Anyone tried Kava?

[Jezee]

Just wondering if anyone has tried Kava for Restless Legs?

[RCHD]

You have to be careful , it’s addictive and it create s augmentation for some…

[Jezee in reply to RCHD]

Ok thanks for the heads up. Does it help for rls?

[RCHD]

from what my husband says it might for a while but it might create augmentation too … so just be careful

I don't think kava causes augmentation. You must be confusing it with something else. Kava works well for my anxiety. But kratom before the night totally kills RLS symptoms for me.

I use kava occasionally. I don't see it as addictive though. It tastes horrid and you have to take it on an empty stomach in order to absorb it. I find it helps...slightly. D8 with CBD and CBN works better for me. I take that 2 hours before bed time so it's absorbed. It doesn't totally knock it back, but it makes me sleepy enough that I can power down fast enough past the jumpy/painful stage.

I've never tried kratom. I've heard that it helps. It is addictive, but likely no moreso than the prescription meds that get prescribed for intense cases.

5htp is similar to kava but is much better, I switch from one to another, Valerian can be helpful, but has interaction with medication, kava can have interactions with medicines, it's aways best to check first.
