Hi, @blueopal - I believe @raili was talking about GABA as in what is mentioned here on Web MD, which provides some helpful info on this and some things to watch out for when taking it https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/gaba-uses-and-risks.

@blueopal, I can totally see why GABA and gabapentin are hard to distinguish. It really sounds like one is a short form of the other, so it's confusing. Also, there are a number of discussions on Effexor in the same support group as this thread, the Depression and Anxiety support group. You may want to check out some of these previous discussions at https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/depression-anxiety/ or do a search on "Effexor" in the search bar at the top of any page on Mayo Clinic Connect. Another option to consider would be to start a new discussion in the Depression and Anxiety support group related to Effexor and depression and anxiety (See "Start a new discussion" a little down from the top left) about what you are experiencing.

@raili - can you confirm if what is described on Web MD is what you are asking about? Have you gotten the GABA you ordered yet? If so, how's it going?
