In reply to Need some advise on boosting GABA and Dopamine, posted by jaybee9 on September 5, 2007, at 15:04:08
Hi Jaybee9,
I take Nardil and clonazepam. Nardil boosts all of the major neurotransmitters, but not without side effects. Clonazepam will boost GABA and may be enough for some people with social anxiety symptoms. I have treatment resistant double depression-atypical with social anxiety. I've had at least four or five bouts of major depression and have suffered with dysthymia since my teenage years. I am now fifty. If the depression and anxiety is bad enough, you can put up with the Nardil side effects. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing much worse than treatment resistant depression. If your depression is really mild, maybe a stimulant such as modafinil(Provigil) or methylphenidate would boost your dopamine.
Be Well,
Jedi> Hi

From reading previous posts and after feeling much better on tyrosine and gaba powder i'm convinced that my gaba and Dopamine levels need to be targeted. But i'm having trouble finding meds that can boost these neurotransmitters without major side effects. Does anybody have any suggestions?
