Well I've read the horror reports of hair loss, gi problems, mental disorders but imo I think these cases are where people used large amounts of years..mycophile, you don't even use daily so you have no worries of long term damage..
We are all guinea pigs though in a way as no long term studies have been done on people using 30 plus grams daily..aside from a few people that had instant liver issues there aren't other reports to go by that would make me think kratom is harmful to organs..the hair loss and sex drive loss isn't due to testosterone imo but something else..
What do you think it relates to?
Unfortunately I DO think now that it probably lowers testosterone as they SAY that all opioids do, and when using I notice my libido is much lower and that it comes back within days of not using, but the fact that it comes back that quickly is a good sign.
I don't know...the hair loss seems to be a very rare symptom because I don't know why I have never heard of ANYONE on bluelight mentioning it and I have read anecdotes from DOZENS of users but they are just that...anecdotes.
It concerns me that it is possible for ANYONE to get hair loss because it just makes me wonder what is going on in the body to cause that kind of problem?
That said...now that I am calming down a little I still have to admit I like Kratom too much to believe I'll be likely to PERMANENTLY quit, and I hope it never becomes illegal in my state which assholes are already TRYING to do, but it's a long and tedious process from what I hear.
It's weird cause we KNOW that alcohol can kill us, yet I'm not afraid to drink.
Kratom PROBABLY can't kill a person, but I'm afraid of getting hair loss from it...
How we decide what drugs to be afraid to use and what drugs not to be afraid to use is weird.....
I think the ONE thing we can PROBABLY assume is that the less we use (both in frequency and amount) the less our chances of getting bad side effects....yet I eat Kratom like a fucking monster LOL.
I'd feel a LOT more relaxed if I could get my usage back to just one day a week because the chances of that being really harmful SEEM slim to me, but once you get into using it more that becomes hard...
That's just one reason I'm taking a 6 or perhaps longer than 6 month break after I use the 8 ounces i just ordered.
It's time to clean out my system for a while and see where I am at after that.
