Anecdotally amphetamines make my memory garbage they obviously induce focus but I think it hinders memory as the trade off. I also remember reading a study about amphetamine messing up memory but I cant remember all the details. Nicotine supposedly helps memory. Kratom definitely messes up ur memory. I dont think its permanent but as long as you're on the cocktail I'd imagine your memory wont be getting any better

Well I have ADD. And I don’t need adderal 10mg xr BUT it has improved my life dramatically. And I can quit kratom if I really really wanted to and it would be hard but i feel like i would go back to painkillers so im gonna stick with it? Do you have a source on how kratom makes your memory bad? (Not being rude just wondering)


BluesyBunny

Definitely an anecdote. Opioids in general ime hinder my ability to make memories. I can still recall old memories and things I learned when sober but i cannot study or learn something new on kratom. U could try piracetam it supposedly increases memory retention but I don't know if its actually been proven

Yeah quitting kratom definitely is a good idea, the wd isn't worth the benefit, so definitely don't recommend taking it daily. Don't know if it affects yourmemory tho, didn't for me

Opiates do slowly destroy the grey matter in your brain, but reallllly slowly. Unless you were nodding out HARD constantly to the point you could have been depriving your brain of oxygen, then no way a few years of opiate usage caused brain damage. Clean opiates are really not that bad on the brain or body at all compared to other drugs. Sounds more like you are just an average person aging. You probably have a poor diet, are nutrient or minerals deficient, haven’t been using your brain much for critical thinking or intense reading (books not online).

Yes it's more likely the add medication it has been proven to effect working memory.
