Taking the Kudzu
I started another kudzu thread a few weeks back, saying how much it helped me from day one. I don't think there is anything harmful whatsoever about it, and no side effects either. The main thing is it HELPS with the cravings (after a few weeks, I am still drinking, but far less and with far less will power needed). It is not a cure-all pill, and you still need to really WANT to stop/cut down.
What it does for me: 1)reduces obsessing about alcohol (when/where can I get my next drink?) and 2) Increases the effect alcohol has on me so I get more drunk from less alcohol.
Unlike what some others have said, however, for me it makes me feel like I have had MORE to drink the next morning (which is fine with me-- yet one more incentive to cut down).
Since I am not usually a daytime drinker, I wait and take the kudzu right about at the end of the workday so that it "kicks in" by the time I usually "dig in".
I also take l-glut (5-10g a day) and have done so for many months with no similar effect to the kudzu. I didn't expect much or anything from the kudzu either, so I can tell you my reaction is in no way psychosomatic.
I use MWO brand, and personally would be very careful about using another brand. I read somewhere that in a test of a random selection of brands on the market, most had no or little active ingredient. So if you do want to use another brand, do your research first.
