Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa Korth), an indigenous herb of Southeast Asia, is popularly used to treat withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate addiction and a myriad of ailments including chronic pain, anxiety and hypertension. Its use has significantly increased in western countries because of its widespread advertisement on the internet as a safe, nonaddictive alternative treatment of pain and opioid dependent disorders. This report describes the first emergency case of toxic encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and liver injury in relation to kratom withdrawal syndrome induced by naltrexone in a 49-year old male. The symptoms were resolved with a regimen of dexmedetomidine, lorazepam, oral lactulose, and a bicarbonate drip. Outpatient treatment with lorazepam and tramadol was recommended for further withdrawal symptoms.
