I have been heavily using Kratom and I am afraid it is taking a toll on my body. I’m always tired, experiencing headaches, nauseous, sometimes vomiting, bruising easily, etc. I have tried to stop many times but I just keep going back. I’m embarrassed and ashamed.

I’ve def heard of this, not th symptoms exactly but the addiction to kratom in itself is a whole other addiction u don’t really think about.. look into some online meetings maybe specific for kratom use
Kratom is great to ween off of stronger opiates, but you can absolutely get addicted. I've been there too. I concur on the nausea and stomach issues from having to consume 10+ grams of the stuff. I've stayed away with a lot of NSAIDS (ibuprofen, naproxen, celebrex) for chronic pain and CBD for anxiety. Again , I think it's great to get people off of harder drugs but it has its dangers and alot of unpleasant side effects. What I and friends call the head spins has largely deterred me away (nauseous when eyes are open then subsides when you close your eyes. I've just taken a lot of over the counter meds, CBD , and stayed hydrated to stay away from the stuff. Good luck. Message me if you want anymore tips. I took it regularly over 5 years.

Don't be ashamed, be brave instead and know you can beat this, we can beat this!
I am going through the very same thing with alcohol. I fell as though I will never quit and yet when I get on here and see the struggles of others, I think maybe there is hope for me and you!

Hey you're not alone. I have met others, and I'm currently trying to cut it out of my life as well. It kinda became a crutch after I stopped drinking, but it's so unnecessary and expensive. Yes, it will create havoc in your body and you will have withdrawal symptoms. Mine include the dampest night sweats I've ever had. In my experience, my body builds a tolerance rather quick, so that could be what you're dealing with. I understand the embarrassment part, believe me, especially kratom because it's not mainstream...yet. But try not to let it hinder you from asking for help if needed.
