Guest guest Posted April 16, 1999 Report Share Posted April 16, 1999 Coco, I've heard some good reports for Kava Kava. Tried it several years ago and it did nothing for me.....but I will try it again now because I have a lot of anxiety. Maybe I got one of those batches that didn't really have what it was supposed to in it. There are many of them out there. I thought I would share my opinions on your supplements with you......since I am very interested in them also. The Evening Primrose I take sometimes and is recommended in my files for cancer prevention.....but not for rls. The msm sounds like nothing I need or want. It's a shame, but the worst thing about this is that with all that you are taking and doing you will not know exactly what each thing does, if it does anything at all. If only we had time to try one thing at a time. I would not give up on the Xanax so fast. I'm not telling you to take it, particularly if the Kava is helping.....but you might have a time in the future that you will need it. I have had wonderful results with this drug and no side effects......for anxiety and helping to sleep.....not for rls. I know many, many others who have also. It's entirely possible that you had a bad rls attack the night you took it for some other reason than the Xanax. Unless you have a distinctly bad reaction.......throwing up, fainting, seizure, swelling, etc......I would always give a drug a second try. Just my thoughts..........

Guest guest Posted April 16, 1999 Report Share Posted April 16, 1999 Hi COCO and All, I take Kava every night, and it helps combat the insomnia brought on by Mirapex. I always wake up several times anyway, but usually am able to go back to sleep. Am always debating with myself about alternative vs. traditional meds, and obviously use some of each. I love the different views here in the group - sometimes confuse me (not hard to do), but the more info the better. Maybe one of these days I'll get off the fence and risk a commitment to one or the other. Perhaps the secret is a judicial combination. Calm legs tonight to everyone. ne, 59, Lawrenceville, NJ --- mainard@... wrote: > From: mainard@... > > I took the Kava last night to sleep with. First > one at baedtime.
