User Reviews for kratom

Kratom is the only thing that has helped my fatigue that I have been fighting for over 10 years. I have been using Kratom for about 2 years with very few side affects (my fibro makes my body react to things weirdly) and no addiction or withdraws. I take powdered white Kratom as a tea latte (a few grams of powdered kratom, agave, a cup of hot water, and a cup pf milk). It is affective for about 3 hours.

Im 41 and I've been a chronic opioid abuser since i was 19. In and out of rehabs, overdosed 4 times and the last one put me in a coma for almost a month. When i discovered Kratom i was able to finally be free. I would be dead today without it. It doesn't make you high, it relieves my anxiety and lifts my mood. Kratom saved my life, its a wonder plant!

Kratom use depends ot on the person using it. Kratom can be beneficial for many people & for me it helos my mood & energy levels & pain relief & I get little to no withdrawals but as a recovering addict I do respect the plant. There are those that don't & pay the price. It does have abuse potential & there are those that do & end up in quitting Kratom groups. Bottom line is to thine own self be true & respect the plant & its a wonderful tool to help with lots of different stuff. If your looking to get high this ain't gonna be what you are looking for which is why some end up back on drugs after beingless than satisfied lookingfor a high....as I said be true to yourself.

Incredible natural remedy. I find it works best when I only use it once per week so I save it for socializing on Saturdays.

I have chronic pain in my right hip, right knee, right ankle, lower back and right shoulder. Nothing has helped to ease the pain. I have had multiple surgeries with no relief. Kratom has helped me tremendously. It eases the pain to a manageable level without the side effects you can receive from opioid medication. I never took opioids often as I was scared of becoming addicted. Kratom I take daily and I have stopped taking it for weeks at a time when the pain isn’t too bad without any withdrawal or feeling like I needed it. If you have a chronic pain condition, give it a try. Read More Read Less

For 12 years, I was taking RX meds and was bedridden. Four years ago, I found kratom. It's changed my life for the better. I won't take rx pain meds again.

Kratom saved my life, was on opiates for over ten years and quit helpin pain and more of I had to have to operate,than I heard about and than tried it and got me off pain pills and alot better life and yes you can say you trade one for the other but the difference is, it dont get you high and truly makes life better, and can easily stop with minor side effects, this truly is a life saver and how many of you take a daily supplement thinkin its good for you,so their is no difference,because it helps with my anxiety as well, I only have to take katrom daily and 51 and healthy besides a bad back.Read More Read Less

After numerous surgeries and being on oxycodone for 2.5 years, I weaned myself off as my pain decreased. I was able to use Tylenol and kratom together with the same effectiveness as opiates. I will have to have another surgery soon, and my pain is again getting worse. I would barely be moving if not for kratom. I take it every morning just so I can walk around. It is more effective than Tylenol and advil combined for me. I have also been able to replace benzodiazapines that I take for an anxiety disorder about 1/3 of the time. It isn't quite as effective as xanax, but it makes a big difference and is often enough to get through my day without a need for xanax.Read More Read Less

I have fibromyelgia. This has been the only treatment to give me any relief. Red for pain. Green for mood. And white for energy. Its like God gave us the perfect medicine for this disease. Im so thankful I found Kratom.

This stuff blows benzodiazepines out of the water! I can function normally and don’t have any anxiety! I LOVE kratom and everything is has done for my life! I was turning into a recluse but now I have a full life again

I have been using kratom for over a decade with zero adverse reactions, and without it I would be using big pharma poisonous and deadly prescription pills.

Has a relaxing/calming benefit without causing sleepiness. But lve also found strains to help with my insomnia. Kratom beats prescription drugs ANY day and thats why big pharma fights it.

After one back surgery to free my now damaged sciatic nerve, I went from 1 herniated disc to at least 3, it's been years since I have had an MRI to check. I was on Hydrocodone for over 3 years before the war on opiates made it basically impossible for a male in his 30's to get any help. Surgical consults said no option was available. Kratom is nowhere near as potent as even just Hydrocodone, but it is the most helpful option available. It is just enough to keep me working from home at reduced hours instead of basically being bed ridden. Kratom just like any substance that breaks the blood brain barrier can cause unpleasant effects when quitting but it's no where near as bad as even medications you see advertised on TV daily. I have taken breaks from time to time or missed a dose and barely notice it aside from experiencing the full weight of the pain I live with. Banning Kratom would be a horrible mistake and just exacerbate the already cruel punishment of people suffering from chronic pain.Read More Read Less

I originally started using kratom for IBS-D, then discovered how much it also helped the anxiety...which can trigger my IBS. Kratom has been a God sent miracle plant for me. I make a tea with it at night, which helps me sleep and controls my IBS the next morning. If I have a stressful day, I have a cup to help calm me down. I can't imagine life without it again.

Works better on my fibromyalgia than any prescription drug my drs have tried. Also helps with fatigue elements.

I've found Kratom to be highly beneficial for both pain control & related insomnia. It's definitely not as potent as pharmaceutical opioids & that may be positive or negative depending on your POV. The taste isn't all that bad despite what many claim. Kratom simply has a strong plant-like, organic taste. And you might read some of the comments from people claiming how dangerous Kratom is. Well, it's not as long as you use it in moderation, like anything else. And the claims of it being deadly are totally absurd & incorrect. There is no known cases of any deaths DIRECTLY linked to Kratom. In the small number of deaths where Kratom was found post-mortem, EVERY case had multiple other substances involved, including benzodiazepines & other opioids. Kratom is NOT an opioid.Read More Read Less
