User Reviews for gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba)

500mg GABA gave me breathing difficulties, as if I could not inhale a breath all of the way. I tried taking it a couple of times to be sure that's what caused it. Scary feeling.

effective at 100mg twice a day at morning and late afternoon

I took a 750 Mg capsule at bedtime and got a terrific night of deep sleep. However, the next day I had a terrible rebound reaction. My colon went into extremely painful spasms, which exacerbated my pelvic nerve pain condition. Be very careful about using this supplement, especially if you have a sensitive gut due to ibs.

Gaba is a great supplement for stress, anxiety and sleep. It works well and compliments my combo I take of supplements. B vitamins help increase the effect of Gaba as well, just making aware to ppl that it helps cross blood brain barrier! Liftmode is my go to place for supplements and as always they never let me down.

As an adult I have trouble going and staying asleep because I am thinking about what I need or would like to do. I notice a marked difference when taking GABA in the evening and when I forget to. Went from 5-6 hours a night to over 7 just like that, I cannot correlate any other aspects of the supplement with certainty. I am taking 325 mg a few hours before sleeping. I felt the full 750mg recommended was too strong - 190 lb 56 year old male with no conditions or medications

Taking it for stress caused by work, do more with less. I also have trouble sleeping. The GABA puts me in a relaxed mood that is conducive to good sleep.

I have read that Gaba would not be effective crossing the Brain Barrier this has not been the case for me, I use it for stress and anxiety it always calms me down

4 year old receive 100 mg three days in a row and heard popping in back of head, had violent outburst and memory loss, now has sleep apneas that are prolonged and severe. this medication should not be given to children.

Started taking this while I was in school to help with my focus and anxiety. I saw my grades go up and began to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I now work in an extremely stressful field, and find that my GABA helps me to prioritize and not stress as badly. When I start to feel anxiety creep back in, I take a second dose and quickly feel the tension ease. I've tried convincing doctors for years that I needed something for anxiety and ADHD, to no avail. GABA has opened up a new world for me.Read More Read Less

I have been taking half the recommended dose and have experienced positive results. I feel calmer, more able to deal with day to day stress. I plan to begin taking two a day

I read some reviews and thought I would try it. Anxiety suppressed, if one likes to feel like they got hit in the head with a bat. Did not help my sleep at all. I read where some guy woke up stiff as a board; me, I got a first time ever major sprain in my right calf the first half mile of an easy 6 miler I was taking today....fully rested, it just went bwang! for no reason at all. This stuff may be kind of dangerous. Be careful when you drive. Batter up!

It does not help me�I am stress all day my body hurts was dianose artritis osteosporosis. Familiy problems I use sometimes sleep aids I became lazy want to stay at home 66 years old. Now I have allergies

I started taking a combo of L-Theanine and GABA this week. I often take L-Theanine for "monkey mind." When I ran out, I bought a new brand that had 500mg of GABA. I am sleeping very well and am able to go right back to sleep if I wake up. I do feel a little drowsy in the morning so I'm going to halve my dose because I'm a pretty small person (125 lbs). It seems to have an overall calming effect without clouding my thoughts. I've had vivid dreams, but I often do, so I can't say yet if it's because of the GABA.Read More Read Less

Works as well as Ativan for insomnia. Just don't take both!

I have taken this for moderate anxiety and it has been great! The pediatrician for my grandson recommended it for him for ADHD and said his son takes it also. Good referral!

I have been taking GABA at night with my anti depressant Trazodone and have been for about 2 weeks as prescribed by my doctor. I was taking 500 mg. at night and was told to take 750 mg. I just received my Puritans pride 750 in the mail and took it last night with the Trazodone. I slept better than normal which is about 4 hours but woke up with a lot of stuff going on in my head. It seems like I over medicated, I didn't feel refreshed. I will continue to experiment with the dose and maybe will take the GABA earlier in the evening and the Trazodone at bedtime. It should be noted that I take both products at bed a half hour before sleep . It definitely helps the racing mind. I hope this helps you and hope that I can find a happy medium ....Read More Read Less

I took Gabba calm last night for the 1st time. I took it for fibro and insomnia. I woke up with very stiff and sore muscles. Im wondering if enyone else had this problem and if it goes away after being on it awhile
