Kratom has been a game changer for me. I’ve completely stopped drinking alcohol and have zero depression and anxiety.

Just wanted to say kratom helped me quit a 12 year methadone addiction👊👊👊👊

Kratom took the needle out of my arm

I found a simple way of stopping taking kratom after taking it three times a day for a year after my failed back surgery. I simply did what all doctors tell you to do when getting off any medication. I weaned over a period of a month taking a little less every day, then every other day. I had almost no withdrawal symptoms. Now I take it on days when my body hurts...I’m almost 70 and things sure hurt as you age. It’s great for pain, anxiety, depression and motivation so using it twice a week or so has been perfect. Even when quitting coffee you have to wean or you get a horrible headache...it’s no different.

Kratom gave me and my wife a LIFE again 7 years clean

Discovered kratom when the local adult shop had a sign "we have Kratom".. this is now the first time I've been voluntarily alcohol-free for more than a week in like 5 years

I was a recreational user for years. Oxy, hydro, just prescription pills mostly. One day my buddy hit me up and told me he snagged some perc 30s, I told him I wanted to buy a few and we met up, after blasting a half up my nose and instantly becoming so uncomfortably high, I started throwing up out of panic then I lost consciousness. Woke up feeling super euphoric. Idk how long I was out but for some reason it didn’t bother me, probably because I was the highest I’d ever been. Anyway so turns out they were Mexican fentanyl fake M30s. But I didn’t even know about those until I had been doing 1 or 2 of them a day. By that point I was physically dependent. When I learned what they were I decided to stop it all together. Cuz I’m not trying to OD and die. Well that’s when I learned about withdrawal. Oh my lord. I’ve been through some extremely difficult situations in the military but never have I experienced something so mind bending-ly horrible. Physically sick, emotionally destroyed.. a very real sense of hopelessness it was then I realized that I was in-fact a full blown drug addict. I reached out to some close friends and told them what I had done and one of them suggested Kratom. And I’ll tell you what. I’m not sure if I could have stayed strong enough to go through that withdrawal without relapsing. But Kratom literally saved my life.

As I'm reading comments about "I have been clean for X amount of time from X drug/alcohol"....I just wanted to add congratulations! Even if it is just a day sober, WAY TO GO!! As an opiate addict of 7 years, with 3 months completely off fentanyl with the help of kratom, I know exactly how hard it is to get and stay clean. I applaud every single one of you!!! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏

Kratom is helping me through side effects from cancer treatment!

I would rather kick Kratom a hundred times then methadone once it took me years to get off that roller coaster Kratom is by far the Lesser of the evils

Been taking kratom almost daily for 8 years. Only recently gave up heroin and pills (6 months) kratom helps. But the true change comes from within.

Everyone has the same addiction to coffee. Does Starbucks warn you about that latte? Getting off caffeine is hard as hell too. But caffeine has a place. And so does kratom.

I have extreme anxiety and the dr keep upping my Xanax almost to 6 mgs a day. I’ve been using Kratom for two weeks and already have been using less Xanax

Kratom is one of the most amazing plants in the world.

Never pre apologize for what turned out to be a really informative and well balanced delivery of information. You did a great job and I got a lot out of it Thanks so much 🙏🏼

Kratom helped me quit a 10 yr heroin habit .... I’ve been on Kratom for a year now and I’m on a slow taper plan that will have me completely off of it by April 2020 . Take the taper slow and easy , the PTSD from opioid withdrawals will mess with your head and also the physical aspect but it is doable .

The government or no one should be able to take away ANY kind of natural plant or veggie! This stuff is for all of us! It's just not for them to decide!

KRATOM saved me from a 14 year drug addiction

My story is the same as yours, almost . I've been on and off kratom for 15 years and you said everything best, totally matches me. I wish I could talk with you more about it. Thanks for the content!! I go by Rick and it's nice to connect with you on this subject.

