> Anyone who knows! what is GABA the suppliment? how does it work? Could be used for anxiety? Also would Enada NADH work for anxiety, or is it likely to cause agitation? Thanx :-)
GABA is an amino acid that is supposed to act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. In fact it is the GABA receptors that benzodiazepines act upon. However GABA never helped my anxiety, it only gave me a tingling sensation and a metallic taste in my mouth. Taurine and glycine are also amino acids that are supposed to be calming. I tried taurine recently without much success, but then I was also going through klonopin withdrawal. Maybe it would have helped at other times. I haven't tried glycine. I'm on Nardil now which works well for anxiety.
