In reply to Kava Kava still around?, posted by former poster on July 30, 2010, at 23:49:47
I took Kava kava for many months years ago. It did help my anxiety and I didn't have any side effects from it. Don't know what the long-term effects might be. A very few persons have had liver problems with it, but these people may have been very sensitive to it, took too high a dosage, mixed drugs or alcohol with it, or had liver problems to begin with. Generally, it is safe, but still use caution, especially if you drink a lot of alcohol. Not good to mix these two. Not good to mix pharmaceutical antidepressants with kava either. I had this experience.
