Hi mankind. I have been threw it many times also and kratom does help in a way. I used it many times and what I found out about the kratom is if you get a good strand of it it does help. I am going threw it right now and I took it for a few days in the early wd but I had to take a shit load of it and it did help big time but I had to take about an oz at a time. It definitely helped me relax and it took all of my stomach problems away. You are right that it won't take 100% of the wd away but it does effect people differently. I have a few friends that still take it everyday just because they can't trace it on drug tests. It will be 9 weeks on Wednesday for me and I am not 100% yet but I feel great better every week.
