Strange feeling from kava

[larizza]

I have tried three instant kavas now. First Borogoru and then Pacific Elixir. I loved both. Now I am trying a third instant kava. It is Fijian kava with chemotype 426531, and when I drink it it first feels very good. Relaxing and happy and takes away anxiety. But after about 30 minutes, it feels like an adrenalin rush or like too much coffee. It makes me nervuos and overstimulated. Can anyone explain what this is, and how I can avoid it?
I take one heaped teaspoon to about half a teacup cold water. If I take more after a while the same thing happens, first relaxing then this nervous feeling.

Totally normal. The short of it is not every variety of kava is going to be your thing. It's a complex little plant. That's part of the fun.

I would suggest mixing the Fijian with one of the other kavas you tolerate better, probably the heavier of the two.

Yes, I have ordered Boroguru and Pacific Elixir and also Paralusul. I expect them on Monday, so I will try to experiment a little.
