Default High on my list of "to try"
GABA seems a strong possibility for the tool box. My wife (non-PD) has been taking it daily for six months or more for anxiety and it works wonders for her. Anything that counters anxiety is worth a look.

Hmm. Just went to Medline to paste in some fascinating verbage of some sort only to find that, for a major neurotransmitter, there has been surprisingly little done. Sigh, the profit motive strikes again.

Does anyone know any thing about this? Would it be a good idea to take GABA for the imbalance (supposed) between dopamine and acetylcholine in PD? I can't translate the chemistry articles..

ZF? Ol'CS? Olsen?

Thanks for any insight... Ibby
