I'm a 29 yo female and I have a question for kratom users.
Has anybody experienced hair loss after long term use of kratom? I've had a daily habit of 20 g for about a year. Is this a lot?
What do you guys think the chances are that it's causing my hair loss? I've decided to quit whether it's the source of my hair loss or not. I'm really worried that whatever the cause, the loss will be permanent.
Just hoping somebody has some feedback on this topic.
I know there was one other thread I found where someone thought kratom could have been causing her hair loss, but she later found out she had a thyroid problem.
Is kratom unhealthy? My gut tells me no, because it's plant matter, so it's all natural, but I can't be sure. Would you compare it to drinking a lot of coffee? So, not particularly unhealthy or dangerous/not likely to cause serious health concerns or long term side effects, but not exactly healthy? Or would you compare it to, say, eating a lot of grape leaves? Maybe it's comparable to something like ephedra? Ephedra is plant matter too, but is very dangerous. I know these sound like stupid questions but I'm so desperate for some answers.
The following is from Wikipedia. Other website provide just about the same information, so I've been unsuccessful in learning more about side effects/lack of safety/dangers. Thanks for any and all feecback.
Kratom does not appear to have significant adverse effects, and in particular appears not to cause the hypoventilation typical of other opioids.[5] Compulsive use has been reported among drug users who inject opioids, and those who use opioids to manage pain without direction from medical professionals.[5]
Side effects associated with chronic kratom use include loss of appetite and weight loss, delayed ejaculation, constipation, and darkening of the skin color of the face. Chronic use has been associated with bowel obstruction.[6][23] Chronic users have also reported withdrawal symptoms including irritability, runny nose and diarrhea.[8] Withdrawal is generally short-lived and mild, and it may be effectively treated with dihydrocodeine and loperamide.
