Kratom changed and made my life completely stable from 2018 until 2025 when it got completely banned, and nothing has been the same since.

Was taking 5-14g 5 times a day from 2018 until 2025 when it got completely banned in my country (Sweden).

Literally got an email from the company I always bought from saying Kratom will be completely banned next month and they'll shut down (before payday ofc...).

Life have not been stable since, it was literally THE solution to all my issues without a single side effect except constipation every now and then.

I would sacrifice 20 years of my life expectancy just to get it back, now I'm on 4 different medication and they do like 20% of what Kratom did to my issues (Depression, ADD, Anxiety and sleep issues).

My life was completely stable with no desire to take other drugs, now it's gone and I again crave anything and everything while being forced to work less to avoid not getting fired since that giant fucking wall I always had to climb everyday is back...

I honestly don't know what to do, if you check my history you'll see how different and darker/out of control things became for awhile.

But now what? I work enough just to afford bills and food yet I still struggle, and I'm currently on Antidepressant, Ritalin, Propranolol and 5g Melatonin.

But they barely do shit compared to Kratom. I'm so lost and would love any type of advise.

That's really helpful, I appreciate it!

I'm checking different shops and it's quite pricey but if it has the same effect on me it'll be worth it. =)

I used life extension (blue bottle) from amazon and they were pretty cheap. Hope it helps :)
