While kava definitely relaxes me in social situations, it also makes me want to be around people less. I normally enjoy really pretentious philosophical and religious discussions, and have a set group of friends I do this with. But when I'm on kava they sound like nattering bees to me and I find myself just wanting silence, or very chill conversation. I think being at a party would drive me nuts on it.
If any of you are looking for a solution to verbal fluency issues, I strongly suggest a basic nootropic stack I started about a month ago. The difference is very significant, and I am speaking from discovery, not expectation. I wasnt sure exactly what it would do for me and I found, over a very hectic month, that my words were coming out of me in otherwise tense situations with a fluidity that I have not experienced for a long time. I was so impressed that I took another look at the stack to see if this was an effect and indeed it is. On an empty stomach each morning try
4 grams of piracetam.
CDP Choline 500mg
DMAE 150mg
Fish oils (a few capsules)
I tell you the difference is amazing, and I have since been experimenting with other racetams as well, but have not had much effect beyond this basic stack - which works. If you want to feel sharper and more confident, give it a try.
