Kratom anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety herb!

[PureOCDdude]

I've recently come across an herbal suppliment that has realy helped me. If you research it you'll find that it has some potential for abuse. It effects opioid receptors. Just like opiod meds. For pain you take a large dose. In large doses it also has a sedating effect. That is were the addiction lays. I don't have chronic pain problems. So I use about the lowest therapeutic dose. 2 grams 5 times daily. I take green meang da strain. I find it has a balanced effect. low doses have a mild stimulating effects and anxiolytic properties. I don't find it addictive in any way personally. It may not be for all people. But wow did it work for me! The first hour of trying it. Unlike psyc meds that didn't work that great, takes weeks to work at all and has bad side effects. I just feel relieved and uplifted. Do your research stay informed and talk to your doctor. To see if it is right for you. Just fyi spreading the word on my experience.

So yeah my life story. I was 10 when I first noticed mental illnesses. Then at 13 my parents got divorced. And the illnesses exploded. I was diagnosed with OCD at age 15. My mother has Scysophrenia and I received the mutated gene. Through neglect and trauma it got really bad. At age 15 I quickly got addicted to alcohol to try to feel better. I could not hold down a job and became a homeless transient. At age 30 I went in to Wasatch Behavioral Health and thy helped me get on Social Security, Housing assistance and Medicare. I started therapy and was diagnosed with OCD, Bipolar 2, Major depressive disorder, Social anxiety, and Generalized anxiety disorder. I've been on 15 different psyc meds in my life. SSRIs, Atypical antipsychotics, and Anti-anxiety Benzodiasapiens. But stopped taking all of them because of the horrific side effects that were intolerable. I started drinking more heavily and got a DUI. I felt like every day I was getting worse. I woudnt leave my apartment for a month and slept all the time. I was miserable. In a constant depressive state of darkness. I decided I needed to change my behavior to feel better. I stopped drinking and went to therapy every week. Practiced mindfulness meditation and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That helped alot. Then I researched suppliments to take to help OCD. I found GABA and other nerotransmiter supplements and took those that helped as well. Then one day I was in the CBD store and thy suggested Kratom for my anxieties. And thank God I did. In about an hour all my mental illness was gone. I quickly resurched how this was possible so quickly. It turns out that all of my disorders were the cause of 4 chemical imbalances of nerotransmitters in the Limbic sytem and Frontal cortex and how they comunicate. Serotonin, Dopamine, GABA, and Noradreniline. It corrected the imbalance. I remember having a conversation and I wasn't compelled to act on the negative images in my head. I was no longer abscessed. I could focus and reply normaly. Kratom for me with my disorders cured my mental Illnesses. It was the final piece of the puzzle. A blessing from God!! It has 180 degrees changed my life with zero side effects. Thanks Kratom!!

Research paper on the subject! Stay lifted!!

It sounds promising, but anyone considering a herbal remedy should make sure it doesn't clash with any other medication they are taking, and should check it out properly. The link you supply gives a lot of information on it.

O I agree I stopped taking psychiatric pharmaceutical. So it's safe for me. Yeah if you take meds for psychiatric or other illnesses you can't take kratom together. Bad interactions will acure. It's one or the other. Search it out online. Talk to you doctor. It's not for all. But could be right for you. It was for me.

Hello, I woke up this morning and ended up reading your post. A lot of it struck a chord with me. To give some background, I have pure o, bipolar, depression anxiety and ptsd. All of them severe. This goes back to as far as I can remember. I'm also medication resistant and have almost literally tried everything to get my brain to stop torturing me. For roughly 20 years of my life I had drug addiction and alcohol abuse. But mostly alcohol. I was a happy drunk at first, then over time became a very sad drunk, and then I couldn't get drunk no matter how hard I tried. This is just me trying to give you some context. Also I was drinking at least a liter of hard liquor a night by myself. Then I got a job at a head shop, where I found kratom. Now I had tried powdered kratom before but I had to take so much it gave me terrible stomach pain and I stopped. But then I found shots, much stronger than powder or pills. I started with one bottle a sitting, there are 3 doses in a bottle by the way. 3 years go by and I'm up to 3 to 4 bottles a day of the strongest shot on the market. And it was losing its effectiveness. I found out by beating myself into the ground that it wasn't medicine, it was a mask just like alcohol. I don't know you, and I don't want to ever tell people what to do and limit my opinions as much as I can. What I've written is just what happened to me. I don't know your answer anymore than I know mine, which is not at all. But I would ask to please be careful, it's a slippery slope. I hope the best for you, truly. Nobody deserves to live with ocd, it's a very lonely, debilitating condition. But know you're not the only one, and even strangers believe you deserve better. I hope this was helpful in some way, and if not that's okay too. And I hope I haven't come across as being above it all or that I have the answer. It's not my intention, it's only to try to help in a small way if possible after a lifetime of destruction wrought by me. I've gone on to long at this point so I'll end here, I hope you Keep going.
