My wife and I tried kratom. I caught a weird buzz off it, like as if I'd taken a few caffeine and ma huang (ephedrine) capsules on an empty stomach. (I am old enough to remember when you could buy ma huang off the shelf.) Not entirely enjoyable, plus a ton of nausea. Then a massive headache, followed by two days of more nausea. Wife was arguably more lucky - she got severely nauseated within about 30 minutes and puked it all back up after which she was fine.
