And if you hate anxiety now wait till the kratom backfires on you like it did for me. That's anxiety, then you have to go through withdrawals because you can't take it anymore because of the negative reaction!

Try excersise. Kratom is addictive regardless of what people say. Maybe if you only use it once a week you'd be fine but once a week turns into everyday usually.

There are some yahoos trying to act like it's no more addictive than coffee, bulls...!  Think about it, it acts on opioid receptors of course it's going to be addictive. In my experience and I have it, the withdrawals are just as severe as any opiate.

The main thing I am aiming at is using kratom to prevent anxiety and stress I have.

My experience is it is dangerous. Only because it is addictive. A lot of folks take it then take a two or three day break and notice minimal wds and assume the wds are easy. My experience is the worst of the wds are days 7-8. Mentally horrible wds too.
It does work to step down from a ad stronger drug if used responsibly. I'll never touch it again. If anyone is interested in knowing more send me a msg.

I researched this a long time ago. Although I am not advocating, I think it's important to realize it was banned in its native Thailand not because of adverse affects, rather, people were using it instead of Opium, which was taxed, Kratom wasn't. Government lost revenues. It's always all about the money!!

Although it does take some time to become addicted to Kratom - I ran into it in SouthEast Asia during Vietnam......and it also has a minimal effect that does mitigate low level WD symptoms.....I also know of at least one instance when the Kratom had pesticide/insecticide residual on the leaf. It caused multiple organ failure - - - - there is no FDA in SouthEast Asia to look out for your safety.. Be safe!!
