Taking gaba vs gabapentin

5 Replies

For nerve pain first doctor tried pregablin (lyrica) which made me feel weird. Then doctor tried gabapentin (seizure medication) which worked but I could not take a high enough dose for nerve pain . Then I took GABA from health food store which is a natural supplement with no side effects and I could take higher doses when I need it that worked for nerve pain and calmed and relaxed me. Please consider this supplement if you need more relief from nerve pain.

I tried gaba and it made my shoulder pain a lot worse. Please check that it's okay to mix with your prescribed medication. I take pregabalin and they don't mix. Plus it made me pour with sweat.

Hello,

I encourage people to speak with a health care professional before taking anything new, including supplements. Whilst a lot of supplements can be fine to use, some supplements don't mix well with certain medication(s), leading to potentially harmful interactions. Health care professionals will be able to tell you if it will be safe for you to use or not.
