Resurrecting this interesting article to report that I purchased some GABA at an online source recommended by templar and had immediate response the first night I took a very low (I think) dose. I slept like a baby, woke up totally refreshed after six hours -- usually I need 9 -- and got much more than usual accomplished the next day....I'll see whether this effect is maintained after a week, a month, 90 days of taking GABA at night.

I checked it out because I'd been having trouble sleeping, keyed up prior to eye surgery. I got prescription for low-dose valium from my doctor. 2 mg Valium always produces an excellent night's sleep for me and a productive day following. But the idea of taking a drug is a bit scary, and my doc agrees about that. GABA is far less expensive.

Thanks for reporting back on your experience.

Maybe I'll try it. Actually I kind of forgot about it, I am glad you pinged me.

Please let us know how you are feeling as you keep taking it.

What dose of GABA are you taking? After you get a good night sleep, does it make you sleepy during the day, or do you stay refreshed and sharp?

Glad to see you're back in action. Keep us informed on how you respond to the GABA. You're initial results seem to indicate it will work well for you. BTW, ask you're doctor to check into the use of GABA as a replacement for valium. there have been studies done that indicate it is as effective as valium but is totally non-addictive with no drugging affect and has almost no negative side effects with a lot of positive side effects (it's too cheap for general use though, no profit in it). I'm not sure how it is administered for the valium substitution use, or in what dosages.