I’m so glad that you made the time to make this! I wish I had seen this video before I started taking it a little over a year ago. I am on day 4 Kratom free- the last three days were pretty rough, though I have experienced heroin withdrawals before so definitely would rather go through these then those! For me, I’m just going to be wary before I take anything you need to wean yourself off from. Always do some intense research before taking an unknown substance people! Thanks so much for sharing!

Check out my newest video! I share my favorite brands of kratom and reputable places to purshcase it. Stay tuned for trying reviews and dosing info! Please leave any questions you have on any video in my comments!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLN6gsJ7y7_blac.html

Please read carefully what I'm about to say. I've been studying pharmacy and psychopharmacology for 20 years now. I'm a sort of a drug nerd and see myself as a psychopharmacology enthusiast. I have at least tried every common substance, pharmaceutical and illicit, and took at least one substance from every drug group in existance. So I wanted to say that I just can't understand how people still don't get the fact that there isn't such thing as a non-addictive psychoactive drug. Even the filthiest drugs with zero abuse potential like Thorazine or Haldol will produce withdrawal syndrome upon cessation of a long term use. And if the substance is in any way pleasurable, or it helps you get rid of some negative stuff like pain or discomfort, or it helps you psychologically, the withdrawal will be that much worse. Try to understand that our body is a living organism which struggles to maintain its natural state (homeostasis) by default, and when you take a substance that induces changes in your body's chemistry and functioning, it will fight back trying to cancel out those changes. The longer you take the substance, the better and more efficient your body is at resisting its effects by the compensatory mechanisms. That is called tolerance. And when you stop ingesting your substance after long term daily use, those compensatory mechanisms are left unopposed by the drug and they are essentially the exact opposite of the effects that your substance produced. That is called withdrawal. And that's it. Be it kratom, heroin, Zoloft, Xanax, coffee, cigarettes, Ritalin, Abilify, booze, Depakine, cannabis, Valium, cocaine, Lyrica, Wellbutrin...it doesn't matter. They all produce chemical changes in the brain. Use any of them or any other for prolonged time and you will develop tolerance, addiction and/or dependence. And if you quit, you will INEVITABLY have withdrawal symptoms. Which are in general opposite of everything that your drug of choice did to you. You can somewhat avoid this by constantly changing and rotating substances, making sure that the new substance has pharmacologically nothing in common with the previous one, and that it doesn't hit the same receptors in your brain. But to do that you really have to be knowledgeable and creative in the psychopharmacology and even then you're not completely safe. In fact, "Big Pharma" is practically inventing new ways to cheat the inbuilt defensive mechanisms of our bodies with each new drug all the time. Same thing with street drugs. And the natural ones aren't the exception either. Always the same, universal rule with every prolonged drug use- starting, habituation, tolerance, dose escalation, more tolerance, addiction, dependence, withdrawal... As Isaac Newton has said, every action has it's equal and opposite reaction. This rule applies perfectly in the biochemistry of drug dependence. I hope that this simple information will help people to be cautious and to treat psychotropic substances with respect they deserve and with responsibility for their health.

it helped so much in relieving my anxiety coming off meth. it's a good thing to sometimes turn to, but aware of the consequences, i try to only use it when i really need to. also introduced a rotation of other mood-boosting activities to do some days instead, like exercise, dancing, reading, activities with friends. that way, i just drink it once a week or so when i'm staying in, doing chores, etc. helps me ease into monotonous days. p.s.: stay safe and keep fighting your demons! i'm very proud of you and you're doing just fine!!! ❤❤

