I started using kava to eradicate sporadic panic attacks motivated by supplementation. It worked super well, and kava brought my sanity again.
From here, it may be a totally subjective opinion, but I felt that kava brought me cognitive benefits and made me have a softer view of life. I'm more honest with people, I'm not so afraid of them anymore and I take everything more 'don't take everything so seriously''. My concentration on readings and imaginative ability have also increased. The colors are more vivid and it seems that i even appreciate a song better, paying more attention to its details..
Well, everything's great, but here's my question: I sometimes use kava more than five times a week. I've been feeling a little indifferent and without feelings, almost like a robot. And when I don't, the opposite happens: I get too sentimental and cry for everything. My bowel scant doesn't go very well either, and I'm feeling quite considerable potassium loss. Well, these side effects are manageable.... but I would like to know if prolonged use and consecutive days of kava could compromise dopamine synthesis by my neurons, or if my emotions could be changed in such a way that they come to depend on kava to be under control. Is that possible? I wouldn't want to drop the kava and love using it, it has done for me what various nootropics and heavy remedies like ritalin and others have done in a rather deficient way. With kava it's something cleaner, more fluid and I feel more spiritually connected to the world.
