GABA

[Indigo]

Have any of you used GABA successfully with your PANDAS kiddos? I found a PharmaGrade quick acting GABA today at the store--it's chewable and tastes good--very calming!!

Indigo,

 

What store did you get this at? I'm willing to try it. What mg's are you giving your dd.

I got it at a local store but here it is on amazon:

I read about GABA in Dr. Amen's Healing ADD book. I'm going to try it with my son who has frontal lobe difficulties...speech and language, which is also related to ADD type 4-which includes symptoms such as mild paranoia and irritability. Also with my PANDAS dd. I wonder if Dr. Amen has seen research on PANDAS since writing his book since he has taken so many pictures of people's brains to include in his work.

Just wanted to say that this did not work well for my PANDAS dd...it is working good for my son, though, with speech disorder.

 

It made my dd more edgy, and then with further reading I realized it works similar to Klonopin, which is a med that she freaked out on when they tried to give it to her to sedate her for an fMRI.