I started taking Kratom Late in 2018 and I wished I would have known of your journey then. My experience began with an extensive amount of education from my good friend who is a Kratom distributor. I knew exactly the best way to take it and what to expect. I also knew about the habit forming affects it can have and how to mitigate those symptoms. Even Making it the way you are supposed to it still tasted like a cross between lawn clippings and a wet teabag. But when I took the Green it was Just enough energy with out feeling a tweaked out. And enough of a pain reliever to keep going with out passing or tripping out. Which any of my prescription pain meds had a tendency to do. The Red, which I really didn't take all that often, allowed me to relax and NATURALLY drift off to sleep and get a solid 6-8 hours. And wake up not feeling all groggy like I do with even over the counter sleep meds. For me it was also physical pain. I was 54 when I started Kratom and at the time I was working at the VA hospital in St. Peters burg FL. as a Operating Room Sterilization Technician. The work was good But it got to be hard and fast paced. Vary exacting and specific. As well as physically and mentally draining. But I definitely do empathize with you when it comes to the lack of real experience with taking Kratom both positive and negative. Or at least how it is to not know where to get reliable information. I can also Identify with the whole social anxiety and how Kratom helped you to be less nervous and more sociable. Good for you sweetheart. Not for taking something to be 'more normal' but for being willing to try a naturally concurring supplement in order to "ease the burden' of being in a unfamiliar and draining environment. I get it. And thank you also for being so supportive of your husband during this very difficult time for him trying to get off drugs. In my experience with drug and alcohol recovery I can tell you nothing beats the healing power of love. if we, they, have the capacity to let it in. I know it is or has been difficult for you. I pray for both you and your husband to find reprieve. I know that this video was recorded a while ago and that you have most likely moved on to other things. But I would like to hear back from you soon if you have the chance. Just to see how your doing. Best Wishes

Going on 3 years taking Kratom, it's been a Godsend.

You are correct but it's not addiction swapping as much as it's called harm reduction and something we in the United States need to start thinking more about as ways to help people who like to take things throughout the day. Absolutely nothing wrong with ingesting something throughout the day to make yourself feel better, that's what antidepressants do along with numerous other substances . We only live once some people want to experience more pleasure while they're here and they should be have that option as long as you're not hurting no one

I honestly only had the strength to stop taking xanax (alprazolam) after 15 long years thanks to kratom. I am aware kratom can also be heavy if one misuses it, but if you take it responsibly it can literraly save your life, it did mine. I'm not gonna lie at first I started taking large doses way too frequent but I realized it was because i was going through the xanax withdrawal and I started cutting down alot. I now only take it every now and then when I absolutely feel like relaxing but I finally dont depend on anything and that honestly feels so good it's a big deal for me I love not having to rely on a substance. I give alot of thanks to my kratom I know for a fact I would've been in a bigger hole right now because of those demonic xanax....

Been taking kratom everyday for about 2 years, really changed my life, helped me to get over my addiction to alcohol and pills. Would recommend 10/10

I was an alcoholic in the worst way. From the moment I woke up to the time I passed out. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Kratom helped me tremendously

Honestly this stuff mixed with Coffee is what gets me through a lot of very busy and stressful work days

Thank you Jahlen. Just wanted to say that my kratom withdrawal was horrible. It was just as bad as quitting my 8 pill a day Percocet habit. Finally i went out and bought some Gaba from Walmart (supplement) and some ashwaghanda (supplement) and it relieved me. I used kratom every day for three years. Be real careful guys and congratulations to all the people who got off heroin and pain pills!

I see the withdrawals kind of like a withdrawal from coffee you’d be surprised how someone who drinks it everyday can respond a day without it

After 3 surgeries and getting hooked and dependent on opioids was hell. I do suffer from chronic pancreatitis but guess what, the VA cut me off and went through a week of hell. Kratom saved my life. I have not touched an opioid in 6 months.

I've been a lifelong introvert and empath. I'm a constant thinker and filled with anxiety. I tried regular medication and was overwhelmed with side effects. One of the meds made my arm go completely numb for over a week, not to mention the sexual side effects. I actually do not think my sexual fervor has ever completely recovered. Kratom changed everything for me. I was able to break through the social anxiety and clear my head enough to think and focus. It made many things easier for me. As far as withdrawals it is no different from anything else. Using harder drugs, FDA approved meds, and even alcohol will have withdrawal symptoms if you are a daily user of them. Even coffee comes with a ridiculously painful migraine if I go too long without it. I'd rather enjoy the benefits and pros of kratom than worry about the very few cons when it comes to them. Unless someone can point me in the direction of something more effective I will continue to use it. Thank you for making this video.

as someone who was also told misinformation by numerous ppl, even entire groups, and blindsided by serious dependency: good for you. doing good work. you've spared many, I'm sure.

