Sorry if there are other posts in regards to this. I've been reading about it all morning, and it seems like something that may actually help. Haven't been able to find anything really negative about it. Anyone have personal experience, or know anything who's used it? Thanks so much guys. This is a great community :D

Hi Mosesport
I haven't heard of GABA. Yet, I wanted to welcome you and let you know I'm here if you need me. Think possible and take life one day at a time. HUGS

I take the prescription Gabapentin, aka Neurontin. Its supposed to be a mood stabilizer, but it does nothing to stabilize my moods. It does however help out a lot with my anxiety. I know that's not what you were asking about since I believe you were talking about the OTC Gaba....but Gabapentin works on the Gaba receptors as well and is a cousin of the OTC Gaba.

i took gabapentin because i was concerned about seizures due to extreme lack of sleep a few years back. it dramatically lowered my iq when i was on it. i went from passing my classes in college to failing every single one!

I used it for nerve pain. I didn't really notice any relief in nerve pain, but I did notice my brain became numb. Similar to what chris posted. I also swelled up alot with it.

Hmmm. It's hard to tell if it would be worth it to take. The things you guys have said don't sound altogether great. Looks like I've got more research to do. Thank you all for your responses :)
