> I was just wondering if you are able to compare the effects of Kava Kava to an anti anxiety med like Klonapin.Cindylou;
I was just relaying information. I don't claim to be an expert on Kava or benzodiazepines. In my post I noted that a study had found that Kava compared favorably to Serax, a benzodiazepine. Klonopin is also a benzodiazepine. I might draw certain conclusions from that for myself, but I can't prescibe for others. Only a trial could tell, but I have not done that yet. I've used Klonopin, and it works, but I do like the warmer, social "feel" of Kava when I do use that.
