Marina Fournier Tue, 05 Apr 2011 07:19:33 +0000 http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/?p=63#comment-4039 I DO have expensive tastes in single-malt scotch, I just don't get to indulge it at all often--every 10-15 years, maybe. When I'm drinking an 8 oz tumbler of alcoholic beverage to stop my asthmatic coughing so I can get to sleep, it's palatable but rather cheap. I am not going to chug fine singlemalts from my cabinet for that! You see, vicodin and codeine are the only prescription strengtheners to cough syrup, and they'd have me up all night with a different set of problems, so booze it is.

Then it was pulled from the shelves in the U.S. because people were abusing it to get a high, which was causing liver damage, as well as other health problems. After satisfying the FDA by meeting new requirements, Kava Kava was sold over-the-counter again. It should only be used temporarily, for brief periods. One major side effect that seems to affect EVERYONE is that it increases dreams. Even if you never remember your dreams, or you think you don't dream at all, you are in for a surprise if you take Kava Kava on a regular basis. This is why some people get psychologically addicted to it. I used to use Kava Kava, and it worked well for relaxation.
