Background Info.

In reply to GABA and Dopamine, posted by Justin Fernandez on August 22, 2008, at 17:22:50

A little background info may be helpful. I have used L-Theanine in the past with some success, as well as Lithium Orotate. I am currently using Valerian root as a GABA agonist, but it seems as though tolerance develops rather quickly. I have difficulty with motivation and concentration on academic and personal tasks. I also struggle with symptoms of social phobia and what appears to be Bipolar Spectrum characterized by mixed states of irritability and fatigue with low mood. I am also prone to addictive/ compulsive behaviors.
Some stimulants improve my concentration and low mood, but often leave me feeling overstimulated. GABA potentiators help to stabilize my mood but many times cause apathy in me. I think my symptoms may be related to an imbalance in my GABA and Dopamine levels. Any thoughts?
