**Hi everyone!** **My name is Emma, but everyone calls me Scremma, cause I’m loud as shit! Im 28, married to my best friend and we have full custody of my 13 year old stepson.

I also suffer from major panic disorder with agoraphobia (fear of the marketplace, or basically large crowds or big buildings where I can’t see an exit at all times), and recently some depression. Kratom not only solved my pain, but has given me increased focus and motivation, decreased social anxiety, and a much brighter outlook on any given day. The fact that this natural herbal/botanical supplements and has sooo many positive side effects is mind blowing! ** **My husband is a recovering heroin addict, and he’s been clean and sober since 2012 and is still stuck on suboxone due to the withdrawal time. We’re working on trying to get him transferred to Kratom, but the only time he took it he got a pretty bad headache and felt pretty nauseous.

It hasn't happened to me yet, (knock on wood) but I hear all the time that the one side affect of taking too much is nausea and headache. Among other unpleasant side effects. ( wobbles) I take 6 grams in the morning but kinda built up to that from 4\. I intend to get that back down to 4 but am not in a giant rush because I know it takes time for the receptors in your brain to heal after long term prescribed meds. Anyways, welcome all the best :)

I am or actually was suffering from paralyzing anxiety that literally freezes me up, so I was in a very non-functioning & dark "place" before I came back to kratom. And yes, kratom has saved me twice but time for that later. So, I believe I may understand how awful your anxiety with agoraphobia is to try to live with. The panic attacks at the mere thought of making a decision, the relentless insomnia, the shaking sweaty hands, the inability to drive or even go out of the house, etc … As for the depression, that kinda goes with the territory considering the lack of ability to function, to participate in your own life.  This is how I view my experience with kratom; Anxiety reduced me to a frozen spectator. Kratom gave me the freedom to participate in life (please see below). Our leaf empowering, yes?. Does any of this sound similar to your own experience? I look forward to your response, Scremma.
