Inositol and Neurotransmitters

Posted by PamS on May 12, 2008, at 19:33:50

Hi all,

I have a bottle of bulk inositol powder here that I've been wanting to try for my panic/anxiety, but have been nervous due to the high amounts that they recommend (approximately 12 grams). I've tried 1/4 teaspoon mixed in water, but that is only 750 mgs and I felt no change, obviously.

I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what part of the brain inositol triggers. Is it the serotonin receptors, GABA or both? I've heard that it inhibits desensitization of serotonin receptors, thereby, making them work better, and that when serotonin goes up, GABA automatically goes up. Is GABA connected to serotonin this way, or does inositol actually trigger GABA directly as well as serotonin?

Thanks in advance,
Pam
