Sedative or depressant??
I drank the tea before bedtime to aid with restful sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night...no reason, then by early morning a cloud of depression came over me. The sun was shining, but I didn't want to get out of bed. Every negative thought took hold of my mind, and I tried really hard to hold on to my positive ones. I felt almost suicidal. It was so weird!!!  It was the same effect I get after a night of drinking alcohol -like paralysis or something.  I didn't remember that I had some Kava tea before going to bed, but when I finally remembered I was relieved to know that I wasn't going psycho on myself. I went with the flow, by just laying in bed, until the feeling of wanting to hide under the covers all day faded. Phewww! Thank goodness it wore off eventually, and I went on about my happy day after drinking 3 ounces of coffee. This tea is most certainly for someone with excessive amounts of stress. Other than that, it sedates you into laziness and depression, just like alcohol does. BTW, the taste is undesireable...bluh, bluh, bluh!
