Yes You Can Caution: You may take it for anxiety.Affect of Clozanepam lasts between 6 and 12 hours.So you may take Kava Kava during the day It may be a good idea to notify or ask your Doctor if it is ok to take I do not see any problem except it may make you drowsy and you have to be careful.And it's anti anxiety effect is also very mild