Kratom got me off of Suboxone. I cut withdrawal symptoms by 3/4. But I agree it’s not super easy to quit either but I’ll take the very mild withdrawal from Kratom over opiate withdrawal any day.

Be careful y’all. After 4 to 5 years of non stop use, during which I got the effects I liked mostly, kratom turned on me. When I first took it I had zero anxiety and my performance was astoundingly good. Now I’m skittish, anxious, have poor memory, brain fog, and have had a myriad of other terrible health side effects. I was taking between 60-100grams per day for 3-4 years. I’ve been trying to taper for 2 years. I’ve finally made some progress and am down to 20grams per day. But I still have awful symptoms. The kratom often doesn’t work to alleviate my symptoms, sometimes it makes them worse. But the withdrawals are hell… since starting kratom I went from a druggy couch surfing thief to being a college graduate, educator, and holding down adult responsibility fairly well. So I have gratitude for that, but I need to rid myself of this stuff, it is currently ruining my quality of life.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess it's different for everyone's body. I'm definitely psychologically hooked on the stuff, but not physically addicted, and I do use it every day when it's available. But, occasionally I've times where I ran out and couldn't get any more for a few days, and I can't honestly say I felt any withdrawals. It really sucked not having it, as far as my mental state went, but physically my body felt fine without it. On the other hand though, coffee, for me, is wayyyyy the hell more physically addictive than kratom is. I have coffee several times every day usually, and if I go even so much as 24 hours without it, I feel like shit. So I guess everything is different for everyone. That's simply my experience, and I figured I'd share. I'm glad you shared yours as well, because for a lot of folks it certainly is addictive, and it's good for them to know if that possibility ahead of time. By the way, I think you're quite gorgeous 🙂

I've been on Suboxone for a few years now to kick opiates. I'm a recovering addict /alcoholic and recently purchased Kratom in hopes to get off the "subs" which are literally KILLING me. So glad to come across this video, thank you!

Kratom saves lives!

One of the most on point accounts I've seen. Misinformation runs deep in both directions. Everyone that's considering trying it should watch this. Thanks for putting this out there.

I personally have never experienced even mild WD from kratom. I've used kratom for 2 or 3 years I order 7 oz at a time 4-8 grams a day then a 2 week tolerance break in between ordering more. I believe a short break every 2 months of so seems to be the sweet spot for avoiding WD for me at least

Hey guys!! I’ve gotten so many questions on types of kratom, how it works, how much to take etc so I’ll be filming a video soon with a ton of different brands from a very consumer friendly & safe company! I’m at a point in my life where I can respect things like kratom and I’m excited to share it with you 🥰💖

I'm 23 and I've been taking kratom almost every day since January 2018! I dont share this with many people because some look down on me for this. I have bad anxiety since having my kids at 19 and 20 and since I found kratom my life has been so much better! I'm so thankful nick shared your video. I'm glad I found you. I feel like I can really relate to you ❤

Been taking Kratom for 3 months now. Decided to try it after being addicted to pills for 5 years. Haven't touched any pain pills for these past 3 months. I also have tons of extra money because kratom is so much cheaper. I actually feel normal again. I absolutely feel like kratom saved me.

I have been utilizing Kratom since I started treatments 4(ish) years ago. I’ve had strange symptoms doctors couldn’t figure out. I didn’t know about the withdrawals and I can’t thank you enough for opening up. I also have ovarian cyst, and that’s painful. I don’t take it everyday but you have explained why I’m having these symptoms. I don’t have an additive personality so it hadn’t crossed my mind. Thank you so very much for your help. Hugs from Missouri

Thought provoking. Thank you for sharing your experience with it. I am a Kratom user. I use it for pain first and foremost, arthritis. Before I retired I used it to help me concentrate on tedious tasks. It helped my concentration level. It’s always good to hear different opinions and experiences. It also has helped reduce my alcohol consumption a great deal.

