I tried it briefly some time back. It seemed to conflict in some way with the meds. However, it has been a long time and I am not sure that I was using plain GABA as opposed to a formulation that included other ingredients. So, give it a try but watch for conflicts.

I ask because it is one of the main inhibitory neurotransmitters and may help calm things down. For every article I find that says it doesn't easily cross the BBB, I find another that says it does! Aahh!
