[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Hmmm, I don’t visit the Health forum much, so maybe it was somebody else. Not sure I’ve ever recommended it on DCUM, for that matter. But I’m with you on the point that it can really help some (not all) people, like me, and also that it [b]has less risks than SSRIs, whose effects as equally if not more unknown[/b]. So glad it’s working for you and your DS![/quote]

Wait, there have been YEARS of peer reviewed studies on SSRIs.  There is very little research on GABA and, in one example, 3 of the 4 studies reviewed had researchers linked to the companies producing GABA that they did not disclose.  Yet, you assert GABA has fewer risks and side effects than SSRIs - at least, that what it seems you're asserting.  [/quote]

And yet here you are, pushing SSRIs, which have known side effects—well documented by years of research—including a heightened risk for suicide as OP so poignantly describes. This is why the psychiatric profession gets a bad rap. You guys have a pill for everything, regardless of well-documented side effects—as long as you’re the ones doing the prescribing. I’m the mom on the first page of this thread with the kid who had a terrible reaction to Effexor.

Can you point to any documented side effects for this GABA, anecdotal or researched? You keep mentioning these 4 studies, but a quick google shows more studies than that.  [/quote]
