User Reviews for kratom

Extremely effective for short term pain, depression and anxiety. Stay with low doses under 5gpd, it is addictive and anyone saying otherwise is just lying. It will take your personality and energy away if you take it more than a couple months, withdrawal is like a combo of ssri, opioid, and stimulant withdrawal. It is hell to get off of but it works great. Stay safe and don’t take extracts. If you are going from Rx medication to kratom then it’ll be alright but don’t start it for mood. It causes downregulation of endogenous opioid production as well as dopamine and serotonin production, which leads to severe lack of pleasure. Read More Read Less

Absolutely amazing. It has replaced all meds. Big Pharma hates it. There's a lot of misinformation going around from a particular group that has posted in here over and over and over as different people. Don't fall for the lies. The Federal KCPA has been introduced and must pass. The lies surrounding this amazing botanical are ridiculous! #KeepKratomLegal

Found in 2011 for pain in lieu of OTC meds that were destroying my organs. 12 years later and I am the healthiest I've ever been at 51. The Federal KCPA needs to be passed. This will guarantee safety. We must keep it legal for the 16 million Americans consuming it daily for wellness.

I have taken Kratom tea leaf powder since October 2013. It helps control my pain better than anything else. Also the other claims of causing hallucinations, breathing problems, etc are bold faced lies. It is one of the safest pain remedies I ever used. It is also never been addictive for me in all these years. The Kratom plant is in the same family as the coffee plant, so there is that. Not dangerous. I would avoid vape shop concentrate versions though due to added chemicals that may be harmful, even though Kratom itself is not harmful from my experience of 10 years use.Read More Read Less

Kratom has saved my life and my mother my father and my son. I almost died from alcohol. If it wasn’t for kratom I would be died. So please stop putting false information on the site. This tree leaf saves lives.

I was on methadone from 1988 to 2008 .. kratom has helped me stay free from hard core pharmaceuticals . my quality of life is so much better now. there is alot of wrong information here .

The benefits I get from ktatom are better relief from my chronic pain due to degenerative disks disease, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I started kratom 4 years ago because our health care system became destroyed by government over reach. The CDC, DEA FDA and othe agencies decided that they new how to treat each patient better than our Doctors did. It was easier to encarcerate Doctors than to address the illegal drugs killing people. Kratom has never caused me any depressed respiratory function, chest or heart issues. I've not ever been "high" or suffered dependency from kratom like I did while I was on prescription opioid therapy. It helps with my RA fatigue and anxiety. I'm can't say enough postive about this natural snd safe plant. This article is laced with mighty and msybe's . This is not a scientific article its a propaganda scare tactic for big pharmaceutical companies and our now cartel government..Read More Read Less

I am a severe chronic pain sufferer. Kratom positively changed my life for the better. It is the only thing that has stopped my pain. It is not an opioid. So many things in your article are incorrect. It positively does not cause respiratory depression. I have used it responsibly for many years. Most of us who use kratom are over 35 and educated. It allows us to lead productive lives. We work and contribute to society. I would love it if people used facts instead of the lies spread by the FDA. There are many medical studies that have been done on kratom. Did you research any of them? I think not.Read More Read Less

I have taken the leaf for over 16 years and daily since 2011. It works better than any prescribed medication with far less side effects. If I chose to not take this leaf for a few days all I have to contend with is the pain, no withdrawal. I am much more active and enjoy a much nicer quality of life.

I have been using kratom to replace my prescribed opioid pain medication and it works great with the only side effect being my pain comes back if I don't take it! I stopped prescription medication over 6 years ago and have no regrets, as a matter of fact I would never go back to using them.

I’ve been taking kratom SAFELY for the last 5 years, as of 10/28/2018. It alleviates my pain and anxiety, and it gives me energy NATURALLY. Prescription drugs nearly killed me, literally. I have life threatening epilepsy. Kratom has never triggered any seizures, but pills have MANY times! Kratom (and the Good Lord) set me free and saved my life ??

