Kava to help trip anxiety?

This saturday me and a friend will be tripping on shrooms. There will be a few other people there doing some coke. Due to a slight former addiction to coke I sometimes get a bet anxious feeling around it. If I feel TOO anxious I'll just forgoe the trip, but I was worried that it might bug me later and was wondering if anyone has ever used kava to kill trip anxiety? The only time I ever tried kava root it DID produce a nice, light calming effect that I thought might help if I needed to calm down and center myself. Any thoughts?

I'd stay away from people doing the coke, specially if you get anxious around it. Kava does have a small calming effect but you never know if its really going to help when your tripping and around things your not comfortable with.

Are you anxious around other users because you don't trust them, or because you want to do coke too?
If it's the former, definitely don't trip around them.
If it's the latter, you should probably avoid tripping with them if you don't want to do coke again... or politely ask them not to do it in front of you at the beginning of the night maybe... just tell them you're trying to stay off of it and watching doesn't help. If they're friends it shouldn't be a problem... if they aren't, don't trip with them.

Hmm, it's not even that really. I don't really have any desire to do it anymore, it's just that in the past everytime I was around it it was a tense situation, and that feeling has carried over. Thanks for everyones advice. To my knowledge no one I don't know/trust very well is gonna be there, so I think I'm just gonna play it by ear. Ask 'em not to do it in front of me etc, and if I get a bad feeling about it before hand fuck it. I can trip some other time. Latez!

Alright.
This is a funny subject because there have been numerous times when I've been tripping and I would notice something was up with my friends...
Of course, they were doing coke... Depends on the people, personally, some people are fun to have around when they're coked and you're shrooming because of the conversation material. Other than that everything just feels weirded out. Like you just know something is going on...
Furthermore, this one time while trimming I took a small mushroom dose, and started to feel anxious whilst trimming, so I thought if I did a little coke I could become more focused. Entirely wrong.
Basically boarded a plane ride to Anxietyland with that one.
Then again, coke gives me horrible anxiety.
If you've got somebody to trip with, I'd suggest you guys go outside on your own and let them do their coke thing. Completely different substances producing completely different effects. Although I'm not one to comment often on "vibes" there's definitely a strange vibe in the atmosphere. I suggest when you begin to 'come-up' that you and your other friend tripping head out and explore, and use the 'house' or 'location' in which you and your friends will be chilling as a "base" that you can go to if things get rough. Try and stay out of the 'room' where they'll be doing their insufflation, and although this sounds silly, think of mushrooms as enlightening, a 'drug' which exists to bring enlightenment to a drug-dependent society. It helps if you can associate coke with undesirable behavior and actions... don't ever begin to think you should've just done coke. I don't think you should take any Kava, either.
Focus on the mushrooms, try not to focus on having a "great time," and instead let that great time flow unto you.
If you get real anxious and things start going sour, give in. Just give in... just let all the feelings come instead of fighting them off, the longer you try and fight them off, the longer they'll stay there asserting their prescence.
Peace
