Well its pharmacology is very simple.First it modulates gaba.
Gaba as you know is a chemical that just about every single one there is,inlcuding all benzos work on just in slighty different.But again from mood stablizers,to barbitutes,to benzos,and so on ,gaba has and does play a MAJOR role in psychiatry.
What makes campral unique,is unlike meds which alter it in various ways,campral instead keeps it at a exact balance in glutamate which is the major chemical looked at in many brain disorders,onlcuding mania,anxiety,seziruea,alzhiemers,and so on.
Basicaly glutmate can over excite the brain,and this state is considered toxic as in seizures.Gaba simply inhbits the brain,such as in sleep meds,and other sedatives,which even though appear dopey,still considered nuero protection.
When drinking,or taking gaba meds,the change in either causes a never ending rebound imbalance of the chemicals.
Campral keeps this balance restored,and is touted to be non altered by any subsequent med being taken.
This med for me has increased sociability,mood,depression seems to have less power over domintaing my meds and seems to slip off more,and last of course anxiety.
I imagine campral is boosted hghly by the additions of other gaba meds such as benzos and mood stablizers.
