I have been drinking Kava for almost 4 months and have found that I am one that needs a lot of grog to feel anything. And it's only ever a physical relaxing 'cloud' like feeling, I've never felt the mental relaxation or stress relief everyone else talks about. I've tried several types from various vendors, some are better than others. When I started drinking kava I would take 2 tbs to a cup of water daily and felt absolutely nothing for weeks on end. I started upping the amount and I'm now at 12 tbs of kava to about 6 cups of water which is the only amount that gets me close to feeling anything; I follow this with a second wash. I only drink on the weekends, as I can't afford to during the week, but sometimes it feels like I'm starting over every time. I've been skeptical of reverse tolerance from the start but I'm reconsidering only drinking on the weekends.
My question is: should I start drinking lower amounts daily and see if I 'break through' reverse tolerance or should I continue large doses on weekend? I really want to get the stress reducing effects more than the body effects.
