[QUOTE="ksm, post: 753429, member: 12511"] I know several that take it, personally, and lots that take it from a FB page for people who have adhesive arachnoiditis, a severe chronic pain condition. It has been described as being as painful as stage 4 cancer without the relief of death. My son has this condition. I ordered red vein Kratom blends that have a long history from a reputable company. I have never bought it locally, like at a vape shop. (Medical marijuana is not available in our state). My son never had dizzy spells. He tried drinking the powder in a tea, but then we bought empty capsules and filled with about a half a teaspoon of Kratom. It was very effective for pain. He had more side effects from prescription pain medications. Many pain pts have had their pain medications decreased or even withheld. Kratom is not an opioid but does use the same opioid receptors. You can't take them at the same time, because if you are on one, and take the other, it makes it ineffective and does not increase the effect of the other. Once the receptors are activated, it can't "use" the other medications. Adhesive Arachnoiditis is rare and there are not many doctors who are treating it. I downloaded a handbook from a pain Doctor that has been successful. Since many patients can't find treatment, he had a list of supplements to try, and he had Kratom listed. It was very helpful for my son and others. It never made him high. It probably cost me less than $30 a month. At this point in time, he was in bed probably 20 hours a day. My son finally was able to get a medical card and was able to seek treatment. He is not using the Kratom now, and is maybe 50% better. But he's not on pain medications or fentanyl patches anymore either. He would opt to go back to Kratom than opioids. Just like any thing, there are good for some, and abused by others. A general surgeon I used to work with also told me about Kratom. He was on The Doctor's TV show several years ago when they did a segment on it. His adult son used it to get off hard drugs. My son also informed his medical doctor, who wasn't thrilled, but had an open mind. I tried taking it and it did not make me high or dizzy, but I belched and could taste it. But that was before we got the capsules. If I needed long term pain medications, I would give it a try. Ksm [/QUOTE]
