Hi Daizy,
> Anyone who knows! what is GABA the suppliment? how does it work? Could be used for anxiety?
I tried it once for irritability and it did not seem to do much for me. I've been told that GABA does not cross the blood-brain barrier, but I don't know a lot about this supplement. Ask Larry Hoover if he is available.
>Also would Enada NADH work for anxiety, or is it likely to cause agitation?
It might cause agitation; what is your dx and what meds are you taking?
This is only the sixth week of my Enada NADH trial, so it is too early to predict its long term effectiveness. So far, however, it's working remarkably well in treating my bipolar II atypical depression (lack of motivation, low energy, anhedonia, hypersomnia) and my irritable mood states. At the correct dose, Enada NADH greatly reduces my irritability (dysphoric mood states) but, ironically, a higher dose actually causes irritability. But I'm not sure what it would do for anxiety.
FYI, I also take 600 mg/day of Lithobid for the hypomanic phase of my BP II disorder.