I was a recovering addict of 16 years I blew an inheritance of 100 grand two years ago . I left North Carolina on a greyhound with my last bag of dope January 3rd I came to keywest got clean and used kratom and not only am I clean but I now work three jobs, manage one, I have changed my whole life in the deepest of ways, I’m starting public speaking classes to go so motivational speaking and to help with kratom info to the masses. It literally not only made me ok but it made me the best version of me I’ll gladly eat some dried plant leaf until death to love this life! The drive it gives me is like al the perks of aderall without the whole meth side effects lol. I literally was shooting dope and coke in my palms just 7 months ago had no veins and Shot 20 plus times a day. Haven’t touched a needle or waned to since. Also have made the most healthiest Decioms on my life began traveling the globe and Have literally taken my life back and become Someone I couldn’t have dreamt on my best day of even hanging around much less being that person. I have become an inspiration to all my friends . Thank you kratom

I remember when I quit kratom the first couple weeks were rough. I got through it by taking CBD and drinking a few beers everyday. It really kept me sane. I was having horrible withdrawals from kratom. After a few weeks I noticed how I was returning to normal and the fog in my head began to clear up. I will never touch that garbage again. It's been 2 years since I've taken it

The hard thing about kratom and benzos for people with mental health issues is that they make you feel the way you think you're supposed to feel (free of anxiety, depression etc). This for me is why they're so much more addictive than alcohol or hard drugs

I've taken kratom 3 times a day for 3 years and I dont plan to stop! EVER! I started taking it for arthritis in my knees, well I noticed how it helped my mental health issues. I'm off all 4 psych meds with only harder stools as a side effect which I take for it and I'm good. So if I'm addicted. SO WHAT!!! Kratom has changed my life for the better!!!

I love this stuff along with cbd. Would rather take this than un natural substances. It helps with mood swings, depression and anxiety so much.

Kratom is like any other drug- you have to taper off it. If you taper, there are no issues (this is from personal experience).

I started taking kratom when I was going through crazy alcohol withdrawals after being a heavy alcoholic for almost 2 years. It completely negated all the withdrawal symptoms and I was able to stay off alcohol indefinitely. Eventually I stopped using kratom too, but then I started using kratom again for treating depression/anxiety, which works amazingly for me. It doesnt make me feel high or stoned, or any kind of druggy way, which is nice. Just normal, clear headed and content. But now if I dont take kratom first thing in the morning I get super depressed and anxious throughout the day and I know I need to get off kratom because I've been taking it daily for a year now and I know its probably taking a toll on my physical health. Not nearly as bad as alcohol, but still

Kratom has helped my ADHD as well as my anxiety regarding my divorce from a covert narcissist (13 year marriage). I've stopped taking it many times because I ran out. I've never had withdraws, I've never had a feening need that made me scared, anxious or cause anger. I researched before I took it, I had friends who had been on this brand for over a year (*not cheap. Imperial Cloud Nine Kratom blend). I have never had shakes getting off of it or any other withdraw issues. Maybe because I'm a happy person in general, Kratom simply made me relax but have a boost of energy, helped me focus and boosted my already general feelings of well being. Also helped with sleep ☺️ I've heard cheap versions of Kratom can have issues. Just make sure if you try it to get a quality product 👍🏻 Powder is way better than pills. By FAR. Mix it with a juice shot and throw it down. (Juice shot meaning cranberry juice or orange juice b/c it tastes like a bitter tea ☺️ NOT an alcoholic shot) ADHD testimony with Kratom: Before I tried Kratom I was trying to learn the Ukulele. I would be trying to play a song from chord charts online but every time I'd look away from the screen to the fret board I'd FORGET THE CHORD! It made it impossible for me to play thru a song. The day I took K for the first time I was playing the Uke and when it kicked in it's like the synapses in my brain finally were able to connect and I was able to remember chords in order to play through a song!!! It's worth trying and it's natural. Just buy quality and get the powder, not capsules. Capsules seem cheaper but it's not. I order mine from a shop called the Kushi Bazaar in Ft Mill, SC. ❤️👍🏻

