    or there is the injection tyric-6 "aka P-GH"

    was a huge rage back in 2000 ish, it works... But not to inrease GH. Just like gaba. Sleep/relaxation. That is about it.

    Just jumped back on this stuff and man I love it...quality of sleep has improved dramatically. I'm a pretty light sleeper and wake up multiple times/night and this stuff helps me to sleep pretty much straight through and deep!

    Sometimes if I take too much I get the tingles and shortness of breath as well...but that tends to happen above 5 grams for me.

    I'm getting some tomorrow, i hope. Even if there is a withdrawal i don't really care. On a good night right now i get 4 hrs of sleep so if GABA can give 4 good nights of sleep and 3 shitty nights, i'm way ahead of the game... I just hope the local health store carries it.

    WTF, 5-10 gram doses? I take 1 gram of NOW gaba and 10-15 min later it feels like someone's standing on my chest, my arms feel somewhere between tingly and numb, and it's an effort to lift my arms. I don't know if various brands have different concentrations of active ingredient or if its just different people's tolerance, but I'd suggest starting at a low dose and see what happens. 10 grams, I'm pretty sure I'd be in a coma.

    ^^^ Like you said, it`s about tolerance. At first 2 grams would give me the tingles and shortness of breath... Now I can use 5 grams and I don`t get those sides as much but do sleep better. But nowhere near the benefits of saying 5 hours sleep feels like 8...

    Ritch, you started at 2 grams and worked up to 5 grams. Is this because you had to keep upping the dose to continue to get the same sleep benefits, or were you just raising the dose trying to get a GH effect?

    Just wondering if the sleep aid effect is going to decrease over time and I'm going to need to up my dose. If so, should Gaba be cycled with a taper on and off to help prevent adaptation?

    I kept upping the dose to get the "messed up feeling it gives you..." The sleep effect does wear off over time, and I think the tingling feeling is related to the sleep benefit as the tingles wear off in a linear way to the sleep benefits... But I haven`t read anything that leads me to belive that the GH effect diminishes. I won`t go over 5 grams because I just want my supply to last a long time.

    Like you said, the cycling of it if you`re looking for the sleep benefit would be best. For that, I`ve found using it 3 days a week will make it work that way. On the days you don`t use it to sleep there are other supps to knock you out like velvet extract, 5htp and st John`s wort. But 5htp may not be for you as it plays with serotonin levels, but for me it`s good as going to long without it puts me in a grouchy mood.
