My former doc ... and I'm not sure I trust him ... said the body can only absorb about 600 mg of gaba at a time and that you poop out the rest. If that's true, that would mean you should take it 6 times a day - not even possible. Could you maybe try to schedule in 5 doses?? I know I have to set my phone alarm to manage 4x a day, so 5 would be that much worse, but it's worth a try given how severe your symptoms are.
