@mcgatt you might want to read the post by @colleenyoung to learn more about Kratom and possible side effects.

You said you only have minor neuropathy in feet! I probably wouldn’t take anything! I have spinal stenosis and trust me, it’s more than that! Surgery did nothing! Gabapentin made me a zombie! Doctors even agreed they wouldn’t take it! Shots in spine didn’t help! Couldn’t walk 50 feet without sitting down! Severe neuropathy in feet ! Medical marijuana makes me couch bound! Have just started using Kratom! A man on spinal stenosis forum suggested it! It’s a plant! Only problems they have found with it have been combining it with drugs like opiates! It is good for depression, anxiety etc! It also motivates you to get off the couch! Know people that have been on it for years! No problems! Am 68 years old and could care less about getting hooked on it! Also, I don’t get high on it ! It makes you tolerate your pain! Maybe you should try it!
