Chrysalis 16 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 Hi, Has anyone taken kudzu root? I have read that it can really help with addictions (alcohol, smoking) and is good for anxiety. I have just started taking it and would be interested to know if it has been helpful for anyone here. Thanks, Chrys 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix 177 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 I've used it a couple of times, and it didn't help. I wonder if there's a placebo effect because it made me feel as if it should work, but pretty soon I was back to my old ways! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ne1 1,158 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 Hi, Chrys and welcome to the forum! I have heard that Kudzu can be helpful initially but that the effects wear off. I have heard the same thing about L-glutamine, but with more success initially. I don't know if either of them are effective long term. Let us know how it goes for you. Good luck and either way, hang in there! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimberTim 11 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 I tried kudzu for a while. It's been a couple of years and I think I still have some, somewhere. I was taking it with baclofen and I remember it giving me additional SE's, which I didn't want. Sorry, I don't remember if it worked or not. Might be worth a try again! Keep us posted. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck and either way, hang in there! Yes as an athlete I've used L-glut for years, before bac and nal, and through many detoxes. It never stopped me drinking and I was using it enough that if it was going to do something, it would have done! I think I used it when I tried Campral. I still use L-Glut but as a sports supplement, not for anything else! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
