So you are taking arginine and believe that you may have issues with utilizing it in your body, or, you just want to start things like p5p to better utilize arginine? I just recently added p5p back into my regimen mainly to enhance the absorption of amino acids like arginine. I hope though that it is assisting in mood/anxiety issues but it's really hard to tell. I take a smaller than suggested amount, splitting my 50 mg round tables in fourths or eighths.
I think magnesium glycinate could definitely be helpful with sleep. Either way, a little extra magnesium may just be a good addition to a general health maintenance regimen. Have you tried glycine by itself? I know Carlson sells a powder.
Lyrica is more powerful than Gabapentin, so it likely can be more toxic. Over on Mind and Muscle, Lyrica is spoken of as being a much more effective sleep aid than Gabapentin. I don't think anyone over there that uses does so every night as there is some fear over tolerance and other potential issues. I know drugs like Gabapentin and Lyrica have the potential to enhance slow wave sleep.
