Anyone use GABA for sleep?

After my stroke on Christmas Eve, 2018, I couldn't sleep, mainly due to pain.

I tried gaba a couple of years ago. It didn't seem to help much.

But in fairness, I've tried everything I could think of, and nothing helped much.

Well, except for hydrocodone. I had a couple left over from some dental work. But I won't be able to get any more of that, now that opioids are public enemy number one.

And I'm still not sleeping well.

I'd try doxylamine succinate (sells as "Sleep Aid") sold at Costco in a 2-bottle pack) along with melatonin - like 5 mg. The doxylamine succinate (25 mg) is an antihistamine with sleepiness as a side effect. Start with half a tablet to avoid morning grogginess.
