What people say about Kratom and anxiety
“kratom has been a Godsend and has really helped with getting me back on my feet. My preferred strain is Green Bali and found 2g to be my sweet spot in dose.”
“It keeps the depression, anxiety, suicidal and dark thoughts in check, but it also leaves my attention scattered, confused and makes me feel half-ADHD.”
“I use Kratom. I work 12 hour night shifts and it helps tremendously with energy, I never get tired if I take Kratom before and during work.”
“I've only tried kratom about 10 times and always just experience a very subtle opiate buzz... When he stopped he had BAD AND VERY REAL OPIATE WITHDRAWLS.”
