It really takes the edge off of the pain for me, but doesn't cover it completely, at least at the dosage I am using.

Some Kratom I've purchased was very weak and some was strong, so I work up to the dose needed when I get a new batch.

I am in one of the states that has banned it, or I would have switched entirely. The different strains are best for certain issues, but all that I've tried had less negative side effects than my prescribed meds do.

Seems like after a couple days it loses its effectiveness. At least for me. I’m not a connesuer, people say different “colors”” have different effects.
