Next day lethargy

[Kava4All]

Hi all it's been a while since I posted here. On and off kava drinker. So since my kava journey began a few years ago I always am tired and lethargic the following day after drinking kava. I tend to drink 10-13 tablespoons of micronized each session. Is there anyone that has the same experience? I try and hydrate the night of and the following day as well.

Whoa! No wonder you're tired. That's probably the most micronized I've ever seen for a kava drinker.

Holy fuck that is a wild session you're having lol on a dose like that I'd be tranquilized out of my mind

Are you sure you mean tablespoons and not teaspoons? Still, even if it's 10-13 teaspoons, that's quite much for micronized.

Correct 10-13 "tablespoons" each session.

Just curious. What's the length of your session?

I didnt realize that's more than what most drink in a session. So I guess that would explain the lethargy. Maybe i should cut it back some.

Haha ya I guess that's why I feel so lethargic the next day, not sleepy just blah you know

The days when its 13 tablespoons my session lasts about 4 hours then its lights out for the evening

Yes a heavy amount of Kava will result in you being tired and lazy all through the next day. A lot of Kava will still have the relaxing feeling on your body even after you sleep.

I drink Kava heavy but I've gotten used to getting my ass up for work every morning, still very lazy & tired. lol

Drink plenty of water the next day. It'll help stable you

& try doing a much smaller dose lol

Hahaha yeah that's exactly it. I'm not so much tired as in want to sleep just feel sluggish and really relaxed. Also yes after the responses on here I'm going to cut back some.

There are some days that when I know I'm off the next day and plan to do absolutely nothing but sleep in I will go in on some Kava all night lol

But yea, cut back & take it slow. You'll see the difference

Really? May I ask how exactly you consume it? How much liquid do you even need to solve so much micronized?
10-13 tablespoons per session is a larger amount already for medium grind kava, but micronized... Usually one measures micronized kava in teaspoons, that's why I asked. Such an amount in tablespoons is extreme (and, besides other things, extremely expensive as well). Never heard of someone drinking that much micronized kava at once.

I don't drink micronised, but I used to take it from time to time. I remember any amount greater than 20g would mess up my stomach and make me feel far worse the next day than even a large amount of regular, properly filtered kava. 10-13 tablespoons is probably more than 100g. Hard to imagine what this must feel like, but I can imagine most people would feel horrible both during and after a session with this much micro.

Try switching to regular, filtered kava or get some real instant. I can guarantee you will feel way better.

 

[jewalker7842]

Holy crap no wonder while you feel like dog spit lol

I'd try some kava in the traditional prep. That microionized stuff is tough on the stomach. If I had that much I'd be krunked out on the couch like a Colorado stoner!

I only felt like that when I drank too much of a heady kava. That microionized isn't something I'd drink to get krunk. Maybe for a quick drink after work, but that is hardcore what you do lol.

 

[nabanga]

Isn't that about $100 worth, or more, per session? 13 US tablespoons is about 200ml of micronised powder.
What micronized are you using?

 

[Manuel Joao]

That’s what it’s supposed to do

 

[Zaphod]

In the days I still drank micro 2-3TBS for my first "shell" would usually rock me to my core for several hours. After 6 months the dermo made my house look like a miny snowstorm of skinflakes trailing behind me......

That does sound like a lot of kava but maybe try adding a good quality multivitamin or just concentrate on b vitamins. They've made a lot of difference for me. I take a brand called Centrum, maybe available over with you, I don't know, and they make a huge difference to my day to day ability to drink strong heavy kavas and still get up for work the next morning!

I drink 12 ounces of water per 5 tablespoons of micronized kava.
