I’ve heard that GABA supplements are good when stopping alcohol as it creates a calming effect and helps with anxiety.
Copied from Google:
When GABA attaches to a protein in your brain known as a GABA receptor, it produces a calming effect . This can help with feelings of anxiety, stress, and fear. It may also help to prevent seizures. As a result of these properties, GABA has also become a popular supplement in recent years.
Does anyone use it or have used it?
Any advice? The last thing I want is to be addicted to something else!
For extreme withdrawal symptoms including seizure and anxiety, you might work with a doctor. They can monitor and provide prescriptions to aid safe recovery.
Severe alcohol withdrawal can be fatal if untreated. I had medical help for one of my more hairy sobering ups.
Gaba has a inhibitory effect on our nerves so gives a calming affect. It needs a high B6 vitamin ammount to work so you can take a supplement for that too. When we quit drinking the B6 ammount we have is too low most of the time.
