Roman,
There's many books that suggest taking Kava as a replacement to benzos. I disagree- I consider it much safer to take a benzo than to take Kava long-term. But these books also tend to mention a lot of info on how to responsibly dose Kava. Well, I noticed the first time I took it I had great effects from 2 capsules, and the second time almost no effect from 15 of the same caps. So a tolerating effect may exist, which would complicate dosing regimens.
Anyway, I have no idea how much is a responsible dose, I suggest going to Amazon and buying a Kava book written by an M.D. It would spend a lot of time on dosing info, which with Kava requires a bit of help.
Me, I take it like once every 4 months... I just like it as a novel herb. I've heard combiing it with Valerian is nifty, but I'm a little cautious about valerian because I know nothing about it.
