Rachel from South Carolina
"I am an adult with ADHD and Bipolar 2 Disorder. Unfortunately for me, I am low income and have to use doctors that allow Medicaid, which eliminates the best of the bunch. The doctors I've been relegated to have either flat out denied me my ADHD meds, or the newest is giving me a child's dosage. ADHD is not a joke diagnosis. It's not a mild issue you can just deal with, it's a serious and sometimes debilitating disorder. If it wasn't for the effects of the kratom, energy boosting and focus supporting, I would still be struggling with work and managing all of my healthcare appointments and meds for both me and my dogs. I'm sorry that some have had bad outcomes with kratom, I don't mean to victim blame, but I do want to mention that if the dosage on the packaging is followed, it seems to be safe for many people. I would like kratom to be regulated for quality, but banning it would make life a lot more difficult for many of us that need this product."
