Anyone use GABA for sleep?

Posted by aethos @aethos, May 16, 2022

Does anyone here use/ has used GABA for sleep? I have weaned my self off Ambien and would like to do the same with trazodone.

I take gabapentin for insomnia. I've been battling insomnia for 30 years. Gabapentin is effective. If I'm having a bad night, I'll take .5 mg Klonopin(clonezepam) with the gabapentin and sleep really solid. I used to take Ambien, and Belsomra but would only sleep for 4 hours a night. While on Active Duty Army I was on Ativan(lorazepam), and it worked well, but can be habit forming.

I take 300mg for nerve issues. Have burning pain in my legs and sometimes whole body burns.
Takes a couple of hours to get relief. Prior planning when to take!
