"I use a small dose of Kratom (2.5 mg or so, about 2-3 times a week after a particularly rough shift at work) and I use the Red Bali. As long as I don't consume too much caffiene with it in the evening(bad anxiety, wouldn't recommend), it's a godsend, like somebody else said. It really helps with joint and muscle pain in a way that nothing else I've taken without major side effects has. My only cautionary statements would be to keep an eye on your caffeine intake with it, do not under any circumstances drink or double up on other drugs with it (I use Cannabis but have never had a problem with it particularly but I saw my ex husband take 3-4 mg after ONE beer and he was practically in a coma and was acting ridiculous/out of it.) Be sure to drink plenty of water, don't take with other opiates or benzos (do your research before taking) and you'll be fine. Overdoing it can make you anxious and nauseous so take it easy."

For Herbal Supplementation "I have suffered with severe Restless Leg Syndrome for years, nothing would help for very long. I also have chronic pain from arthritis. I decided to buy kratom from the Netherlands, from a well-known company. My daughter also has chronic pain from internal injuries from surgery. (another story), decided to try it too. We made the tea when the powder, red vein kratom arrived. We were meticulous about making and measuring, having watched many videos on YouTube. The smallest amount was used, half a teaspoon each, about 2grams. Within half an hour I began to have pain in my lower abdomen and so did my daughter. Within minutes my restless legs started jumping, we both experienced restlessness to the point of distraction. Then we felt very dizzy, and disorientated. The pain grew and I thought how could this happen, when it is supposed to help, not make it worse? Worst night of my life. Never again. Keep away from kratom. It is dangerous."

For Herbal Supplementation "I’ve been taking krakom every day for 3 years. Every morning I take about 6 grams with my coffee and every afternoon 6 grams. Some days I take more depending on my stress load. I’ve found it beneficial in my life, but I am worried about long term effects"

"High doses of kratom works really well for my schizophrenia, especially the red and green ones. Shuts down all that paranoia, anxiety, and racing thoughts just as well as an antipsychotic."
