Kratom worked like a charm for me and relieved my depression and anxiety. I was happy, cheerful and working (programming) effectively for the 5 months I took it. But I didn't know it was an analog of opiates (works on same receptors) and addictive. I quit cold-turkey to save some money and was amazed to find myself in the midst of a terrible opiate withdrawal (I had experienced it before on pain meds) Yech. I was doing 30 gm a day.
