Kava and "hangover"

[Noname]

Some ppl report anxiety the next day. Kava relaxes you and healing happens when you relax kinda like mediation. What if next day anxiety from kava that some ppl report is a sign that old stuff is coming to the surface ? Or maybe anxiety is a detox symptom and your body is just getting kava out of system.. Yea i know I think too much lol

I think many of these questions are better left for a professional, of course we are all different and kava affects us all slightly different. Personally, any anxiety for me has nothing to do with kava (before or the day after), it has to do with my personal problems, worries, etc.

lol, you're a thinker, that's for sure!

What I think we fail to realize is that people who use kava for anxiety may genuinely have a condition that makes anxiety a recurring issue. Drinking kava daily will make a dent in it, and give some serious relief, but kava isn't permanent. Also, in the same breath, those of us who do suffer from sustained anxiety are very sensitive to changes in it. When the kava's anxiolytic effects wear off, we tend to feel that swing a bit more than someone who may not suffer from anxiety daily.

Of course, this is just my view of it.

I'm sure tudei kava can cause that. I've been drinking noble kava for a couple weeks now and I must say it's helping to ease my anxiety into the next day for sure. A more positive attitude and more social than usual. As with any sort of mind altering substance, the effects will vary from person to person, and as stated above any real anxiety from taking kava is probably entirely psychological and how you're perceiving things.
