NMDA antagonist supplements, and GABA supplement for muscle spasm and cramps

[Mracid]

I am thinking on buying Agmatine, B-Alanine, GABA, Taurine and Magnesium Bisglycinate to combine as a daily supplement combination to fight muscle spasms and cramps which I think is caused by Hypertonia or spasticity (I am having a electromyography test in a week so for the next 7 days I will not be using muscle relaxer at all to be sure that my system is not altered when tested).
I was wondering if any1 has any experiance in treating spasms and crapms with supplement combination. I was thinkig why not simply post the question to see if it is worthwhile first because its not cheap.

Any comments or experiance report will be appreciated.

I had constant muscle spasms all over my body (especially in the legs) after having a mini-stroke from overdosing on an unknown psychedelic substance. Still get them from time to time, albeit very rarely.
GABAergic drugs helped the most...try low dose phenibut 3x daily (only if they are severe and bothering the shit out of you -- getting hooked to phenibut is no fun). Magnesium baths also seemed to help.

After 8-12 months mine went away 95% without using GABAergics or even supplementing magnesium.

Just increase dietary protein intake instead of taking all these wacky amino acids and derivatives. Your body should produce enough to sate its needs with food alone. And isolated amino acids are way more money than cheese or tofu.

The magnesium may be worth keeping, but the rest is probably just placebo fluff if you have a good diet (read: don't live off pizza).

Glad I gave it up, I am now using 4 to 5 times a day finely ground Lemon balm to increase my GABA levels by reducing the activity of GABA-T enzyme. It works pretty well, everyday it works more and more since it stacks. Also it is really cheap. I am also seeking for a script of either benzo or fiorinal for rare occasions where I have too intense tension headache, I do not intend to use it more than once or twice a week since I know how strong they are and how awful are the WD.

Try checkout Carbamazepine(tegretol) and D-vitamine

This is prescribed and in canada with the public system you cannot get a medication by just asking. I would like to try it but my doc is uncomfortable to even treat me for anything before I see a specialist, which can take up to 6 months and if their diagnosis is wrong they wont make another one until every medication possible for the first diagnosis has been tried. I have been stuck with my pain for 3 years now and been through 3 different diagnosis and tried like 30 different meds, none of which are muscle relaxer when my symptoms are muscle tension and tension headache. It is sadly hilarious how bad they are.
