I've been taking (oral) GABA and have noticed some muscle growth, but i'm wondering if IV would be feasible (since that route would cross the blood-brain barrier). Do i need to have actual GABA crystals?
 
IV will not allow it to cross the BBB. It's too polar. Plain and simple. IV, oral, whatever, no crossing.
 
Either way, GABA gives me very very odd physical symptoms, similar to panic. This is at oral doses of 5-8grams...

It makes me much more social and less inhibited, provides stamina and focus. If I take more than 1g it makes me feel drunk/high.

Does the body build immunity to GABA by the way? It seems like i'm taking more and more everyday to get the same effects. It also makes me aggressive and angry sometimes. Maybe i just need to lower my dosage. I only weigh 120lbs (definite hard-gainer) so maybe 2-3g a day is too much right now.
 
It could possibly help muscle growth by promoting deep sleeps (which are necessary for repair)

but its largely useless

its a shit state to be over-gaba-ated

well i'm taking it more for my anxiety, mood, and fatigue right now..seems to be helping for those things and a little bit for fat loss and muscle gain.

i don't know dude, i tried gaba back in the day for anxiety and i took as much as 4 grams. the only effect i ever got was a slight sedation and an odd sensation as if my skin was flowing on my body...and i got super sweaty. theres NO point in taking large gaba doses.
you sure you're not getting a placebo effect...not that it matters an effect is an effect

yea i didn't take any right away this morning but then i felt so lethargic i decided i better take some. i've been sleeping about 5 hours a day instead of my usual 9. if i drink with it, i don't sleep at all.
 
People still taking oral GABA? I thought that died out in the early 90's....

There is injectable (SC/IM) GABOB solutions which people have been using for increasing GABA levels pre-sleep. it contains GABA and another compound which is kind of similar. People claim to notice mid-mild GH increase effects (better sleep, etc)

However at 120lbs you'd be better spending your cash on steak, eggs and whey protein....

Do you know where one could find GABOB or is it impossible for the general public? Steak, eggs, whey...i take all of it trust me. I've been working out for 6 years and i find most supplements do nothing more than back up my gutty works (especially whey protein). I was taking tribulus for a while, but then i couldn't get an erection and was always tired and irritable. GABA seems like the best thing so far.
 
GABOB is available through grey market channels. Still I would not recomend it. 120lbs after 6 years. Christ I started at 120lbs and gained AT LEAST 1lb a week for the first couple of months. Do you have to keep your weigt down for boxing/wrestling/etc or is it just impossible for you to gain weight? If its the latter then its not supplements you should be looking at its your diet/training regiem.

than back up my gutty works

I guess this means makes you constipated. Maybe take some fibre capsules or drink some prune juice. Keeping your fat intake high will also help.
