I didn't like it. At. All. I got it from SoCal Herb or whatever it's called.
I dissolved 1/2 teaspoon. After about 1/2 hour, I started getting weird pains in my head. At one point, I did feel pretty relaxed from a muscular standpoint.
My issue is primarily PMLS, but when I went to bed about an hour after the kratom, I had some mini RLS-type exacerbation/restlessness in my legs. I do get that sometimes with some meds...it's like the nerves are being put to sleep and getting it out of their system, that's my best guess. It's unpleasant but didn't last long.
I fell asleep. I didn't feel like I was moving about in my sleep, but I slept very lightly and I had a nightmare that my dog was dying of dehydration (the dog was also waking me up in the night as he had diarrhea). But normally I wouldn't dream of him dying because of that.
Today I feel jittery, my stomach hurts, and my head and face hurts, like pressure and brief stabbing pains, and my head feels fuzzy. In short, I really don't feel well this morning and I want to take a norco and go to bed like I should have done last night!
By means of not discouraging anyone else to try it if they think it might help them, I will say that my body does tend to be quite sensitive to medications and substances; I have multiple drug allergies and once got drug-induced hepatitis from flexeril.
This leaves me with the same problem I had before...finding a doc who is willing to work with me on the opioids.
Kratom is a no-go for me but I'm glad it works well for some.
