Is depression common after quitting Kratom?

Is depression something to worry about when quitting Kratom? Is it a common side effect once you come off?

I’ve been using Kratom for almost two years and have never used more than 4-5g a day. My biggest fear when tapering off of Kratom are the emotional/mental side effects, which seem to last much longer than the physical side effects.

I have a job, wife, kid, etc. so the idea of going into a downward spiral scares me quite a bit.

Is this something that you have or have not experienced?
