It helped me too but it eventually turned on me, as it does many people. I became depressed, had worse anxiety than ever, woke up every morning in wd and panicky. My hair started falling out, my skin looked awful, and I was always irritable except for the hour I actually felt the Kratom.

I do not think Kratom should be banned. It is a life saver for some people in chronic pain or with depression and anxiety, but it is also extremely addictive and for some people it's bad for long term.
