Who takes GABA?

[Times Roman]

........right before bed?

[SlimmerMe]

I DO!
and it helps calm me down....I take it when I remember to do so....

HAPPY NEW YEAR TIMES ROMAN!!!

[Tigershark]

Isn't this a siezure med?

I thought it was a footie ground?

i used to take it years ago, rem it was very hard to breathe when it kicked in for 5mins or so, dont know if it did much more than that though. now, its illegal brother ghb certainly did do something lol

thats gabapentin mainly used for epilepsy, it has other uses though, i use it for pain with a trapped nerve. has the benefit of ridding me of water retention as a bonus!
the supplement gaba is obviously a diff kettle of fish

GABA is NOT illegal. Look it up on Wiki. I used to take it to stimulate the pituatary to allow (hopefully) the release of HGH. Slight flush for a few minutes, and not terrible tasting.

(Thanks Slimmer! I see you up there!)

Benzodiazepine's work by releasing GABA in the brain. Used as an anti-convulsant. Common names include, xanax, ativan, klonopin.

My mistake.....
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) (pronounced /ˈɡæmə əˈmiːnoʊbjuːˈtɪrɨk ˈæsɨd/, or the acronym /ˈɡæbə/) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays a role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. In humans, GABA is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone.[2]

Although chemically it is an amino acid, GABA is rarely referred to as such in the scientific or medical communities, because the term "amino acid," used without a qualifier, conventionally refers to the alpha amino acids, which GABA is not, nor is it incorporated into proteins.

In spastic diplegia in humans, GABA absorption becomes impaired by nerves damaged from the condition's upper motor neuron lesion, which leads to hypertonia of the muscles signaled by those nerves that can no longer absorb GABA.

NeurotransmitterIn vertebrates, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes. This binding causes the opening of ion channels to allow the flow of either negatively charged chloride ions into the cell or positively charged potassium ions out of the cell. Depending on which ion channels open, the membrane potential is either hyperpolarized or depolarized. This action results in a negative change in the transmembrane potential, usually causing hyperpolarization. Two general classes of GABA receptor are known: GABAA in which the receptor is part of a ligand-gated ion channel complex, and GABAB metabotropic receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors that open or close ion channels via intermediaries (G proteins).

Neurons that produce GABA as their output are called GABAergic neurons, and have chiefly inhibitory action at receptors in the adult vertebrate. Medium Spiny Cells are a typical example of inhibitory CNS GABAergic cells. In contrast, GABA exhibits both excitatory and inhibitory actions in insects, mediating muscle activation at synapses between nerves and muscle cells, and also the stimulation of certain glands.[3] In mammals, some GABAergic neurons, such as chandelier cells, are also able to excite their glutamatergic counterparts.[4]

GABAA receptors are chloride channels; that is, when activated by GABA, they allow the flow of chloride ions across the membrane of the cell. Whether this chloride flow is excitatory/depolarizing (makes the voltage across the cell's membrane less negative), shunting (has no effect on the cell's membrane) or inhibitory/hyperpolarizing (makes the cell's membrane more negative) depends on the direction of the flow of chloride. When net chloride flows out of the cell, GABA is excitatory or depolarizing; when the net chloride flows into the cell, GABA is inhibitory or hyperpolarizing. When the net flow of chloride is close to zero, the action of GABA is shunting. Shunting inhibition has no direct effect on the membrane potential of the cell, however it minimises the effect of any coincident synaptic input essentially by reducing the electrical resistance of the cell's membrane (essentially equivalent to Ohm's law). A developmental switch in the molecular machinery controlling concentration of chloride inside the cell and hence the direction of this ion flow, is responsible for the changes in the functional role of GABA between the neonatal and adult stages. That is to say, GABA's role changes from excitatory to inhibitory as the brain develops into adulthood.[5]

[edit] DevelopmentIn hippocampus and neocortex of the mammalian brain, GABA has primarily excitatory effects early in development, and is in fact the major excitatory neurotransmitter in many regions of the brain before the maturation of glutamate synapses - See developing cortex.[5]

In the developmental stages preceding the formation of synaptic contacts, GABA is synthesized by neurons and acts both as an autocrine (acting on the same cell) and paracrine (acting on nearby cells) signalling mediator.[6][7]

GABA regulates the proliferation of neural progenitor cells[8][9] the migration[10] and differentiation[11][12] the elongation of neurites[13] and the formation of synapses.[14]

GABA also regulates the growth of embryonic and neural stem cells. GABA can influence the development of neural progenitor cells via brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression.[15] GABA activates the GABAA receptor, causing cell cycle arrest in the S-phase, limiting growth.[16]

it stimulates the pituatary if taken before bed on empty stomach and supposedly helps release additional HGH

[Hazard]

gaba is an ingrediant in a shot that I take sometimes..... one shot on an empty stomach mimics the effects that it's "illegal brother" give you..... two full shots on an empty stomach and you can't walk straight lol.

