Anyone taken GABA? What were the effects it had on you good and/or bad?

Thank you!

I have heard of it, there was actually a post started in Alternative Medicine just a few days ago about it.... But I was thinking about it too...

hi girls -i stared the post in 'alternative' and I believe that it's helping me. I seem to be taking time out in the last few days to 'rest' and have cat naps and I don't feel so stressed! I am only taking about 200 mgs. seems to keep me a little calmer for a few hours.(morning) It is 8:30 (night ) and I just tried about 100 mgs. to see if it relaxes me for the rest of the evening. I am also taking about 400. mgs of magnesium. I must say - I don't seem to feel so 'overwhelmed' in the past few days.have a great night! hugs, Princess

I tried GABA, but it really didn't do much for stress/tension. I now use L-Theanine for stress. I went into my local health food store to see if there was some other "majic" cure for menopause, insomnia, etc. A woman, probably in her 50's, suggested I try this. I really think it helps relax me. It was relatively cheap so give it a try!
