    Does this shit even work? I'm chugging the 'good mood' (cough, bullshit) tea and I still wanna shoot myself. I'm open to recommendations / better suggestions as long as it stays totally natural. Thanks peeps.

    it's an MAOI and is known to take weeks to start to take effect... some say you need to be on a regular regimen for up to four weeks before you begin to notice antidepressant effects. i personally wouldn't mess around with it just because MAOI's are pretty shady.

    what exactly are you looking for? anti-depressant, something to help you sleep, a high of some sort?

    i've had decent results combining kava kava root tea (only powdered root, health store extracts don't usually work) with a slightly higher-than-reccomended dose of valerian root extract. puts me in a decent mood and helps me get a nice restful sleep.

    Glad I'm not the only one who realized the kava extracts are bullshit. I should try your tea idea, that sounds like it would definitely work. As long as it's not too hard on the liver, lol.
