Started 200 mg of pharma gaba two nights ago and it has made a significant difference. Years I took small dose of lorazepam and weened off last year and been trying more natural solutions to no avail. I am hopeful with gaba!

@sophiek I have had very different experiences with Gabapentin, the drug, which can have severe withdrawal, and GABA the OTC supplement. It is so common now for people to use "gaba" as short for Gabapentin that no one online anymore seems to know GABA is not the same 🙁

I'm curious as to why you stopped taking Lorazepam? Did it quit working for you? Or did you simply want to get off of it? As long as it helps my sleep, I would like to keep taking it. Tried lots of different things that either didn't work or gave me bad side effects. I feel taking a low dose of Lorazepam (a benzo med that alot of doctors feel is very bad) is okay and helps tremendously with sleep, which is extremely important to someone's overall health.
