Taking GABA supplements by themselves won't work too well, since they don't really cross over into the blood brain barrier

I wonder if you would experience anything if you bought one of those Afrin nasal sprays from a drug store, emptied the contents, mixed some GABA with water, and sprayed it up your nose. That sorta bypasses the BBB, so who knows.

Try drinking tea. L-theanine is part of the production of GABA. Unfortunately, the calming effects of drinking tea don't last very long but it's very good for what it is and what it costs.

hi, that's yet another example of how "experts" are wrong

I'd found that if I take more and more, I eventually get a good effect in about 30 minutes. It starts with a flush to the skin. Then there would be some inhibition of the blushing and sweating reflex.

It'd also make my pupils dilated.

If you like, I can check and then post back with what dose I remember using. I haven't used GABA since I found propranolol, which is much more powerful.
