In reply to Re: can Parnate increase GABA like Nardil does?, posted by djmmm on January 11, 2006, at 21:56:44
GABA(B) is the sedative receptor
GABA(A) is the anxiolytic receptor
right?
that's why drugs they're working on (like ocinaplon) only affect GABA(A) receptors
benzos affect GABA A + B receptors> > i know that Nardil elevates the level of GABA in the brain, but can Parnate also elevate the level of GABA too?
