> Lar...do you know of a good website (i.e. one that is not pushing to sell) re: amino acids and psychiatry?
No, not literally. I had a good link, but now you have to pay to read their work.
If you have the patience to wade through the indexes, you can get lots of information here:

New regulations came into effect on Jan. 1.
> I can even now buy Melatonin at 5-6 bucks at Shoppers Drug Mart. What about the 'calming' Aminos like L-Taurine and GABA, and their uses? These are also nice and cheap now, so I'd like to really experiment. Thanks!

> JayI think that there has been a lot of talk on this board recently about oral GABA. Taurine is a very interesting subject. I do plan to give it a whirl, but I'm currently involved in other treatment experiments, so I have to wait. Taurine regulates thyroid function, and influences HPA hormone interactions. It's definitely got activity. I just haven't yet nailed down the specifics. It is calming, no doubt.
