GABA and sleep

I'm sorry, I deleted this because of a post that followed.

Here is some of the info (and more) that I posted earlier.

Explains about GABA -- why it's good for you and what particular groups it can treat.

GABA and health
Promote better sleep - GABA promotes relaxation and induces better sleep by easing anxiety
Epilepsy - a link has been made to low GABA levels and epileptic seizures in some patients - in these cases, extra GABA appeared to inhibit nerve cells in the brain from firing and setting off seizures.
Chronic pain - stress can aggravate pain, making it feel worse. As a natural stress-reducer, GABA supplements can help to relieve the intensity of pain and as it reduces the pain-related nerve impulses to make the sensation of feeling pain a lesser experience
ADHD - GABA is effective in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Depression - some evidence suggests that GABA may have mood-elevating properties
Panic attacks - it has been suggested that a shortage of GABA may cause panic attacks, since an intake of tranquilizers can decrease the level of GABA in the body
PMS - GABA may also be effective in treating PMS (premenstrual syndrome) in women

GABA and sleep

:thanks:Beatle! Very interesting site and I've bookmarked it. I am on Paxil, with no side effects I can see other than very mild headache at times, and there is good info there. I think it does help me sleep--I take it around 7:00 p.m.
When I was drinking, I tried L-Trytophan, Melatonine, GABA and alwsy fell asleep okay, but woke two to three hours later. But that had to be mostly due to the alcohol. I now try to remember to take my Calcium and a product called Ionic Fizz with magnesium, as a friend told me it does help with sleep issues and can help balance blood sugar levels. I got mine on Amazon.
Thanks for sharing so much information! I appreciate all your posts.
