Default White rat report - GABA

Abstract: The bloomin' stuff seems to work!

<This is a preliminary report at just the 24 hour mark, so be prepared for me to discover something horrible or something.>

Someone posted a question about GABA a few weeks ago and that, combined with my wife's swearing by it, prompted me to start it yesterday and, I must admit, I am pleased. It has a "smoothing" effect and has quieted that irritating internal tremor feeling. It also has greatly lessened the clenched muscle sensation. Most surprisingly of all, it almost immediately improved my GI function, not only the bowel but the stomach too! That's important because that is a part of the nervous system that includes a lot of important stuff like your heart beating.

I think it is improving the effect of the other meds, although I will withhold any conclusion on that for a few days.

Onward! <said with a defiant rattle of whiskers>
