Natural factors used to make it, but Amazon stopped carrying it in the capsule while I was on vacation. I just ordered the newer company called PharmaGaba Gold.

GABA is antianxiety and not supposed to work orally, but this one seems to....made a different way using a natural source.
I tend to be anxious at night, and sometimes upNorth in the spooky dark woods on vacation too.

I find it very calming without hangover or side effects. When I was a wreck I used it twice a day, but now only one at bedtime.
The new brand is slightly less expensive than the old Natural Factors was.

Houdini? Is that the name of the cat that went missing? I remember you being worried about this, yes, back in May. I'm so sorry he/she never turned up.

I'm originally from Wisconsin, and have spent some short periods of time in northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Really beautiful places, they are.

Wow, well I can really feel the vitamin C kick in. I will be sure to be careful on megadosing anything now, given what I've learned today. I am always worried about my B12 deficiency issue (never in a million years thought a simple vitamin could wreak so much havoc on the system, but, if we think about it, these are the types of things people used to DIE from - scurvy, pellagra, etc...), and my nervous system after years of antidepressant poisoning. Wondering how this will all heal, but, time... time... time is probably the best medicine with regards to all of this.

MrsD, thank you for everything!

Yes, it was Houdini... We adopted a new kitty upNorth. A barn cat and she has taken most of the pain away.
Tough to tame her though, but now she is delightful. Wednesday is her spay. I guess I'll be taking two PharmaGaba caps on Wednesday. I have her photos in my album here.
We had to put Oreo to sleep 3 days before our vacation as her cancer came out of remission with a bang, and we couldn't take her up there the way she was. sigh. It was so sad. She was 14.
She had a rare cancer with a rapid course, but our new Vet kept her active and enjoying life for year. (prognosis was 2mos).
A friend of ours runs a rescue/spay non profit up there, so I contacted her and she picked the best kitten for us and saved her until we could pick her up. I told her a black was okay as long as shorthair with intelligence and nice personality. Weezie here has become Maya's surrogate mother and friend, and you should see them together...Maya adores her. Weezie was kind of lost without Oreo too, so having Maya was good for her as well. It was tricky being up there with a kitten, but since Maya hid most of the time she never tried to escape and all went well. The trip home was unpleasant tho, but they have to learn sometime! Lots of carrying on and crying. HOURS of it.

I really think that the effervescent and soluble liquid forms orally work very fast. AlkaSeltzer works in minutes too.

Emergen C has a loyal following of customers too!
