GABA Plus

Is GABA Plus ok to use if a person is on prescription drugs for depression and pain? -Helen Warren

In the for what it's worth category, I looked up Gaba in both the HART manual and Clell Fowles' book Drugs and Natural Alternatives and did not see a warning about using it with pain meds or depression meds.

In most of the reading I've done the caution with most supplement/drug interaction is that if an herb lowers blood pressure, and a drug lowers blood pressure and you take the herb and the drug at the same time there is the possibility that you can lower your blood pressure too much. There are some interactions to definitely avoid though. You might consider asking a pharmacist. If you find out please let us know! -Mandy

As Mandy said, she didn't see any contraindications listed. However, let's explain a little further - when you take herbs and nutrients, you just might need to lower your depression medication! You see, what the natural products do is FEED the body the RIGHT nutrients to enable it to help heal. YOu don't have a deficiency of Prozac or any other antidepressant - you have an imbalance in the body. Depression is a SYMPTOM that something is wrong. You have a band-aid on the SYMPTOM and are not getting to the root cause. What a Holistic Health Consultant will do is help you to find out what natural and nutritional products your body could use to bring about homeostasis, or balance. The basics for good health are: Pure air, water, moderate temperature, good waste elimination and proper nutrients. Good thoughts - no stinkin' thinkin'! Enzymes, minerals, trace minerals, vitamins and co-nutrients along with EFA's. When you get these things in place, your body begins to heal and you might very well find that you don't need the prescriptions anymore. Weaning yourself off is important! Hopefully you have a cooperative doctor who will work with you in doing so. I would also try the new product called DHA which supplies our bodies with the right fats for our brains. Due to a deficiency in DHA or Essential Fatty Acids, depression is often a symptom. -Nancy Coulter

This is a testimony for this combination. I was able to help a 1 year old boy who was having seizures at the end of every month that would last for 30 min. The mother gave him this (1/2 cap) every day, and by the end of the first month he had a 30 sec. seizure. By the end of the 2nd month he had no seizure. She kept this up for a while and then quit. He had a 30 sec. seizure. She realized he needed this and knows she has to keep giving him this. I have a dog that had a really bad seizure 3 months ago, so I began giving her 1 a day. She weighs about 70 lbs. She has had no more seizures, and has calmed down drastically. We couldn't keep her home, and now she stays with us like we want! It truly calms the CNS. I, for one, am grateful for the combination. -Tammy Ahrens
