BulkSupplements.com GABA Powder - Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, GABA Supplement, Amino Acid Supplement - Gluten Free, 750mg per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I suffer from anxiety and insomnia and occasional depression. I am trying to keep off of prescription medications and medications with side effects as much as possible. Read about GABA and based on other's reviews decided to give this a try. I like the fact that it's in bulk form - quite a savings. Generally in the morning I am severely anxious and feel depressed (have read this is caused by high cortisol levels upon awakening). On the very first day I tried this, upon waking in a very agitated state, I took the recommended starting dose with water. Taste is not bad. This gets into your system fast. Within 15 minutes I started feeling more relaxed and anxiety melted away. By 30 minutes I felt like "everything is going to be OK" and was able to begin working without feeling groggy. I am now taking it in the morning and before bed. I do sleep better but it's not magic bullet. Just eases your mind. Start at a low dosage. I moved up too quickly and felt a bit...giddy or too "up" (although you won't get a feeling of being high). Having taken various anti-anxiety meds over the years, I was amazed that GABA helps ease anxiety very subtly. I do not seem to be building a tolerance (not needing to increase dosage). My moods have evened out and I am more rested and nicer! Will buy again.

Good

The product has arrived. It is a good product. Thank you very much.

I had been suffering with nocturnal panic attacks for 7 years (panic attacks that wake you up from your sleep). They are terrible and scary. I would wake up with my heart racing, terrified of SOMETHING, no idea what, my hands and feet would be tingling, my mouth dry, having difficulty catching my breath. Since I had been asleep, I was often delirious and confused so my first instinct initially would be to call 911. At the ER, the doctors would prescribe Benzos, which I didn't want to take. I knew Mother Earth had the cure, so I began to study herbalism and became a clinical Herbalist! Unfortunately I had gotten so used to these panic attacks that I would develop anxiety when it got dark in anticipation of bedtime. Sometimes they'd last an hour or so and other times I'd fall back asleep only to have another one. I had no choice but to accept this nightmare as a part of my journey. I started to incorporate what I'd learned from herbalism which included adaptogenic herbs and nervine herbs to calm me before bed. I even started practicing what my therapist has suggested which was journaling and meditating and creating a routine before bed which included a warm bath, in order to prepare my body for a more sound sleep. These techniques, while they helped, they didn't completely stop the nocturnal panic attacks and I was tired and weary. Finally after a YouTuber mentioned using GABA and L-theanine to stop panic attacks, I decided to give it a try. This GABA WORKED! After only 3 doses (I added 1/16th of a teaspoon to my chamomile tea before bed) the panic attacks completely stopped! It was like some sort of a miracle! I will always keep this on hand for the rest of my life. I never wanted to take the benzos that the doctors in the ER urged me to take. The warning labels scared me, as they said these drugs could cause suicidal thoughts. I'm a single mom due to my daughter's father's heroine addiction and I refuse to leave her with two addict parents. Rx drugs only put a bandaid on symptoms but they don't cure anything. Thank God for natural remedies. I am so sure about this product that I decided to start a blog about my journey with these awful panic attacks and the medicinal herbs and lifestyle changes that have helped quell them. I haven't published the blog yet because I'm still learning how to write a blog on Skillshare at the moment, but I can't wait to help more people find peace in their lives. The blog will be called Seeking Serenitea when it's ready. In the meantime, I sincerely hope this review helps people find serenity. No one should feel that agonizing fear. Best of luck to you!

Very effective in calming down my anxiety. It keeps me relax and help with my sleep.
