I find GABA Relaxer works well for me. I take just half the dose so 1 pill instead of 2.
http://store.yahoo.com/iherb/gabarelax.html
It has all the ingredients to naturally raise GABA level or effectiveness in the brain. It probably helps with Serotonin synthesis as well. But please check with your pdoc that all the ingredients are safe to take with an MAOI. I don't see any probs but it's always better to be safe.
I think for people such as us severe anxiety is a way of life and it's learning what works to manage it. I definitely feel better taking GABA Relaxer, it's not a cure but it takes the edge off the anxiety which is always helpful. The full dosage makes me feel a bit breathless and this can be a side effect of taking GABA. I suppose I have some sensitivity to it. However one pill seems to help so I leave it at that.
iherb is so much cheaper for me that buying in the UK this product is 3 times more expensive in the UK. Whilst I'm on the subject can any one recommend any other stores which are like iherb? It seems a great store to me but I do like to have alternatives in case they don't have in stock what I require. Thanks.
