Yeah I do. My mom was on oxy for years for a genuine chronic pain issue, lost her rx, doc wouldn't write another and she went into withdraw. Kratom got her out of it and now takes just kratom.
Same with my dad who deals with neuropathy in his feet from lyme related complications. He said kratom helps way more than vicodin and virtually eliminates his pain.
I've also experimented and this got me looking at my symptoms from a fibromyalgia type perspective vs inflammatory. I chose not to continue the kratom because I was looking forward to that point everyday and wouldn't have a lot of motivation because everything felt ok for once. While that may be ok to do, I didn't see long term benefit coming from that pattern but it did get me looking into LDN which I've been trying to find the right schedule for me for.
I will add too, I like green kratom the best (I enjoy that little pep like focus it gives without being directly stimulating). Dose can also cause different experiences. Low doses tend to stimulate vs higher being sedating/more opiate like.
