> A couple of reasons why I would try it. I got a free sample of the PharmaGaba and I have read a thread here that has me wondering about the whole blood brain barrier issue. Here's the thread if you're interested. The posts I'm referring to within this thread were written by Larry Hoover and Chemist.

Ive read cases where it can,but they weigh in with a low oppostion.Still i bought it,so if there is no danger and its something you feel you want to do then by all means.
Larry hoover posted some outstanding stuff still scattered amongst google grouped arcives,and if the other person waa a gent by the name chem-r-us then although passed he really posted some intense postings.
Just a tid bit,the "horrendous" date rape drug GHB was greated or discovered by a chemisct you might say was obsessed with gaba.In reading he even went to the extent of injectorial gaba to bypass the problem,he ended up obviously with add a strong carrier such as a hydroxide to the molecule to carry it into the brain.He also saw the importance of dopamine,and it was this same man who introduced thorazine to hospitals in a beat the clock effort to stop the barberic lobotomys going on then as well as life long sentences the mentally ill were getting in these hospitals,he strongly believed gaba/dopamine played some important role in the minds of the mentaly ill.
Also just a second fyi,Taurine which DOES cross the brain,indirectly increases gaba levels and also has mood stablizining effects of its own,its defintaly an over the counter amino worth reading into if youre intersted in gaba.
