got introduced to kava few weeks ago. currently taking "mahakea" in capsule form. for how bad i believe my anxiety level is my doctor doesnt think so ive been on xanax 0.25 doses 3 times a day. my doctor didnt want to increase my dose. she didnt even bother running "tests" on me. im 27 years old, father of 3. i get paranoid in crowds as if i feel i cant breathe at times. during my sons sports games im that one parent who is quiet who doesnt root for his kids or encourage them when they make a mistake as i get scared of everyone looking at me if i was to yell something to my kid. i do alot of driving for my job. theres times i have negative thoughts in my mind or im always worrying or overthinking things making it hard to focus at times. i always worrying alot too. i always get a thought in my head of how people would react if i was to die. as for the mahakea capsules i take 8 in the morning and 8 in the afternoon. my sleep has been much better but as for my anxiety its still sort ofthere just not as bad. would like help if anyone recommends another strain. mon-fri i start work average 6am and getting off around 3 or 4. i prefer capsules as its easier for me during my busy schedule. for my condition its hard to be the only dad who doesnt come on the the field during his sons practices/games to play ball with him or give him advice in the sport due to my anxiety level and the fear of all the other parents looking at me. aloha
