In reply to Is GABA supplement worthless?, posted by qbsbrown on April 7, 2009, at 17:29:29
I do think GABA is rather worthless for anxiety. I've tried it countless times, and it did nothing special. On the other hand, when I was taking Ativan (a benzodiazepine like Valium), I started taking L-glutamine 500mg per day, and I noticed that they both complemented each other very well. No depression. No anxiety. A little more energy. That's my experience. Whether GABA would help with a Valium withdrawal I cannot say. I doubt it, though. You might do much better taking Niacinamide (not Niacin) than GABA to help you ease off the Valium.
