Hi all,

I'm not sure because I hear such a lot of different meanings... Can I use GABA A with VitB to push Benzoes or on the other hands side to be more calm and relaxed and even sleep much better? Somebody said no, because It could produce a Serotonin-Syndrome. What are your experiences, is it okay or a real no-go?

Really I wanted to know if I overcome a w/d with gaba a. or is this too light?

I have 200 veg. Capsules with each 500 mg GABA A and 2 mg Vitamin-B-6. i have to take Escitalopram , an SSRI, and Amphetaminsulfat.Wanted to now if its okay or not.

OH sorrry this was German :) I want to try GABA A with 2mg Vitamin-B-6. Im taking Escitalopram 20 mg/d in the morning, 22,5 mg Amphetaminsulfat daily, Nomexor 2,5 mg and 100 mg Seroquel at night when I really cannot sleep.

Can anybody pls tell me if this would be OK? I fear a Serotonine Syndrome!

I’ll try help JJ. Be specific. What do you want to take? List it for me.

so
2ng Vitamin B6
22mg escitalopram
22.5mg amphetamine sulphate
2.5mg Nomexor
100mg seroquel

is that correct? How much of that is NOT prescribed by a dr?
 
Do not ever use escitalopram and seroquel together! Very dangerous in regards to your heart. It’s a major interaction between those drugs so do not mix them.
 
I had Cocaine since in the morning
5 mg Bromazolam
20 mg Escitalopram
2,5 mg Nomexor
100 mg Seroquel (just for sleeping.

That't it. or can you perhaps tell me which drugs I shoud never take when on GABA A?

My doctor is one of 3 or 4 specialists in ADHD in adults in Austria, he will know what he do. And he knows that I mostly smoke a joint instead of taking the Seroquel. Never had problems since 8 years.
 
Escitalopram in the morning ,Seroquel against half past ten in the evening. That's in these low doses no problem.
 
Serotonin syndrom from GABA and vitamin B6? I don't think so...
You're taking a much bigger risking by mixing your medication with cocaine (amphetamine, escitalopram and seroquel).

That being said I don't think gaba supplements would do anything for you, it's barely active anyway and you have a pretty high benzo tolerance.
Supplementing with B vitamins can be a good idea, I sometimes take that, but it's not psychoactive at all and it won't potentiate your benzos.

All I’m saying is do not mix the seroquel and Escitalopram. It’s flagging up as a major drug interaction and he shouldn’t prescribe the two together. But up to you, just know that it is a risk.

You’re more at risk of serotonin syndrome with mixing the amphet, cocaine, seroquel etc. Not a good combination.

You mean - do not take it at one time?

I understand but in this case it's like drinking chamomile tea to potentiate IV midazolam. What's the point?

Edit: have you tried melatonin for sleep?
