And Gaba never affected the energy levels here, at all. We used 750 mgs, got a

lot more expressive speech. Took it out after about 5 months, added it back in

for a brief time without anything at all.

[ ] Re: GABA dose

,

I'm not an expert in this by any means but I have been gathering

information because I want to trial GABA. There seems to be a wide

range of doses that work for kids. Yasko recommends starting low and

then moving up until a child is " mushy " and then moving back down

again a bit. However, I do know some parents whose child could have

been described as " mushy " (low energy, parents spending a lot of time

trying to perk him up, etc) who started with a very high dose and

that level gave their child a huge developmental jump. Perhaps if

they'd stuck to the lower doses/mushy protocol, they'd never seen

that great leap forward.

My own son is low energy and I spend a lot of time trying to deal

with that. I intend to start low with the GABA but if nothing

happens, to try a brief higher dose (in his case, at 36 pounds, about

750 mgs day or so) to see if it has this kind of opposite impact on

him.

I hope this might help,

Anita
