Thank you. I'm taking 200mg at bedtime and 100mg morning and noon for trigeminal neuralgia. I had one really bad 10 minutes of terrible pain before taking gaba. Since them the sensitivity around my eye where the pain is located gradually went away. The neurological surgeon I saw said to experiment with the dosage until the pain subsided. What I'm trying to figure out is 1) did the gaba stop the pain and 2) will the gaba prevent another severe event. I am 80 yrs old and the doc said that in older people, the frequency of events increases.

My son takes 900mg a day for peripheral ploy neuropathy and after a half days work falls asleep at the drop of a hat. This with depression drugs . I wonder if anyone has this sleep issue with gaba and/ loss of appetite? He’s 6’4”, 240 and only 50 yrs old but is doing good to consume 500 calories a day