hi im from malaysia. my friend just suffer the leptospirosis fever and warded in hospital for a month. at the end of the month the doctor just tell his family to take him out from hospital bcoz there is no chance for leptospirosis patient can cure so his family take him home and try another alternative but the result is still same. one day i just told by this uncle (around age 70) that stay near the neighbourhood to try drink boiled kratom leave or ketum (local call) for my suffered friend. i dont know what to say but after a few days drink about 3 full of glass for 2 days continously the fever is slowly going down and start sweating. he also can get up and take a bath by himself . and a day later i think he is free from leptospirosis bcoz he can do his activity like normal just like before. he go to hospital to check his health and guess what the doctor says his body is free from leptospirosis 100%.. its up to u to believe. just my sharing

Thank you so much for this video!! You explain everything perfectly!! I'm coming off of a 14-year dope addiction so every single thing you said hit the nail on the head.

Wow im happy you were able to talk about this. Ive been on and off heroin for a couple years. I did take kratom to stop for my last run (hopefully) but you are right. Yeah i felt great taking kratom but it just didnt stop. I knew it was time to stop and im only on my first night but i really dont want to take it or anything else anymore. Im so tired of it. Thanks for sharing i hope your strength keeps you at bay. Wish me luck ❤️

A combination of THC/CBD and kratom have change me entirely. I used to be so lively and I got into a really dark place, even without regularly using both now it helped me be me again. A complete change.

I have end stage Papillary Carcinoma that has spread to my brain and lungs. I have been offered morphine..but no, Kratom serves me well. Blessings to all.

Thanks for sharing your story. My brother came across this stuff this week as an aid for opiate withdrawal so your info will def help, as I hope that it helps others just to stay away from it if they have an addictive personality. I hope that all is good with you and your family. Hugs.

Anything is addictive. Moderation is key.

Just a tip guys...if you take Kratom...use DL-Phenylalanine in between...or even if you are quitting...the withdrawals are almost non-existent. It's a fantastic natural tool for many things but USE DL-PHENYLALAINE. It's an amino acid supplement which produces serotonin and dopamine receptors in the brain ;) Much love x

Unfortunately, the ‘alternative’ pronunciation is technically correct. But let’s all agree that “kray-tum” is a waaaaay better way to say it than “KRA-tom”

I did it daily for almost 2 years. It was great while it lasted but I had to quit. The quiting part of pretty crappy but not too crazy. I don't have any negatives opinions about Kratom if used responsibly. In reality it is pretty addictive but withdrawal for me was manageable. Not much worst then coffee.

Kratom changed my life in a very profound way, and it aided me in getting off alcohol, which I was addicted to for about a year.

Kratom got me off Mayonnaise!!!

Ive been taking kratom for a year as well, once year sober from meth, pills, and alcohol

I take kratom everyday like 4-6 times a day. In my experience, I'm able to think more clearly and I have more energy with kratom than I ever got from suboxone. Suboxone made me feel like a zombie and I didn't even realize it until I stopped taking it. (Update) Well, it's been like 2 years and I'm still using kratom, but I have noticed that my libido is lower and I seemed to be slightly depressed all the time. My anxiety has been more prevalent lately too. I think kratom can be a good alternative substance if you have to take some sort of pain reliever, but if you're just using it to feel good or to be high, I wouldn't suggest it. If you're using it to get off of opiates or suboxone or methadone or something, make sure you have a plan set up and someone to hold you accountable to that plan. It's very easy for an addict to justify using kratom because it's natural. If I could go back I would have stopped using it after 2 months. I wouldn't have kept taking it. So now I have to withdrawal and it's going to suck. Wish me luck!

Very unbiased and informative. I did Kratom for a while. It felt amazing, but my liver started hurting almost what you would think a kidney stone would feel like, and I was only taking one teaspoon per day. Withdraws like runny nose and depression are abound to happen.

