I don't like to be the bearer of bad news here but in my research on Kratom, I found the following information at this site:
Drug Abuse | Kratom Effects
Here are some of the basic issues with Kratom:
Quote:
A person using this drug may not expect or want the following undesirable effects of kratom:
Edginess, nervousness
Vomiting (can be severe and prolonged)
Nausea (can be severe and prolonged)
Sweating
Itching
Constipation
Delusions
Lethargy
Respiratory depression
Tremors
Aggressive or combative behavior
Psychotic episodes
Hallucinations
Paranoia
Since the drug is also addictive, one of the effects can include compulsive use of the drug despite the harm that is being done to one’s mental state or life.
Addiction effects may include:
Loss of sexual desire
Loss of weight
Darkening of skin on face
Constant cravings that drive one to use more of the drug
Withdrawal effects of kratom are very similar to those of opiates like heroin or prescription painkillers.
They include:
Diarrhea
Muscle pain
Muscle tremors and jerking
Restlessness and sleeplessness
Severe depression
Crying
Episodes of panic
Sudden swings of mood
Irritability

I completely understand how difficult it is to wean off opiates, both my daughters are in an out patient program. My heart goes out to ya'll who have to deal with this. It's damned hard, probably the hardest thing ya'll will ever have to do in your lives.
Please, please, please be careful of what you put into your bodies. Just because something is "all natural" doesn't make it good for you. Your health is so important.....please, just be careful!
