In reply to Zoloft and Kava interactions?, posted by Areila on June 26, 2001, at 22:38:05
Areila,
Give the Zoloft more time. I am now taking it again (third time in 2 years) and I am noticing it too is making me jittery, this time, but that is going away. It works wonders with anxiety as well as depression for me. Also, make sure you take it with food so it doesn't make you sick. Your body will get used to it very soon. Except for the sexual side effects I have had very good luck with it.
Stay well!

I've read all I can about it, and I haven't seen any concrete information about this exact drug interaction. As long as there is no negative effect, I would like to try Kava to see if it alleviates my anxiety.
