ive got very mild benzo and opiate w/d. I got a bit stressed and tried taking some of those kava supplements u can buy at the shop.

Bottle says 1 day. I took 4.
total of 240 mg of kavalactones

wiki says no more than 250mg a day and only this:

According to a recent comprehensive review of the relevant literature by Showman et al. (2014): "Despite the link to kava and liver toxicity demonstrated in vivo and in vitro, in the history of Western kava use, toxicity is still considered relatively rare. Only a fraction of the handful of cases reviewed for liver toxicity could be, with any certainty, linked to kava consumption and most of those involved the coingestion of other medications/supplements. That means that the incident rate of liver toxicity due to kava is one in 60-125 million patients."[26]

yet other websites say be VERY careful and some people can die from taking it for just a few weeks.

anyways it helped me feel a little bit more relaxed which is what i wanted. anything that helps....

I've got a whole bottle now. i get a lot of anxiety so i'll take them daily if they're safe. But if they're dangerous I'll save them for what I'm at my worst.
