In reply to Kava Kava for generalized anxiety, posted by Lao Tzu on June 26, 2010, at 10:20:46
I tried Kava only once and it was scary. Instead of calming, it pumped me up with almost psychotic anxiety and insomnia. Hellish nightmares all night during the little time I did manage to drift off. You know, that place somewhere between awake and asleep.
Anyway, it was some good stuff from Hawaii. My dose was small since I was being cautious. I get the feeling Kava is probably dose dependent. That is, it probably behaves differently depending on the size of the dose. In my case, the small cautious dose was probably a bad idea. But it was so scary I could not bring myself to try it again at any dose.
