I've always felt a noticeable improvement in mood and reduction in anxiety with Kava capsules. However, it's very slight and I am thinking of switching to preparing the tea form to have a stronger effect and really help with insomnia.

I've thrown out the Xanax, Tegretol, Cymbalta, Lexapro, and Buspar, so I need to find something to aid in sleep, anxiety, chronic pain, mood etc.

Any experiences with Kava and getting around the bitter taste of the tea? Kava really seems to be a remedy for so many ailments without fogging up my mind the way prescription drugs do.
