Hey, I was wondering if anybody thinks kratom could be used as a mood stabilizer. I take 100 mg of Seroquel a day now, but I want to get off because it's making me gain too much weight, no matter how little I eat. Kind of at an alarming rate. I have moderate bipolar II. When I'm not on a mood stabilizer, I go into a mixed state where I'm irritable a lot of the time. No fun. Anyway, I take kratom every other day now which has knocked out the depression I was experiencing. It puts me in a good mood even on the days I don't take any. What do you think?
Oh yeah, I've had a bunch of IV heroin habits over the years. Heroin tamps down my bipolar symptoms, but doesn't get rid of them ime. It's hard for me to tell, really, but my friend who I got high with last time around told me, "Your bipolar shit is driving me crazy!" lol.
I used to take Depakote, which worked real well until my hair started falling out (!) and I had to switch to the Seroquel.
