So, I've been experimenting with kava for a couple of weeks and have made it through approx 1 lb. of the stuff. I started increasing dosages and last night I was up to 8 tbsp. Although I have briefly, fleetingly experienced some nice effects, euphoria and relaxation from kava, I've never had that last more than 10 minutes or so. I have been doing my homework also on methods and I think I have the kneading thing down. So the last 2 nights, I did 6 tbsp and 8 tbsp and experienced nothing at all. I mean, I feel it, but it's just not anything pleasant, just sort of a there fuzzy numb feeling.
So, am I going too slow to break through reverse tolerance? I'm only drinking 3 or 4 times a week, or am I just being too impatient? I don't want to give up. I need a substitute for alcohol which I want to totally give up except for very occasionally. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect kava to make me feel like drinking a 6 pack does, but some nice anti-stress/anti-anxiety effect is all I am looking for.
