About Kratom Addiction
Kratom is an herbal drug that comes from a tropical tree species. When taken in low doses, you will experience stimulant effects such as increased energy. However, higher doses produce calming effects similar to those of the opioid drugs morphine or heroin. It can be used in many forms, including capsule, tablet, leaf or tea.
Though it’s a natural substance, kratom has been illegal in the United States since 2016 due to its high potential to become addictive. If you take Kratom on a regular basis, it’s easy to become dependent on it. Withdrawal can be complicated due to kratom’s dual stimulant and opioid qualities.

- Nausea and diarrhea
