Does anyone know the pros/cons of kratom? I have been thinking about using it to help with my WD but would like to know the negative side effects and comparison to opiates.
Kratom is very useful for w/ds but please bare in mind that it can be a vicious circle and you may end up becoming tolerant to Kratom and in turn having an addiction to it/abusing it.
Please be careful and try and consider any other possible options.
Welcome to blue light. Because of how basic your question is I'm going to direct you to the kratom mega thread. Any and all basic questions are posted there. I am positive quite a few people have done what you are doing.

Personally I have never used it for a tapering aid. I have read a lot of people benefit from using it but you need to make sure your tolerance is at a level where it's going to work because it is not methadone or suboxone. As already mentioned you need to be careful not to just replace one with the other.
