The comment you made about what klonopin does to your brain chemistry....were you provided any links to share?
As far as natural.......i think this whole idea is overated.
Most people,myself one of them who try natural routes are taking yess natural substances,however are far far from taking it in a natural way,or providing it to the body and brain in a natural way.
Over loading vitamins,minerals,aminos,herbs, etc are still altering the normal process of the brain.How does one see over loading on gaba,providing the brain with an abundance of it,consider this natural.This is the idea behind a drug,to alter the brains normal sequeance to achieve a feeling.
Bodybuilding groups often talk about how neccasry it is to cycle amino loading,so as to resotore a balance and give the brain time off from a "unnatural" abduance of a chemical.Yess drugs carry more toxicity from the syntheics of it,but herbs in various amounts,over laoding aminos as in taking in 1-2 grams a day,etc are far from natural.
Anything that can reach your brain will affect it,this doesent exclude natural,and unless we are having tests to measure amino ratios,then like drugs we are just taking in random amounts and hoping for the best.
If anyone has ever partipated in a nutrion news group you will see fast how even natural substances must be taken carefully,and are not without their risks.
I personaly think messing with amino acids is something you want to keep at a mininium .
