Kratom Withdrawal Symptoms

This is a seemingly endless source of controversy, as some people report the difficulty of quitting kratom, while others feel that quitting is momentary and not even remotely similar to quitting with prescription pain relievers or their antagonists, methadone and suboxone, from which kratom can so effectively help wean people off. I have noticed that several media fears about kratom withdrawal have only been filed by people who have used the kratom extract, a concentrated derivative of kratom which is 20-30x more potent.  I could easily see the addiction based on the concentrated amount of its active ingredient, so I do not endorse or distribute the kratom extract. I also do not endorse abusing kratom by using more than every 8 hours.

Other withdrawal reports I’ve overheard are from people using kratom 5-10 times daily! For starters, this indicates very poor quality, cheap kratom and in no way does this reflect my farmers’ quality. We painstakingly remove stems from leaf, ensure no other leaves are mixed accidentally, and cure organically with nano-technology. It also indicates extremely addictive behavior, and unfortunately said people will most likely abuse anything.

I think that a person’s inner strength is also a factor, as in most pharmacological research. Personally, I find stopping kratom (typically when travelling to a banned country) to be mild, limited to mild fatigue for 1-3 days, similar to the old days when I relied on 3-4 cups of coffee a day and suddenly went caffeine-free with cold turkey. In any case, all withdrawal symptoms can be alleviated by the tried and tested contraction method. With kratom legal, readily available and always affordable, there is no reason to ever give up kratom “cold-turkey” !!!
