I just started taking Kudzu this week and was wondering any of those who are taking it could give me some info. Such as: how much? How often? And how long should it take before I see results?

I saw results with Kudzu within one week of taking it and I was not taking anything else, nor have I ever, except OTC stuff like excedrin, so I had a pretty clean slate to start with. (just follow the Kudzu advice from Nani)
I am almost willing to bet the farm on the Kudzu. Otherwise I would suspect I am having a weak cycle or a short one (don't want to jinx myself here).
I also increased my fluid intake of water mixed with a little cranberry juice like 1 to 3 ratio. I am sure I was not drinking enough fluids before. I couldn't exactly follow that 3x water treatment, but I was seeing positive results anyway so why bother I figured.
Right now I just hope my cycle is ending, the last couple days, shadows have been much less.
Kudzu Rocks! O2 is great (if done properly)! I have a reason to drink Red Bull without Vodka (have a bottle of Grey Goose in the cabinet waiting for me)!
P.S. I don't know how Kudzu may or may not interfere with those meds you are on? Better see what some of the others say.....

Give it time to get in your system good.
It seems to work best if you take it at the same time every day. Take the same dosage every day also.
Kudzu worked great for me. The first couple weeks were a bit tough...but after that...it was smooth sailing.
Keep in mind, it won't stop all the hits...but for me, the Zu sure changed intensity and also shortened the length of time of my hits.
Doesn't work for everyone....Hopefully it'll work for you.
Good luck,
Jean

Last year I used kudzu with tremendous success. This year it hasn't worked, neither has Imitrex spray, which did work before I discovered Kudzu. I've been taking Nature's Way, 600 mg, two of them, three times a day. I just recently started taking Lunesta for insomnia, can this impact the sleep cycle and make the CH's worse? Has anyone had great sucess with kudzu and then had failure on the next cycle?

It's always a possibility that what once worked for an individual, may not work the next round.
This has happened with triptans, OTC meds, and 02. You may just have to stay with it longer than before, not sure.
Good luck to ya,
Jean

Does anyone know how this plant is prepared? When it is harvested, and which parts of the plant are used?

Thank you Jean, That is a keeper for sure. I saw this plant crossing the country on my way back east, pretty much everywhere in TN Ky and Nc.
I don't like store bought stuff much but since I am in NH just now (home), I'l see about the health food stores, and see if I can get a a plant another time. Seems to me one indoor plant might be a supply for a heck of a long time...
It was a serious error in the south loose eh?

It's the root that contains the helpful stuff. Tea can be made from steeping the root. Trouble is, you can't really monitor the amount of "medicinal" properties with tea. If you take it for CH, supplements are probably best. What won't work at all is kudzu starch, which is sold as a food product in health food stores. If you can't find supplements locally, try online at vitacost, or iherb.

Damn straight it was  Kudzu loves the atmospheric conditions the South has to offer. Folks are tryin' to kill the stuff. 
By the way Mac, you should order the Kudzu online, you get it for half the price of the Health/Vitamin stores.
Sending my best to ya,
Jean

Oh yeah cheaper on line eh? Did someone tell I am of Scott decent er what? I'm so cheap I save the dirt on my jeans! I am still lookin for a use for it.....
Now it is spring like sorta, ain't it down south?? Why I even have a wee bit O' mud peeking thru the ICE....
I had the idea I could hop on my bike, and be in Kudzu land for no more than a fun ride, and maybe 18 hours time, to get my own, since nobody wants it....
It looked like something I could wrap all around me and then ride back up here ta' new hampster with cheaper than free if you don't count the fresh air I'ld get ridin....
If I got lucky I could plant one or two in a pot on the wondow sill...... I sure wouldn't want that stuff loose here, even if winter might get it....
Ok so I am making an attempt to be amusing, so far as I can tell there is no law against that yet... But thank you, and I will see about getting some. Mac

Yep, it seems to be springtime in Texas. Temps have been up the 80's the last few days with lots of sunshine.
My first bass tournament is coming up this Saturday (3rd).. Went out for a while this evening and caught 5 nice bass, and never got outta sight of the house. When they move up in the canal here by the house, that's a good sign of springtime and they're moving in for the spawn.
This is my favorite time of the year!

I hope yer not out snortin crawdad mud nests to allieviate the pain...  (I saw these in Texas and Arkansaw)
Spring is a tad early here. I am nearly ready to harvest rocks from the drive into this place..The frost pushes them up to the surface. In Feburary, like yesterday it was 54 degrees! First ever since I have sucked air....
We get "Cabin Fever" which creates an insane mood, and I was out there bustin ice so I might get to ride my bike a bit earlier than ever before....
I have been PF for 3 nights, but I got a shadow right now..... 
I'ld go get a beer and skulk in a corner, but then I know what happens next....
Hpoin you were not in the recent storms, and are just fine! Mac
