I definitely don't blame my poor experience on your advice, Krunkie. You told me to stop before bedtime about 1-2 hours. I did too, about 1 hour and 20 minutes before I went to sleep I stopped. But I still couldn't sleep. That's when I googled "Problems sleeping while on Kava" and found out it is actually a sleep aid, and I decided to ignore your advice and try to take more. I did listen to you though, and I didn't increase each shell. My problems probably would have started earlier if I had..
I think though that it should be stated somewhere obvious, like in the thread at the top of this part of the forum, that if you start vomiting up your kava, it is time to stop. Not to wait a little longer and try to dose more, because your nausea can get out of control to where you can't even hold down water anymore. Or not to do Kava for more than ten hours or so, because you could wind up with extreme side effects. Something like that...
And last night I only took a few doses and I got nauseous again, and I stopped. It wasn't too bad because I did stop. And I had Kava dreams like crazy, which were AMAZING. Lucid dreams that I knew were a dream, but I continued to interact with them all night long. Even when I woke up for a little bit, and fell back asleep, I was right in the same dream again, aware it was a dream. I did some magic mushrooms in the dream too, which caused some of the coolest dream/drug effects I've ever had in a dream. Colors flying everywhere, people walking through eachother, patterns waving inbetween the crowd of people I was dancing with. It was fantastic dreams for the whole night a little bit this morning.
Plantacious. yeah maybe today if I do some more I will start with a little bit less than a table spoon. Your post does make me think, what if it was the reverse tolerance and my doses wound up being far too much to me.
Has anyone binged Kava for 24 hours and NOT gone to the hospital? If so it might have just been the reverse tolerance effecting me quite early on.
But even so, I still think there should be a warning for people that you can get hospitalized doing too much of this stuff, and to pay attention to your nausea levels during so. I would have benefited from a warning like that I think.
