Are you using the term "gaba" for gabapentin? Amitriptyline is often used for nerve pain, like gabapentin is. This leads me to think that your use of the term here is an abbreviation for gabapentin.

GABA is another thing entirely... it is a neurotransmitter in the nervous system.

Gabapentin does not have GABA actions ..the name is misleading.
