I have recently been hospitalized for acute hepatoxicity which was most likely related to Kratom. I know that this is not very common among Kratom users, but it has happened to several people. I would like this thread to be a collection of experiences from people with similar negative health-related consequences from Kratom use. Please post if you or someone you know personally has been affected. Thanks all!

I'll start...
I experienced hepatic toxicity after using kratom. After a week and a half stint of daily kratom use to halt withdrawals from a small hydrocodone physical dependence, I started vomiting and was very dizzy. Went to the ER, and my enzymes were severely elevated.
After a stay of a few days, I was releaseed. Under doctor's orders, I restarted taking the hydrocodone. After a month, I was retested, and my enzyme levels were only a few points above normal levels. I ran out of my hydrocodone and stupidly used kratom again for about a week. I started having the same symptoms, so I abruptly stopped using. It has been two days with no kratom use, and I am starting to feel better.
I take Zoloft daily as well, so it is possible that kratom reacts badly with SSRI's. It is also possible that it was just a strange, idiosyncratic reaction. However, from my experience, I no longer see kratom as a harmless nutritional supplement. It can also be dangerous.

I've used kratom ALOT, even while on accutane and all my liver tests have been fine. Now I know that doesn't mean it didn't happen, and it really sucks that more isn't known about kratom. It is a very mysterious plant that some don't even feel the effects of.
I used mostly the same text on another established thread, but I thought that it would be good to have a single thread with people who who have had similar experiences. I could have changed my "experience" text, however, typing from my smart phone is difficult and copy & paste was easier. No spamming here. I am new here, hence, a greenlighter, because an internet search led me to this site where I found some reports by people who have had similar experiences. I thought I could chat with others about what might have contributed to my negative reaction, which was very scary and distressing. I know that many people have had no negative consequences from kratom. That it does not harm most people who use it is quite established.
