I read about GABA in _Prescription for Nutritional Healing_, an excellent
info source on amino acids and herbs. Very plainly written. I recommend
it highly. There's a section on Smart drugs, for those so inclined
GABA has been prescribed as a non-addictive alternative to Valium and
such, in combination with Inositol and B-3. Being strung about 20% too
high, I figured I'd give it a try. First thing I obeserved? It's costly
in the dosages recommended by the book. I found a place to order the
GABA, inositol, and B-3 seperately, reducing daily dosage cost to about
$2. No way I'm packing capsules, so I just pop 2 GABA (900 mil), 2 B-3
(1 gram), and about 2 ts of inositol (2 grams or so) The numbers seem
large, but the book recommends this twice a day.
Results: Plenty of chill. I seem less annoyed by shit. I sleep like a
log, and (?!) remember my dreams. A book on Lucid Dreaming should be an
interesting experiment to run concurrently. Combined wiht Pot? I dunno,
I smoke infrequently. Alcohol seems slightly magnified.
A buddy of mine takes a lesser dosage of GABA in combination with a
medium dose of antioxidants, per the same book, as a Smart drug. He
reports quicker on-your-feet thinking. 'Course, his story is as anecdotal
as mine.
A posting here regarding addictive properties and long-range probs with
this regimen netted only one reply, by a guy who sounded reasonable, but
called himself a generalist and said he was not a pharmacist or chemist.
He thought GABA might have some addictive qualities because (I'm fuzzy on
the exact wording) a chemical similarity to Xanax, the prescription tranq.
Any comments or suggestions? If you experiment with this regimen, post
back to me on your experiences, willya? I'm way curious. Thanks!
