I want heady, but without anxiety

[INeedToChill]

Hey there! So, I suffer (and I do mean SUFFER) from straight up anxiety. I normally buy heavier kavas, but I'd kinda like to try some headier, more euphoric kinds. Would you say there's more of a chance to have rebound anxiety (or anxiety at all) with the headier kavas? Or is that not a thing? Thank you so much!

In my experience all kavas are anxiolytic. Heady kavas put me in an upbeat, happy, carefree state, and more balanced kavas in a more dreamy, sedated, peaceful state. I don't drink heavy kavas because they just make me want to go to sleep, which isn't what I drink kava for. I've never felt rebound anxiety from kava. One thing to note though is that heady kavas wear off quicker, so if you're drinking kava specifically to combat anxiety throughout the day, sipping small amounts of heavy kavas might be what works best. Heady kavas are good for recreational effects - socializing and feeling good

In my experience Nene is a heady strain without anxiety. Other than that, I would go for strain like borogu or kula (a type of tongan) because they tend to have anxiolytic qualities mixed in with the headiness.

Maybe the first couple times it might give you an anxiety jolt as you get used to the effects. But straight up headies give me good anxiety relief.

Yeah, headies seem to turn off the part of my brain that's capable of worrying about anything just as well as more balanced kavas do, but have the added bonus of a mood boost and some mental energy.

@Mo'iety @F3TU5 @ThePiper Thanks, everyone! I think y'all have given the courage to order a little bit of heady!! When I'm feeling super good from the heavy (shoot, I meant heady) come back and write each of you a sonnet. Haha but really, thank you!

How did it turn out? what did you buy and was it what you expected?

Also remember kava is only another tool in your arsenal-take care of the anxiety from several angles such as slowing down, taking care of yourself and practicing mindfulness. Where there is relaxation there can be no anxiety...

I got a good kava for you, but only available in the US. You can find it on Amazon or at www.tuikava.us It is a very Heady daytime kava which is when I need the most help getting through the day. They have a Micronized version which you can add a heaping teaspoon to your morning protein shake in the morning. Initial buzz for 1-3 hours and then you feel fantastic the rest of the day. Doesn't impact my coordination but my muscles are relaxed. I don't get stressed and can remain really focused, seems to help with my short attention span. I then sleep great it restorative sleep just not sleep. Never have a hang over. I had done it a couple hundred times. It really helped with getting rid of anxiety after my long covid.
