Risks and Treatment for Kratom Addiction
White kratom, also known as white vein kratom, is a type of kratom derived from Kratom leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree, native to Southeast Asia, that feature a white central vein. Consuming kratom can have mood-enhancing and stimulating effects, helping improve focus and reduce fatigue. However, taking it later in the day may cause restlessness or insomnia.

Kratom Withdrawal Symptoms
The active ingredients in Kratom, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, have physiologic effects that are similar to opioids. Kratom also acts selectively on opioid receptors, making it a promising substance for chronic pain management. This means stopping its use can lead to symptoms similar to opioid withdrawal symptoms [1]. They include:
- Nausea & vomiting
- Fever
- Diarrhea
- Hot flashes
- Appetite loss
- Muscle aches
- Severe abdominal pain
- Blood pressure and heart rate changes
- Runny nose & watery eyes
- Dilated pupils
- Blurred vision
- Seizures
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Irritability
- Mood swings
- Insomnia
- Aggression
