I am rereading this thread today. And I think I am seeing GABA being used as an abbreviation for gabapentin?

GABA also refers to the gaba receptors (and Benzos work on that receptor system). Gabapentin, while it has the first four letters...
"gaba" is totally different. GABA supplements are very different from gabapentin.

It is best to type out what drug family you are referring to:
GABA or gabapentin. I know it is confusing.

Gabapentin and Lyrica belong to the class of anticonvulsants.

Gaba drugs are typically Benzodiazepines (Valium and Klonopin).
