Kava interaction with wellbutrin or ritalin?

[Anonymous Kavaholic]

Hey guys, so I am taking wellbutrin and ritalin prescriptions everyday and I have been an occasional user of Kava for about 2 years, but I started using Kava a lot recently (3 tablespoons of wakacon or kalm with kava every night for the past 10 days because I finally quit my ridiculous ambien addiction). Kava is helping me tremendously with sleep and relaxing at night, but I am so scared of having elevated liver enzymes or something. I am going to the doctor this coming Wednesday to get a liver panel exam and I am terrified that its gonna show some kind of abnormality. Are there others who take ritalin/wellbutrin and drink kava? how are your liver results?

also I've noticed a few side effects, my eyes get really irritated when I smoke cigarettes now (probably just dry eyes I'm guessing), and I'm kinda lazy the day after, which is not too good for me because I will hopefully be entering medical school soon and need to always study there. but Kava is truly an amazing root! I'll take it anyday over daily benzos, or marijuana which makes me paranoid half the time, or alcohol which is definitely not something I should be drinking every night. but I'm just worried about the effect on my liver!

Thanks guys

Ambient is so bad.

Ambient is so bad.

it is bad. I was really addicted to the high it gives and was taking 4-5 times the max dosage daily.
do you think I should stop drinking Kava days before my liver panel test? or should i keep drinking kava even the night before the test? maybe the second option would give me the most accurate results

Kava can have some interaction with amphetamines. If you aren't noticing any serious side effects you probably have nothing to worry about. As far as liver function, kava by itself won't cause you any liver issues, but you do have to be careful mixing it with other medications. If any damage shows up it could also be the amount of ambien you were taking.

Hope everything is well! I know this thread is dead, but I was hoping to know how your liver panel went because I am in pretty much the same situation.
