Is it dangerous/harmful to smoke kava while on antidepressants?

Im taking the antidepressant wellbutrin & also mixing kava powder with shisha & smoking it with my hookah. Kava Kava is a natural root that acts as a muscle relaxer. My mom brought up that it might be harmful because antidepressants are supposed to give you energy & kava makes you relaxed. So it might be mixing an upper and a downer. Is it harmful?

Answer #1

Umm I didn’t know people smoked kava, that’s usually for drinking… Kava has been known to cause liver damage so you might want to look into that.