I take it daily due to fibromyalgia pain it’s way better then popping pain meds daily

Kratom has helped me from pain, depression/anxiety! I've been taking Kratom for over a year now. I was taking pain meds for my back. I went to a store and told these guys that I wanted to get off the pain meds and they introduced me to Kratom! Kratom has saved my life! I take Kratom on a daily basis and it truly helps me throughout my day! I seriously stay energized and focused at work and get things done! My husband was skeptical at first but now he's loving it too! I love Kratom! Thank you for posting this. I'm reading everyone's comments and I'm happy for all of you! Kratom will be apart of our lives forever! 💖

Kratom has gotten me through my boring ass job without driving my face through my desk . And the pain relief is awesome too i also use to drink a liter of whisky every 3 days.. i was able to drop alcohol cold turkey havent had a craving for alcohol in almost a year.

Never TMI. 😊 You’re the first one that I came across that explained it to where I feel more informed about it. I took my first capsule not too long ago. Maybe 2 hours ago. The package said take 2 capsules, but I was afraid too. Thank you!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾😊

Awesome video! I take kratom cuz I'm a ex heroin addict and have severe anxiety and also ovarian cysts so I feel u. I'm so glad u hit on every point, negative and positive! Everyone must do there research and do what's right for them! Great vid!

ALERT- Long Long comment- Apologizing in advance 😂 7 years I spent a SLAVE to Xanax😢. It was the worst most painful hell I’ve ever been through😭. I wish I had known about Kratom when I went through cold turkey withdrawals!🥺Would have helped a ton. However I found Kratom 3 months later. And it’s helping me navigate life without Xanax and with my ever so present anxiety attacks !! Proud to say in June I’ll be sober a year 🎉. Kratom has helped me so so much, but I started to have some symptoms that reminds me of getting off the Xanax, and the painful withdrawals. Admittedly not near anything like Xanax detox. But I have been getting runny noses and chills when I’m coming “Due” That’s what brought me to your video !! Thanks for the informative video ❤️❤️❤️. I had a sneaking suspicion something wasn’t right. Kratom has helped me so much and I will continue to use it as I do need it as I’m re entering a world I’m not familiar with AKA sober life... However because of your awesome video I’m going to cut back and be more cautious as my journey hasn’t been just about being sober but also about being a healthy and happier version of myself. 💕. Again thank you TOO many are trying to sweep it under the rug and I understand because it is so wonderful. But people need to be able to make informed decisions regarding their mental and physical health. 😊

Like any drug or anything you ween down slowly and withdraws are not noticeable. Kratom has saved my life!!!!

In my opinion, Kratom has nothing but benefits for those who need it. If you’re uncomfortable with needing to take something every day, as you mention, then it’s not right for you, but other than that there are no downsides to it. Kratom doesn’t hurt you the way that street drugs and pharmaceuticals do. If you need to take an antidepressant or anti-anxiety drug every day, how is that better? If you have serious chronic pain, then your only other option is chemical opioids. Is that better? If Kratom were made illegal, then it would become a street drug and could be laced with anything. It would no longer be safe. The American Kratom Association has established Good Manufacturing Processes and lists vendors that are GMP Certified. This guarantees that your Kratom is pure and free of bacteria or other contaminants. I highly recommend that you go to the website AmericanKratom.org for detailed information about SCIENTIFIC studies, dosing, safety, benefits, and pretty much everything you might ever want to know. Also, they’ve just received government funding to conduct more studies (December 2019). The DEA refused to schedule Kratom because the evidence did not support it. The FDA, on the other hand, is attempting to convince state governments to make Kratom illegal since they lost that battle at the Federal Level. Notably, the head of the FDA is not a scientist, nor does he have any scientific knowledge or prior experience. I urge anyone who wants to make a truly informed decision about Kratom to visit the website and links provided by The American Kratom Association. Please note that this is not a criticism. I applaud your courage in sharing your personal experience..

