Do you mean Kavinace?

"phenybut" is a GABA agonist, and works like benzos (valium, etc) only weaker. It would have mild anti -anxiety effects.

Kavinace also has Taurine in it.

Kavinace ULTRA has slightly different ingredients.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes Kavinace. So the reason why I feel almost pain free is because of the Phenybut? So it's like a pain killer?
I would actually it rather heal me instead of masking the symptoms! But pain free is good now.

Thank you

Possibly... our PN posters sometimes use benzos for nerve pain.
But benzos are habituating, and the Kavinace not so.

Gaba agonists increase inhibitory nerve balance, and will reduce pain center activity in the brain. This is a mild effect, and you may find it wears off with time.

Dear Mrs. D .

What do you mean it increases inhibitory nerve balance? And will it really wear off over time? I will be purchasing my second bottle of it. But it's very expensive So do you think I should continue it ? I need somehting for anxiety and stress and sleep quality and was recommended L-Tryptophan but my Chiropractic Neurogloist suggests I hold off on it and continue with the Kavinance.

Thank you!

I'm curious if you continued taking the Kavinace and if it remained effective for your pain. I have taken it for anxiety and sometimes it helps and other times it doesn't.

I'm not sure about Taurine for sleep, but it does have an effect on GABA and everything is all tied together in the brain. I was actually advised to take straight GABA for sleep.

Interestingly, the GABA apparently crosses the blood brain barrier in some people and not in others. So you can take it and if it makes you sleepy you have the right physiology and it can actually be a very effective sleep aid. I will find out soon if it works for me. Any anti-anxiety effect would be an added bonus as this is much cheaper than Kavinace.

HappyC,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Bluehiroko has not been on NT in almost a year. This thread has not been responded to since May of 2013.

At the price of Kavinace, not many had a willingness to try it. NeuroScience, the manufacturer, is not very forthcoming about it.

Taurine deficiency is not common except in vegetarians.

Do you suffer from Post Concussion Syndrome ?