Following a job that was very rough on my body found myself with chronic pain in my joints and in my back. At the time the initial solution was NSAID pain relievers which was no longer an option after another medical issue requiring me to go on blood thinner. Then the only viable option initially was opioid pain relievers but they only masked the pain and left me in a constant Haze. But it didn't eliminate the pain completely. Once I discovered Kratom taking it in therapeutic doses of four capsules twice a day morning and night in warm weather and six capsules twice a day morning and night in cold weather have allowed me to live a normal functional productive life. When I was stuck on opioid pain relievers I was barely functional and I was not very productive. Some people on here may be bad-mouthing kratom, but the Kratom literally saved my life. My wife has similar issues for other reasons and Kratom has been the only thing that has substantially helped her.Read More Read Less

This supplement has helped my mental and physical well-being more than any pharmaceutical I've ever been prescribed and there's been a lot. The only negative is constantly having to fight misinformation about it and fear traveling because of the states and towns that have banned it without proper research. By the way, I've taken it with low dose Seroquel for years without negative side effects as warned on this article

Found this amazing plant looking for alternatives to pain killers and withdrawal tools. It is incredible for opiate withdrawal and can get you off of those horribly addicting pills. When used responsibly, it can change your life. I love the mood boosting effects which helps anxiety and depression type symptoms. Kratom helps many people live a better life.

Kratom has changed my life got me back to work and able to deal with pain, anxiety and depression. I was able to get off about 14 prescriptions. I take nothing but this supplement. I probably wouldn't be here if I hadn't of found Kratom.

I found kratom over 4 years ago when traditional medical treatment failed me. RN since ‘85 and started looking for alternatives because I wasn’t able to function. I got a little bag of red powder and started with just 1/4 level tsp in herbal tea. Wasn’t long I started feeling better and my physician agreed to wean me off several medications. Within 6 weeks I knew it was the answer. I then weaned off my spinal cord stimulator and only use kratom for chronic spinal nerve issues with muscle spasms and arthritis. All my physicians support me including my pain doctor. I share my experience with anyone that is suffering. I joined the AKA and keep up with the scientific studies. Mother Nature had so much to offer. Read More Read Less

I stumbled across Kratom in 2016 looking for an alternative to pain meds for severe arthritis in my back. Kratom has literally changed my life! I am active again and my mind is clear. I was also able to go off anti-depressants (that stopped working) as this has helped my anxiety tremendously.

I am a patient with atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia (extreme, constant, burning facial pain). I cycled through dozens of meds, brain surgery, an implanted facial nerve stimulator, etc. I even tried cannabis, which actually made my symptoms worse. I tried Kratom and was blown away. 7 years later I take this plant supplement daily. It brings my pain to livable levels without the dreaded high or drugged feeling. It helps me feel more normal! Without Kratom I would not be able to work, volunteer, play my flute and just live life! It’s not a cure and it may not work for everyone. It must be respected like anything else we put in our bodies. This plant must be protected so pain sufferers like me who take Kratom can live life and focus on things other than pain!

Thanks to kratom I was able to quit drinking alcohol. Now I can enjoy myself out at a show and gets home safely with no worries. As a veteran, I occasionally consume kratom to help with my anxiety from ptsd symptoms. Grateful for this plant!

7 years of use when necessary has helped me tremendously. No more prescription pain medication after 20 years of use and I use 20% of my original portion size from 7 years ago, that never happened with prescription drugs. I'm off of Lyrica too. I use plain leaf but have used extracts for severe pain like fractured ribs instead of medication. It didn't work quite as well as oxycodone but got me thru a month of pain I can't forget. Sorry Big pHARMa, you've got a bad rap and it's only getting worse. Anyone claiming to be addicted to kratom is using it irresponsibly or is using adulterated product. I recommend joining a few groups with members who are knowledgeable and have respect for all plants and medications alike, meaning doing research and looking at all pros and cons.Read More Read Less