This is a real video. Unlike other people trying to impress. Thanks for the honest video.

how about 12 years here and I'm healthy as a horse. BTW, not only did it help me kick off pills but it also helped me become one of the best at work(in terms of work ethic and vibrancy).. Kratom helps me think better.. Kratom is a gift from God. Thank you God. Love you.

Kratom saved my life for me i get a little restless if i dont take it but nothing else.. No runny nose or anything like opiates ... Thank God for kratom

With the help of Kratom I was able to get off of an opioid addiction. After 4 years I am still taking Kratom, and still off of opioids. Nuff said.

Thank you for sharing this, Jaylynn. It’s important to know about this. This drug has a WD, even tapering can be intense-lack of sleep & appetite, loss of motivation, heat rushes & chills (especially at night), and you feel anti-social. So the opposite of what Kratom does. There are a few supplements to take while WD, and tapering always work better than quitting out of the blue.

This was bitter sweet but truthful and very informative. Thank you for sharing your experience.

My wife and I have been taking kratom a few times daily for over 5 years, in our situation the benefits DEFINITELY outweigh negative...

My dad started taking kratom last year, for his back pain. He has several ruptured discs due to weightlifting over the years. And other body pain. I was curious about the other uses for kratom such as anxiety, energy and focus. I started taking it around December and did everyday. I decided not to take it for a couple days and had zero negative side effects. No withdrawals. I don't know... I think everyone reacts differently. With that said, I am a little conflicted when it comes to the DEA wanting to outlaw it. I don't think people should need to be dependent on anything but I also believe it's a better alternative to drugs and alcohol. 1 in 6 in America alone are on psychiatric drugs such as antidepressants and anxiety medications. My point is, I would hope we could all be a little understanding when it comes to how people are choosing to medicate and deal with their own issues. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is different. What works for one person, will not work for someone else. Very informative video! Thank you for sharing.

Probably one of the most truthful videos about Kratom on KZfaq! Thanks for sharing

I have been taking it for 6+ years and you are right it becomes addictive, and withdrawals are real. I do believe it has alot of benefits for certain people. Moderation is key. Totally should stay legal. Thanks for your view on this.

Kratom saved my life. When the pain is so unbearable I take kratom and it has changed my life. I carry a bottle of water with Kratom mixed in and it is life saving for me. When the state and pharma want to try to take it away so it can only be obtained thru prescriptions THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT WHAT IT CAN DO FOR PEOPLE. THEY KNOW HOW GREAT THIS IS AND WANT TO AS ALWAYS TAKE IT AWAY TO MAKE MONEY. AS ALWAYS.

I've been taking kratom for 2 years. The first year I was doing about 15/17 grams a day. Then I stopped for 2 weeks and had no withdrawal side effects. I still take it but only 3/5 grams a day now. It helps so much with my anxiety and depression

Thanks for this Jahlen, beautifully presented mate 🙏

It's important to get a good online vendor you can trust

Do not comment to argue with me if you haven’t finished the video.

Jahlen, I have had a very similar experience as what you described as your own. Took kratom for same reasons etc. Helped so much with social anxiety. Nowadays I take it in a more recreational fashion. It definitely takes a lot of discipline on my end, because my body and mind love the way it makes them feel. Anyway, good video. Thanks.

I’m having a real rough time trying to get off of kratom. I’m at the point where it doesn’t really give any effect anymore. I can either quit, or do tolerance breaks, which sounds like it sucks. But something needs to change. Your right about that fear of being dependent on something. It’s pretty scary

I've been takin it everyday for 3 or 4 years. Quit the med thing and went back to work. Feel better than I have in a couple decades.

Just came across this video. I've been on Suboxone longer than I'd like to admit. I take it as prescribed, but I would love to be able to live with out having debilitating wd symptoms. I've heard of kratom before, and reading some of these comments, for the first time, I actually feel like there's some actual hope for me to be able to live a "normal" life without subs. Thank you for this video, and thank you to all the people in the comments sharing their stories♥️

Kratom has helped me get off alcohol and Benzos. I thought I was going to die taking Benzos but now I am almost a year clean. Is shit perfect? na, but every day I heal a little.
