I have been trying to obtain any info on this that I can, very varied info, first, kava has maoi activity, very light however, but I am curious if someone were consuming small amounts of reversible maoi in the morning, specifically micro amounts of harmala's, than brewed up some kava later that evening, would there be any sort of negative reaction? Ive heard if full mao inhibition is reached, than kava is allways thrown on the list of absolute no no's, but no one seems to have more of an explanation or really know for sure. since kava acts somewhat differently on the cns than other classic similar acting chemicles, I think its just thrown on the list as a just in case safety precaution, yet I somehow doubt that it would interact that negatively. does ANYONE have any input at all on there thoughts of having maoi in your system while drinking kava?
