I think Gaba B might be key for TRD and Dysthymia

Posted by FrequentFryer on March 30, 2013, at 21:35:17

Hi All
My psych put me on Baclofen for Anxiety which is a GABA B agonist (and I think has a positive influence on Dopamine). Well I dunno really the mechanism of action is unknown. It's almost identical to Gabapentin and Pregabalin. Anyways it makes me interested in stuff for the first time in years and has a very strong pro social and anxiolic effect (Heaps better the Clonazapam in my opinion). The only problem is you get a strong tolerance to it (like everything) very quickly.
I would defiantly recommend giving it a try at 50 to 75mg's. It's not controlled and is cheap (in Australia).
I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck with other GABA drugs for Anxiety Depression?
Regards.
FF.
