> > I said in a previous post that I'd give updates as to how this drug effects Social Phobia. It's been about two weeks so far. I take 200 - 300mg a day, and I have practically no anxiety symptoms at all. No fatigue, either. So that's great, but at the same time, I haven't noticed any prosocial effects either. I'm thinking the dose might be too high. I ordered smaller pills, and will reduce the dose to about 150 mg/day to see if there's any difference.

> Michael, just wondering, does Picamilon work on the GABA system? How exactly does Picamilon work? Thanx.... Daizy
>Daizy - Picamilon is GABA chemically combined with niacin (vitamin B3). GABA by itself has a lot of trouble getting past the blood brain barrier, but when combined with niacin this is not a problem. So Picamilon basically allows the GABA to go straight to your brain.
