I started taking kava to help with my anxiety, which had only started a few months ago. Now that I am through RT, and I am finally feeling the edge taken off of my anxiety I realize that my depression was right there all along, probably hidden below the more pronounced anxiety symptoms. I was diagnosed with post-partum depression 8 years ago and it has gotten worse over the years. I just got off of welbutrin 6 months ago because I thought my life circumstances had improved enough for me to be able to cope without it. I guess my question is, have any of you found that kava has helped with depression with long term use? I hate feeling sad and unable to cope with everyday life when I have so much to be happy about. I would rather not go back on anti-ds but know that may be inevitable. Thanks guys.
