Am I still in RT?

[thorildor]

Hello,

It has been like 2/3 month that I use Kava but it's still don't work or work a bit. It affect me only if I take a lot of Kava(it has worked one time with 11 year waka, but I felt only drunk, also one time with Mo'I).
For example yesterday night I eat at ~8 PM, at 11:30 PM I took 2 oz of Concentrate of Drinkkalm to sleep better, doesn't affect me at all. At 1 AM I took 4 big teaspoons instant nene(GHK), doesn't affect me at all. And at 2 AM 4 OZ of concentrate but doesn't affect me, and I was still sleepness :s.

Thanks

Hmmm, @thorildor, so you are consuming Kava daily? How many times a week are you taking it and for how many months? I have to admit that I at least slept better when going thru RT so I'm befuddled and baffled by your delemma. Please give us more details. Also, I always take my kava 1-2 hours before bedtime to give it time to work. Not right before bedtime. It's different than other sleep aides. What else do you consume at night? Like do you drink a lot of coffee late in the day? Are you taking other drugs that might interfere with kava (not that I know that much about Kava drug interaction).

I have known people who are immune to certain drugs. Like guys who smoked other herbs and never got any effect. You may be one of those guys when it comes to Kava.

@Deleted User01 What is strange is that I have really rarely effects . I don't take any drug or coffee .

Honestly I'm baffled by how kava works as well. It didn't take me straight usage to break through rt... I just kept using different kinds ladde da.. and then eventually idk months later without using for a while I got a different kind and bam it's been working like I heard it should for the past like month or so. It's really one of the most baffling herbs I've ever come across ever. I think we can all agree on that to some extent.

Yes, I understand. That is why it is important that you post how much kava you take on a daily basis and how many days of the week. In your case, you probably have to saturate your system with kava for at least 2 weeks to totally get over RT. The key word here is "saturate". I'm still not sure if you are doing enough kava and frequently enough to get over RT. Kava is not the kind of drug that a Newbie can consume 2 times a week and expect to get effects. You have to really, really work at it at the beginning. Somehow the effort seems to stimulate the growth of Kava Receptors and then you are free of RT.

Woah good point maybe there really is kava receptors of some kind that actually do grow and build. This does happen with other drugs and stuff but usually causes wds ... must be some unknown form of relationship.

It's not regular. The last week probably 100 gram in a week. I just buy more goyave, so I espere it'll work.

That may be the largest contributing factor. To feel the full effects you'll need to drink daily. I consume about 100 grams in two days

What is the most effective sedative instant/micronized kava? Yesterday I took 4 big teaspoon of Ghk nene + 2 big teaspoon of instant root mix from ghk mixed with concentrate drinkkalm and the effects was here , but it still get really long to sleep.

For me there was no RT. The first time I drank kava I made a very strong batch using about 8 full tablespoons. I used the blender method, and I let the blender run for a long long time. Strained it, ran it through the blender again, and then slammed it down all at once. It hit me very quickly, so much so that I had trouble walking in a straight line for around 15-20 minutes. Then I got pretty sleepy. In hindsight it must have been tudei kava as it had been purchased from KKF. Still, I had no RT. After hanging out here it took me some time to figure out what people were talking about, having never experienced it myself. Finally, I have always been sensitive to things, so perhaps RT is less a function of "growing" kava receptors as it is a function of your own body's sensitivity to things such as kava.
