There are an estimated 2-4 million people that use kratom in the country. This herbal supplement has spurred a huge interest among those suffering from opioid addiction especially. This is because kratom attaches to opioid receptors, providing pain relief and mental benefits.

Kratom is an unregulated substance, therefore it has a lot of health claims that may or may not hold true. One of the biggest is people taking kratom for anxiety.

This is potentially a game-changer for those suffering from this debilitating illness. Read on to learn more.

Taking Kraton for Anxiety

There are a lot of people that buy kratom for recreational use around the country. There’s also reason to believe that kratom is a legitimate treatment for pain and anxiety based on early studies. Kratom may also potentially cause anxiety and mild side-effects similar to opioid withdrawal.

This makes sense, considering it relies on the same receptors to take effect. Negative side-effects will differ based on the strain and quantity of kratom consumed. Some people may experience:

  • Dry mouth
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach cramps
  • Dry eyes
  • Constipation
  • Loss of balance

These symptoms may also accompany other symptoms during withdrawal. This is where the possibility of kratom causing anxiety comes in. People who already suffer from anxiety may feel a loss of control and coordination, triggering their own anxiety.

It is also a concern that people predisposed to addiction may become dependent on kratom. If this transforms into addiction, then medical help and intervention may be necessary. Kratom is as dangerous as any other drug if it becomes an addiction.

Not because it is toxic itself, but because of what it does to those who become dependent on it.

Rules to Follow

Whenever you introduce a new substance to your body, you have to practice caution. You should only try a small teaspoon-sized sample of kratom to see how your body reacts to it. If you already suffer from anxiety, only try kratom if no other medications are available to you.

Never try kratom alone for the first time. Have someone you trust with you to help if it triggers anxiety or an allergic reaction. Do your homework on kratom providers and the types of kratom they service.

Vibe, Not Hype

Taking kratom for anxiety offers an alternative to pharmaceuticals. For some, they can’t afford medication, while others can’t take them because of the side-effects. Although kratom isn’t without its list of side-effects, the benefits may provide real healing.

Knowing yourself and your risk factors will help guide you on what is the best choice for you.
