Hi guys, I took about a 1.5 month break from kava when my son was born. I felt great; although, I didn't have work or night shifts either. I ordered a pound of waka last week and drank around 8 to 10 tbs and had a good time. The next day I drank the same and it i still felt pretty good. Gradually throughout the week I finished the pound. By the time the kava was over I felt super lethargic-- like my dopamine system was way out of wack. Zero motivation and not interested in living. Not suicidal, just not wanting to participate in life. When I would wake up, I would have severe physical anxiety even though my mind was calm-- like my cortisol levels were high. I felt like this for about 3 days until I started to get better. This happens every time I drink kava... I dont know if it has anything to do with my alcohol abuse history.
My question:
Has anyone else experienced this and came up with a routine that minimises these unwanted effects? I think the obvious answer is to decrease dosage amount, but my self control when it comes to kava and alcohol are zilch and I dont really enjoy it unless I drink 8 tablespoons. My relationship with kava keeps looking more and more like its not for me, but I dont want to accept that because I enjoy the good times with it so much. Help?
