[Article] Gaba

Its the goods, your natural valium...
 

..............
 
So noobs, are you suggesting we supplement GABA (if so, where and how would u supplement it?)? That was actually a very interesting read though. Thanks for that.

Gareer.
 
I had some crazy dreams and some deep deep sleep on this stuff - wouldn't mind getting some again!
 
Yeah its crazy.

Last night i had 5htp melatonin and gaba... smacked me out more then valium...

Its helping alot more with the withdrawl of ssri's.

Alot of stuff i am reading says 500mg 3 times daily however on the bulknutrients package it says 5-10g at once? I did this the first time i took it without reserach and i drove myself to the dr's because i thought i was dying.
 

LOL...what did the doctor say?

I was given a guesstimate that 1 flat teaspoon is 5g (since I don't have scales yet...).
Keeping that in mind, I started on 1 flat teaspoon and it felt like I was melting into the bed and I had dreams that felt longer and more epic than the extended cut of the Lord of the rings trilogy.

I now have half or less of a flat teaspoon (guesstimate 2.5g or less) if I know I have a clear run until wake up time (none if I am on baby feeding shift).
It doesn't knock me out at that dose but it helps to stop me staring at the ceiling waiting for the baby to make a noise.

n00bs, if you have measuring spoon things for the kitchen can you measure the smallest size you have (like half a teaspoon) and weigh it for me??
If you don't I will forgive you... but I'll need to wait a few weeks until I have the funds to make a bulknutrients order and grab some scales
 

Dr thinks im an idiots because i dont want to take ssri's to treat symtpoms of a problem for the rest of my life. 10 years has been enough...

I was also sick at the time so i thought it was related to that, he gave me more antibiotics.. Had i known what i know now i just would of smashed vitmain c until i got better..
 
Don't be sucked in to this. I used GABA and did not notice anything other than the shortness of breath 5 mins after ingesting.
The jury is still out on weather GABA passes the 'Blood Brain Barrier'.
I'll give it a miss.

Plaebo or not it works for my anxiety...

I am over studies.. If it works it works.

You cant feel your pituitary gland pulsate LH either however it does work...

I dont understand what you guys want to 'feel'.

Thought i suppose that why supplements like jack3d are so popular.. you 'feel' something be it good or bad you know it did something...
 
I gave it a good go for a few months. If it did release GH like the study says I should have experienced some extra fat loss, some increased muscularity and energy. I didn't.
Fail
 
Can anyone confirm that Gaba does in fact help sleep ? As every product i have tried for sleep does not work.

5htp and melatonin for you...

Gaba reduces anxiety wich may aid in sleep. But melatonin regulates your sleep cycle...

I have noticed a difference. Im no longer going to bed at 3am!

You have to get it from the states though so try iherb.com
 
Cheers n00bs i will give that combo a go, I used to take melatonin along with prescription drugs which keep me asleep for 10hrs straight but did not wanna be hooked on adictive prescription drugs all my life so got off them about 1yr ago after taking for years.
Seen a sleep specialist few months back he believes there is a good chance i have sleep apnea, put me on a waiting list for a sleep study, fuk knows how long it will be before i am at the top of the list
 
Yo Noobs - how much do you think it has helped with anxiety? - I suffer some slight anxiety from time to time - never done anything about it...but would be keen to hear how GABA has helped you!
 
well last 4 days i have been effexor free...

down from 150mg for the last 10 years, with a 5htp gaba melatonin vitmain c niacin combo..

WIthdrawl symtpoms are fading and im feeling better.

I know this shit works im proof...
 
Shane you are fixing your sleep apnea right now, by losing weights and getting fitter.
 
Good luck with it mate, I did a sleep study for bad snoring a few years back, doc thought it could be sleep apnea, didnt have to wait long to get in. Was bloody weird though, rock up about 8:30 at night with a heap of other people, they talk you through whats happening, hook you up to a machine and about a thousand wires, then lkights off and they tell you to go to sleep. I was lucky as I get up at 5am every day so I was out like a light.
