Ready!

I chase with something carbonated and sugar free. Mostly I like la croix flavored sparkling water - they have a guava flavor which is a good one. It's not the strongest at covering up the taste, but it works well enough.

Hello all. I haven't been on the forums in ages, though I have occasionally lurked. I have been happlily shelling the last few years. I do have to confess that during the covid lockdowns, I fell of the wagon and got back into alcohol again. I mean, I went from about a glass of wine a month...

Hmm. The biggest problem with kava affecting my sleep is that I have to get up and pee all night! It's really annoying.

Yes! Beautiful here today. And my kava time fresh bottled kava should be arriving this afternoon!

First - welcome! I Lao struggle with depression and anxiety. The kava doesn’t necessarily help me with that directly,but othereide makes life more enjoyable anyway! Kap’m - curious about the grapefruit comment since I started a med early this summer that has such a warning - buspar. Do you...

I missed this initially! I have a 4 pack on the way. I am excited to get this close to the fresh root!

I had that problem too. Now I just use one of the shakers bottles for protein shakes - the kind that usually come with a metal shaker ball. They have a nice wide mouth for adding the aluball (I use 2 or three) and once you screw the lid on, no leaks. The kind I have had a nice snap close pour...

Getting started ::chugger::

That does sound weird and scary! My first thought is that the symptoms you describe don’t sound like common reactions to kava. Have you checked in with your doc to see if there is some other underlying health issue? Of course if the symptoms stop when you stop kava, that may be the...

That’s great. I have been able to avoid turning to a benzo for my panic attacks sometimes, which are milder than what you describe. I still rely on benzos more than I would like to, but kava is definitely helping a great deal.

Any review on this yet? I got my brick of ra’s and ambae. Trying the ra’s right now - so far so good.

Just one so far - husband who finally had to try after watching me choking this vile stuff down for a few months. Curiosity got to him. Now he insists on having it most days. A second possible convert is In the works, but not sure she has tried yet. She was very interested even though I...

Thanks. Nice to know I’m not the only one out there with this run away anxiety. It flares up when I m under stress, big time. I have seen a therapist in the past. He said the anxiety and stress is like someone with asthma in a smoky room. - it just sets it off. I have about four major...

Thanks - glad you are keeping it together most of the time. I just hate the physical sensations I get, and I further hate it that a benzo is usually the only way I can really get rid of it. I can go a few weeks without using any, but if I have attacks during a prolonged high stress situation...

I just about can’t stand alcohol anymore. Maybe a half glass of wine with food. But that’s it. I just wish kava were more pleasant to drink!

so my anxiety has been through the roof the last several months. Job change, having trouble with new job (which I love in many ways), but feeling very incompetent and like I’m blowing it. I have had GAD for ages and it can flare up, and it has flared up big time now. I had hoped kava would...

Nothing like being greeted with a new kava on kava Friday. I just received my first bkh kava - nawamban. Can’t wait to try it!

Nothing like coming home on a Friday with a new kava to try - kava time kadavu in my mailbox! Decent stuff.

Getting off or at least reducing coffee helps me a great deal when my anxiety creeps up. But, kava in the morning does not work well for me in most cases. Can’t explain why. It can initially help with high anxiety in the day, but a few hours later, I feel agitated or something. Makes no...
