. Life changer for me!! 3 years. I couldn't walk 30 ft before.

WARNING!!! While kratom helped ease anxiety and the chronic pain from a severe neck fracture, I was not informed nor prepared about the addictive properties of this "supplement". I have previously gone through opiate withdrawal when I decided to stop taking doctor prescribed opiates for the pain suffered from my neck injury. Kratom seemed like a safe alternative. However, the financial burden of using kratom as an alternative to opiate therapy forced me to cut back. This immediately threw me into severe withdrawals that were far worse than that experienced when discontinuing morphine. I experienced horrific vomiting, anxiety, sweats and chills, and total inability to sleep for over a week. I ended up hospitalized for 3 days to stabilize my body. I recommend completely avoiding kratom. The risks of addiction to this substance far outweighs any benefits. This product should be banned. Read More Read Less

I used powdered kratom orally for 2+ years to pain help tolerate pain. For Me, the effectiveness diminished eventually. I did not experience withdrawal symptoms or cravings when I stopped using it. My experience was very different when I used concentrated liquid Kratom extracts for too many consecutive days. I would compare that to heroin withdrawal.
