It had some effect for me allowing me to sleep a little deeper. I take about .25 klonopin at night and was trying to find a way to enhance that. Unless there are GABA receptors outside the BBB (is the limbic system outside the BBB?) or I've heard in some cases of CFS the patient suffers from an increased permeability of the BBB which could explain why some can benefit from GABA. L-Glutamine seems to have about the same effect for me as GABA.
Theanine definitely works for me better than anything else GABA related. On the flip side down regulating NMDA is supposed to do the same thing which would call for Magnesium and Taurine (that I know of).
