I mention in the April 10 supplement list comment that I was considering completely tapering off GABA and tryptophan. I started the taper April 12 by taking those every day-and-a-half for two weeks, then every two days for four weeks and am now taking them every third day. I haven't noticed any withdrawal effects. (Remember, I started this discontinuation process April 2018 and went into withdrawal about six weeks later. It took months to come up with a supplement regimen that mitigated my anxiety and akathisia and allowed me to feel/function normally. I started out taking these FIVE times a day; it took years to work down to once a day.)
