Common Questions and Answers about Prozac and gaba
prozac
I personaly dont agree with A.Ds "ssris, snris, all of em"
My theroy is that people with anxiety are over stimulated as a result from Higher production of Seritonin, Norepinephrine, Dopeamine, and the onder production of GABA.
A.D's make those certian nerotransmitter more sensitive, creating worse panic.
And of course the GABA definently can keep up with the other 3 nerotransmitters because it already had a unhealthy lowered functioning level.
Wow this withdrawal is sooo hard. I was taking Prozac for panic attacks and OCD. I was being brave but didn't mentally prepare for this. I haven't really slept in the last week and have been having major stomach problems and OCD. I also have this weird thing where I stop breathing and when I realize I've stopped breathing I would take a big breath and that is almost every 5 minutes, and it happens in my sleep too.
Technically, no, you can't take them both, as almost all of the ingredients of Serelax target GABA -- it even includes GABA, though it's worthless as it doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier very often when taken as a supplement -- and benzos also target GABA.
At any rate, good luck -- finding an antidepressant that works is trial and error -- when I took Prozac and Zoloft I could have been drinking water, I felt no different -- no effects, no side effects. It's all an individual thing in how well we metabolize medication. And one other thing -- psychiatrists are actually more poorly trained in the science of mental illness than psychologists.
When taken in doses of 50-500 mg, Valerian extract can help you feel more relaxed and less worried. It usually works quickly after about 30 minutes, and unlike anti-anxiety drugs, Valerian is not addictive. High-quality natural anxiety medications contain Valerian extract that's standardized to contain at least 0.8% of valerenic acid, the active constituent.
L-theanine, an amino acid extracted from Green Tea, is a third natural anxiety medication with a pronounced anti-anxiety effect.

No, it wouldn't be safe to take GABA if you're on klonopin. Klonopin works on GABA receptors and you could overdo it. Besides which, GABA is not well absorbed as a supplement. The best way to get GABA into the system is using L-Taurine, which along with B6 manufactures GABA. However, to do this, you'd have to be careful since you're taking Klonopin.
During my 15th yr. at 20mg prozac I suffered a panic attack and Dr. upped my dose to 40 then 60mg. Did not have another panic attack, but could not overcome the anticipatory fear of having another attack. Dr. included 50 BID of Lyrica three weeks ago and I'm feeling normal again. Anyone have any experience with lyrica?
I may be wrong but this combo works for me... I also have GAD and it has gotten worse over the past 2 years as well. To the point of having actual panic attacks. I haven't tried any AD's because I'm afraid of side effects.
I take 5-HTP at night (50mg.) I don't take it for the anxiety tho. I take it for my "gloomy's". I get a bit depressed when I don't feel good because of my anxiety. I get anxiety induced nausea.
High level of glutamate could lead to depression and OCD. High levels of norepinephrine is linked to anxiety and stress and low levels to fatigue. Finally a lack of serotonin could cause all the symptoms mentioned above.
Diet, hormones and estrogen levels have key roles in regulating all those neurotransmitters. So doing physical activities, having a healthy diet, getting enough sleep will help.
What's the differences between CNS depression? May i know what's the causes of depression? Does it relate to the neurotransmitter? Diazepam is an anti-depressant? It enhances the effect of GABA by binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA A-receptor. After binding to the receptor, may i know what's the next mechanism? GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter? If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure?
hi, for the most part I do not think that the beer nullified the medication that is already in your system, but you also have to keep in mind that it also depends the amount of dosage you're on, and how long you've been taking it. Although most doctor's don't suggest you drink while on AD'S I also drink and i'm taking Prozac. I will however agree with you that the days after having fun and drinking copious amounts of alcohol can leave you feeling down and anxious.
I speak for myself when I say that after 4 years in dark depression I really am not seeking to be happy but rather only to find a place that is out of the dark despair. I went through half a dozen meds before finding one that worked. I think a therapist or counselor is a complete right first step. And yes I did try Gaba, St. John's Wort, Sam-E, and vitamin B, none of which made a dent in my depression.
I am taking herbal supplements called SAMe because I realized I am depressed as well, and I am thinking about taking GABA also to help with anxiety. (I read about these supplements on a book called healing anxiety and depression) I feel that my depression is not as bad anymore since I started taking SAMe but my question is, how long should I expect to have these physical symptoms?
Hi!
We used to have some Health Forums on the right side. One of them was about all the foods that help bring up the Dopamine. Like Beets, Eggs, Cottage Cheese, and so forth. I can not remember them all. I do know that Walnuts are a Brain food (this is why they look like a brain).
Protien and Amino Acids are great.
I also read many yrs ago about these 3 herbs.( to help build the Brain Chemistry).
First, if you're on any drug such as benzos or neurontin that target GABA don't take this. Second, GABA supplements don't usually cross the blood/brain barrier, so they don't usually work. The best way to supplement for GABA, assuming you're not on medication that targets it, is to take the pseudo amino acid taurine and B6, which together with other co-factors make GABA in the body.
I was reading what someothers said, giving me some hopes.How long does the withdrawel syptems last.I am taking it day by day, and the only way i can try and perk up is I try and say, "it'll get better", just stick to it. THe depressions is the worst, shakes, cold, hot, in the mornings, can't sleep at all at night, VERY moody. i quit , today is my 4 day cold turkey.
Adderall's effects are felt during the first day of using it. The question is do you like or support well amphetamines (Adderall in your case)?
It's not like you need a month to know if it'll help or not. Amphetamines are directly affecting your dopamine and noradrenaline levels and those effects are quite easy to see during even your first day using the drug.
The problem is directly related to your Xanax and Adderall combination.
I would suggest going to a natural food store or supplements food store and try to find some GABA and Melatonin. I found GABA ( ok i know it's a receptor's name too ) today when i went to the store and i didn't know about it. I didn't do any research yet on the product but it seems to be good for anxiety and a good stress releiver.
Also i would suggest Melatonin before you go to bed to promote better and refreshing sleep which can help regulate your serotonin.
