GABA is a important neuotransmitter in the brain. It controls the relaxing part. Taking GABA supplements gets iffy research.. I read a bunch of stuff about this one and wasn't sold that the supplement itself does anything.. and I read that you have to take almost 2 grams to have any effect at all..
L-glutamine is a great amino that also helps with relaxation.. as well as L-theanine for anxiety.. these will cross the blood brain barrier which is important. some of this stuff has little or no effect... If you are having a specific problem and would like nutritional help.. I could give you some things to try..
From the book END YOUR ADDICTION NOW. DR Charles Gant suggests that if you feel you are GABA deficient taking GABA itself does not make it better neccesarily he suggests L-glutamine up to 3,500mgs 3x daily 1 hour b4 meals
also L-taurine up to 1000 mgs with each dose of L-glutamine.. B-vitamin complex these will help rebuild the relaxing part of the brain that is GABA.. with the B-complex you should take 50-100mgs with each dose of glutamine. it is required for the production of GABA

Hi there~~~~~~~~I went to check out the book, and this is what I found.

Is this the same Dr.?
Yep its the same doc.. this was back when people just were not buying into the whole "nutrition" heal thy self thing... CATUF recommend this book and I had found that as well.. When I asked he said that people just were not buying into his methods.. of course docs just want to give you more pills and write scripts... they don't want people treating their problems without paying them money... it was ****.. he got his license back and still practices I believe.. His book is amazing and I can't even explain how much it has helped me.. There is another book "the mood cure' by julia ross that has similiar info...
Hey, you're feeling so good you've got me sold. As soon as I can drive after this surgery I'm going to get me a copy of that book. I know you can buy it on amazon but I won't put my credit card in there so I have to buy a gift card at my bank and do it that way. Hey I love that it's working for ya hun, Keep on truckin baby.
Love, M
12 days clean c/t of norco 10 and 100ml fentanyl patches which i would eat i feel ok but just want to repair my body and lookin for ways to get energy and better sleep through vitimans to prevent another relapse.
Get the L-glutamine... and the taurine... will help rebuild the relaxing part of the brain. If you want to rebuild the pain receptor part you are gonna want to take DLPA, L-leucine, and L-methionine... they actually build the endorphins/enkelphins that are the pain center... YOu cannot take DLPA if you are on a SSRI.. If you are not.. you can take up to 2000mgs 3 times per day of that... I am taking it and it has helped with cravings...
YOu HAVE TO TAKE THESE WITH A B COMPLEX!!!!!
