Hey, I took Kava for the first time today on a fairly empty stomach in the form of extract in gelcaps. I took 4 caps, each with 125 mg of Kavalactones. I wasn't dissapointed, but didn't experience the euphoria described by many reports. Just a really nice mood lift, mild spaciness, and looseness throughout my body, definately not a placebo. Well then I got home, and I took the same dosage about 3 hours later. With one of the caps I emptied it into a glass of milk because I heard it activates the alkaloids better, but it tasted really shitty so I just swallowed the other 3. Well, I was just wondering if it would be chill to take another 4 caps, bringing my final intake up to 1500 mg. Would maybe taking a swig of some hard alchohol kick in the effects a little better? Also, I have some 5-htp and melatonin on hand, but don't really feel like falling asleep as it is 4:00 pm over here on the west coast. Any help would be cool, but as I am writing this I am feeling really chill so nevermind ha. thanks.
I've never done Kava Kava but I'm sure any drug at 1500 mg can't be good for you... just wait a little longer I guess.
For anybody who's interested 900mg is a good dose, good euphoria and mixes great with some herb. 1500mg was... blah. Felt like shit for like 4 hours.
Yeah, I would think so at least, especially if you mixed in some pot and music, and some milk (milk helps activate the kavalactones, or so I've read).