Right now it's still legal.... it's called "Potion 9" and it's a pink liquid - it also helps you sleep..... it's actually very very very similar to it's "illegal brother"

i was quite partial to the 'illegal brother' lol.

just had a look on amazon , pretty expensive stuff, its brother was loads cheaper

LMFAO! As was I my friend! Still am

The potion 9 shots are an alternative..... i believe they're marketed as a mood enhancer and are supposed to help wean people off alcohol and other drugs.....atleast thats the guise they give. They can definately give you a very very similar effect..... but you're right..... it's definately more expensive.

lol, i had to stop, i was at it 7 nights a week and waking up in some strange fookin places, the front garden, the dogs basket in the shed etc!!! it absolutely ate the bf off me though

is this all cryptic speak? what is potion 9? and illegal brother? what does this have to do with gaba? am I missing something here? please explain

GABA is Gamma Amino Butyric Acid

It's Illegal brother is Gamma Hydroxy Butyric Acid

Potion-9 shots are a legal alternative to the illegal ghb.

Gaba helps with sleep but doesn't give you too much of a "buzzed" feeling. It's illegal brother would make you feel drunk. Thats the best way to describe it..... it impairs you but it's also said to release hgh in your sleep. It allows you to sleep less while feeling like you slept more.

I do not condone the use of this illegal brother...... and i'm only bringing it up to explain the difference between gaba, the illegal substance, and the potion-9 shots.

Can it be slipped into a drink and go undetected ? Just ummmmm...curious..yea curious.

Been having some troubles sleeping... hmm

Yea pretty much. When added to alcohol.... it's practically tasteless. This is primarily why it was banned...... scumbags were date raping women with it.

you don't need to add anything to my drink sessy

Ok then. I was talking about GABA, as this too triggers an HGH response if taking on an empty stomach right before bed.

It's cheap and you buy in bulk.

I have a 13 hour flight coming up from DC to Dubai in, get this, in ECONOMY class!! Sh1t, might as well roll out the red carpet!!! I thought I'd have to fly LUGGAGE class, or worse yet, LANDING GEAR AREA class.

Back in the day, i'd just smuggle a bottle of jack on the plane and fall asleep. Now I have to figure something else out. Any ideas?

yep, 1 teaspoon and its happy days, 2 teaspoons and its 'fvck, ive just slept for 4hrs straight, and where the fvck am i?'
it was an expermental anesthetic years ago but was to volatile, unpredictable and habit forming so they chucked it. its one of the most common date rape drugs unfortunatley

Bump for Haz...

been researching these Potion 9 'mood enhancer' shots. Found a few online but don't see any indication of them containing GABA... is it possible they changed the formula? Actually, they contain 200mg caffeine - hardly gonna help you sleep.

There were a few different labels though, so i'm not sure which is right, or if they're the same, etc. One had a cartoon cat on it, another had a genie looking guy like the one in the movie BIG, lol.

I picked up some Dream Water today from Walmart which does have GABA... but it's a 'proprietary blend' 150mg of GABA, melatonin, and some form of tryptophan - 150mg? wtf? I'll update with whether or not it works in any event.

[SlimmerMe]

I take 750 mgs of Gaba Gbrice....every night so I doubt 150 is enough...

[Twist]

1,500mgs once or twice a week here.

[Times Roman]

1kg is under $40

I take a scoop before bed. 1 scoop = 1gram

therefore

$40 = 3 yr supply

$13/year

$1/mo

or three cents a scoop

in round numbers, of course

Both of those labels were potion 9's..... they recently switched to the cartoon cat one. The labels I have show GABA as an ingrediant...... It also shows kanna 2:1 and I believe that is the ingrediant that makes you foggy or a little "dizzy" so to speak. I also know it says 200mg's caffeine but I swear i've never felt energized from these things lol! They aren't FDA regulated either so they can pretty much say w/e the fvck they want.

150mg of a 'proprietary blend' consisting of GABA, Melatonin, and Tryptophan. I never understood this - are they claiming that between these 3 'ingredients', they total 150mg?

So i'm assuming powder is the way to go, vs pill form then?

Thanks Haz, i'll have to find them in person hopefully. Here's what i'm finding online:

Ingredients:
Kanna 10:1(Scelitium Tortosum), Beta-Phenylethylamine HCL, Caffeine Anhydrous, Hordanine Citric Acid, Stevia, 5-HTP (95%), Yohimbine HCL, Vinpocetin, , Sugar, Artifical Flavor, Artifical Color, Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate.

Other Ingredients
Vitamin B-6 25 mg, Vitamin C 200mg, Sodium 45mg.

Inactive Ingredients:
Water

shrug... maybe they've removed GABA for some reason.
