Kratom for energy?

[poisonedminds]

Has anyone used kratom to help with depression? I'm well seasoned with weed and most psychedelics, but I've never done kratom. Sounds like it might help me get my energy levels and mood up.
I would love to hear your experiences!

I gave it a go last year and was terribly disappointed with the results…

Ordered a selection pack of what was supposed to be all the "best" strains for my particular problems (pain, energy levels) and cautiously started experimenting, shifting through different types, dosages etc with sufficient gaps between that I didn't build any tolerance or anything.

Was optimistic at first but quickly discovered that I was getting nothing out of it whatsoever, save a lighter wallet! Better results from phenibut lol even caffeine is preferable! Kratom tastes rank, no matter how you ingest it; even in capsules it seemed to produce in me the most horrific, bitter burps an hour or so after swallowing them.

Dunno if I ordered from the wrong place (apparently renowned and well-reviewed), had a crappy batch of several different items or if my personal chemistry just doesn't match, but I found it a waste of time and money.

Lots of other people swear it works for them though! I'm quite envious and hope that it works for you if you do try it

Good luck, whatever you try and do!

Thank you for your reply! By chance, did you order from www.mykratomcanada.com? I ask because I was also looking for a selection pack and they had the best prices on theirs. I'm a pussy when it comes to tastes (i tried calea herbs once... ooof never again) and I'm also very fucking broke, so your feedback is very relevant here, thank you very much!!

No I ordered from a U.K. company - there are so many variables at play for this sort of thing that it's hard to work out what is best!

Good luck with your vendor, if you decide to go ahead! There are other herbal things that could help - some people find that ashwaganda (especially if you are female and your depression is oestrogen-fed) can help fight their depression, as can several other, cheaper and more easily obtained herbal substances…

There's a really good thread on here about herbal stuff that's definitely worth a look: here.

Great success with White Elephant Kratom!!!

I use red summatra from kratom spot.

I buy powder and then put in my own empty capsules. It's more relaxed feeling though. Low dose opioid feeling. A little goes a long way. I also use ibuprofen and new info saying very effective for depression and other neurological issues. Combination good.

Other kratom powders didn't get good results with. Oersonally, think one needs to experiment with lots of different strains to find onethat works for you though. For xample, I didn't like the energizing ones for energy.

Bought Kratom a year ago, nothing to obvious. I've stopped eating Gluten and started with homemade probiotics 15 days ago, that's been a REAL energy booster. I went from 3-4km running to almost 6k without a sweat, I had the energy to keep on running.
Honestly, I poop a lot better, I probably poop like when I was 16 year old, just a saying.
Might wanna give it a try?
15 days?

The herb thread might interest you. If you control f kratom it will speak on it and possible alternatives.

I tried it. The main effect it had on me was vomiting, unfortunately. If it worked for my depression, I would be happy to use Kratom.

I do find Tramadol can help me. I take it maybe twice a week. I'm saying it because it is an opiate, and I believe Kratom works like opiates (?). Tramadol gives me energy when I am exhausted and near-bedridden. I can then get up and function normally. It also helps my mood immensely.

I wish that Kratom did the same thing! It does help lots of folk, so is worth trying.

I love kratom and have been using it on and off for a couple of years.

I've been trying to only use cannabis at night since I feel like it makes me sluggish during the day. Kratom during the day makes me feel more motivated to work and improve myself. It does help with my depression but it is not a cure by any means. Taking 3-5g gives me more energy, but 6g+ will make me relaxed and tired.

The main downside is that it is possible to develop an addiction to it. I take long breaks from it frequently, but recently I've been needing it every day, especially since I stopped drinking and have been using way less cannabis.

The main way to avoid this is just to not take more than 10g/day and take breaks every so often. The website i get mine from makes it super affordable, so if you need a vendor PM me.

Works wonders for my depression, anxiety and definitely increased my energy levels.
I stopped taking it though because of health concerns & didn't want to become dependent on anything.

My experience:: used kratom to help withdrawal from heroin, if u struggle with insanity during withdrawal (manically ditching work, stealing the car to get to the dealer etc) I advise it. I would've robbed banks if i was armed.. Methadone etc just prolonged the process. I cleverly used fentanyl Duragesic patches when I was traveling overseas for work. Idiot savant, thats me. But if you downgrade it, the patches work...
A friend imports narcotics so have tried all strains - meng da white green yellow red :: honestly got so nauseous/ I cringe when I even smell it today. I can't imagine using it as a health drink. Creatine and coffee before I go training.
Use it for animal pain when they have kidney issues etc, if you're stuck in addiction because you're afraid of withdrawal, you have nothing to lose...

Old post but I'm going to comment anyway. There are a lot of things to consider. Brand is a big one, mit content of at least 1.6 or don't bother even if your new. The names aren't that important, just different ways of drying it and sometimes you get slightly different effects. There are a few states with regulations and even one state that banned it. Find a bender, not some site online. FB is a great place to find a good bender but always make sure they have happy customers

I take caffeine with mine because I enjoy the energy, it helps me turn off my emotions better as well. I've been taking out for 4 years, it helped me put down the bottle. If you mix the powder with anything, OJ works best. Take it with an empty stomach and it will effect you better. Kratom extracts are much stronger than the powder depending on the brand

Feel free to message with any questions at all

Attention this is just what I heart from people who take it, it's mainly to make you feel good and for opioid dependence, it comes from Indonesia. And it's very hard to cross countries in some countries. In the us some states is easy. In Europe not that so.

I fucking LOVE the stuff. Hopelessly addicted, but it takes care of my chronic pain, shaves off 80% or so of the worst thoughts I have, actually makes me want to socialize (which given my situation just makes me realise how lonely I am lol) and scratches that opioid itch without being as bad for me. Unfortunately my broken down body cannot sustain dependence to it for long before I get major organ pain. If I could be on it 24/7 w/o major side effects I'd almost consider living.
