What Are the Symptoms of Kratom Withdrawal?
While some people think kratom is a “natural” alternative, the truth is that kratom acts on the same opioid receptors as heroin, oxycodone, and fentanyl. According to the FDA, kratom carries serious risks of addiction, dependence, and withdrawal.
Common symptoms of kratom withdrawal include:
- Anxiety and restlessness
- Muscle aches and joint pain
- Sweating and chills
- Insomnia and fatigue
- Irritability or mood swings
- Cravings for kratom or opioids
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Depression or feelings of hopelessness
These symptoms can begin within hours of the last dose and may last days or weeks without treatment.
Why Kratom Withdrawal Feels Like Opioid Withdrawal
Many patients we’ve treated across Tennessee describe kratom withdrawal as “just like heroin withdrawal.” That’s because kratom’s active alkaloids—mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine—bind to the brain’s opioid receptors. The DEA has warned about kratom’s addictive properties, and the SAMHSA helpline receives thousands of calls annually for kratom-related dependence.
Without treatment, withdrawal often leads people right back to kratom, pills, or heroin—trapping them in the same painful cycle.
How Suboxone Helps With Kratom Withdrawal
At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we use Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) to stabilize patients and relieve withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone virtually eliminates cravings and withdrawal, making recovery possible without suffering.
Benefits of Suboxone treatment for kratom withdrawal include:
- Immediate relief – Same-day prescriptions sent to your pharmacy.
- No in-person visits – 100% online through our secure app.
- Safe and proven – FDA-approved for opioid use disorder.
- Personalized care – Ongoing counseling with master’s-level therapists.
- Supportive staff – Our team understands addiction because many of us have lived it.
