GABA. I didn't know that you could buy actual GABA as a supplement til a few weeks ago.
So... my question is, does it work?
If so, at what dose?
Must you take it with food or on an empty stomach?
Also, how does it compare with pharmaceutical anxiotylics like the benzos?
I'm fairly skeptical about it right now. There's probably some physiological reason that GABA supplemtation doesn't work, or maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
Any experiences or comments are VERY welcome. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, and Larry - I was wondering if you've had any experience with "alternative" anxiotylics like valerian, kava, and particularly l-theanine. I've heard that most valerian and kava preparations don't work since they contain very little of the active chemicals needed. Are there any good brands? Anybody else know?The word on L-theanine seems to be pretty good though, do you have any experience Larry... or anyone else for that matter?
