Lots of people have had bad experiences with kratom giving them headaches/nausea. This is largely due to poor quality kratom from head-shops and gas stations or from consuming excessive doses. Never buy Kratom that isn't lab tested with GC/MS. And don't take too much of any opioid unless you want motion sickness.

There are lots of strains as well. You may have had a racier green strain. Red Mae Daeng would be closer to a conventional opioid.

Don't listen to /u/samhw. He clearly has no understanding of what it is to use something therapeutically versus in a maladaptive way. I on the other hand have a pre-med degree.

With any drug comes a bit of risk of addiction or dependency. Even antidepressants. Having a healthy attitude and lifestyle and avoiding the stronger things like oxycodone, heroin, methamphetamine, etc is wise.

/u/samhw please avoid discussing topics you know nothing about while labeling those who do as 'addicts.'
