Experiences with

Kratom

Kratom is a product that originally was going to be classified as a Schedule 1 drug because of it’s potential dangerousness. Some other drugs that fall into this classification are heroin and LSD. Kratom acts as a prescription strength opioid . It can be addictive over time.

I find that Kratom works for me but is illegal in Australia so I may be forced to live in Indonesia or somewhere similar. Right now, I am on Diazapam which seems to take off the edge.

Incidently just out of interest my RLS has over the last few years morphed completely into PLMD untreated (Codeine, Kratom or very occasional.25mg Rop.) this violent leg jerking will start between 9- 10pm and can go on all night, Cattle Prod behind the Knees every 12/15 seconds, what fun.

I have now been off pramipexole for 52 days, and off kratom for more than 3 months. I stopped taking pramipexole in the spring of last year, replacing it with kratom. When I started building tolerance for kratom I decided to quit, but the withdrawal was really horrific with acute RLS.

I told the doctor if it wasn't for Kratom I would probably have done away with myself. I have suffered for 47years since I was 10.

Disclosure...red strain Kratom powder that you can buy online (I bought mine at goldenmunk.com) worked unbelievable well. Unfortunately, after I took it for a month, my liver enzymes went through the roof so I had to stop taking it. Stuff worked like magic though. Too bad.

I have ordered Kratom which is legal where I live. I was advised on this site to buy red vein and that is what I ordered. My new doctor said that there was not enough research on its effectiveness on RLS but was not adverse to trying it.

I have been using kratom for years but now it's not really working for me and am close to packing it all in. I live in the UK (North East) and wanting to know if there is a medical centre that I can walk in to to get help and medication. Thanks

I have found kratom here in São Paulo. I wonder if any one can give some pointers on how to use. Tea? I am about to cut my 1 mg Neupro Patch in half and I am hoping the kratom might help me get by any rough spots. Thanks so much. R

So I decided just to continue using kratom to deal with this misery. 4 months passed and even though I more or less stuck to the dosage the affects of kratom became dim and my RLS came back.

The only OTC thing that worked was a pretty high dose of red vein kratom (legal here in my state) but it also woke me up -- so the legs would stop jumping off the bed but I would still not get any sleep.

After taking dopamine agonists for years, then tramadol, codeine and trying Kratom nothing was working and my doctor and neurologist would and could not prescribe anything else.

I am going to order some red vein Kratom hopefully that will help. Thanks again for all the help.

Also thinking of trying Kratom - which would you recommend and where to I get it? Thanks in advance, le buíochas, Coladh

Even Kratom isn't helping. I made an appointment with my GP and I'm going to try and get either LDN or Suboxone. Are they approved in Europe and which dose should I try if he gives it to me. I'm up and down all night with very little sleep at the moment.

I have been reading about kratom on the pelvic floor clinic and I would like to know if kratom works for pelvic floor dysfunction!!!!! I’ve even tried fentanyl and it didn’t work! I have an implanted pain pump and it’s not helping so I’m looking for something else!!! I’m now using pot to help!

I then tried Kratom and got good relief for 6-8 months but began to get bad addiction and caused my RLS to flare up in the day from Kratom withdrawal. I eventually got off Kratom (that was miserable) and have been back on medical cannabis for a year.

I have also purchased some red vein Kratom as recommended by a few on here so I will see how that works. Thank you for all of the information and support and I will keep you updated.

I've seen several posts mentioning Kratom but I have never come across this ? Can someone explain its relation to RLS please ?
