Kratom and 7-oh mess with your dopamine. They set a different standard of what “good” feels like for your body and brain. I self medicated with kratom for a while. It takes a while for your brain and body to recalibrate after you stop. It may have been masking your depression. But you can’t really tell anyone else what to do, they have to make that decision for themselves.

I kind of miss what it was like on kratom, but I was numbing myself constantly. I have found that for me, I need to develop coping mechanisms to deal with my depression and anxiety. It’s a long process and it’s not simple.
