Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 We use GABA and have since probably May 2010. We use it for anxiety. His speech has improved since last year but not sure if it was from the GABA. We've been doing tons of other things too. I was reading part of Amy Yasko's book on Google books and read about how low GABA affects speech and could improve it. Anyone use this or try this ever???? -- Toni------Mind like a steel trap...Rusty and illegal in 37 states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 We just started GABA ( " Zen " capsules) this past week with the hopes that it would help with anxiety, but my son's speech improved dramatically just a couple of hours after I gave the first dose. It's difficult to say whether it's due to the GABA but the timing was very interesting to me. We gave him the GABA before his nap on Friday, and he woke up from his nap speaking clearly! It was very sudden. I didn't know that GABA is known to help with speech in some cases so I really think this may be the case for my son. What I noticed was that his speech was much easier to understand -- he had been slurring his words and was getting harder to understand, and all of a sudden we could understand every word that he was saying! -Angie > > I was reading part of Amy Yasko's book on Google books and read about how low GABA affects speech and could improve it.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 We have used 5-HTP and GABA to ease our son's anxiety. No improvements in Speech though.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 GABA helps my son's speech too, but it puts him to sleep and the effects don't last very long. I believe that some use depakote to raise GABA levels. Caryn > > > > I was reading part of Amy Yasko's book on Google books and read about how low GABA affects speech and could improve it.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Alberta!! Here's a cool site that lists the Paranil Jr. AND the GABA in the supplement section!!!http://www.autismhelp4u.com/supplements.html I read on some other forum that the suggestion is to start with one capsule and if no changes then two the next day and then if no changes then three....and after this if there are no changes in any way then your child may not need GABA.???The kirkman labs brand is 250 mg...so.......> >> >> >> > I was reading part of Amy Yasko's book on Google books and read about> >> how low GABA affects speech and could improve it.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 The specific supplement we're using is " 200 mg. of Zen " by Allergy Research Group. It's GABA combined with L-Theanine. -Angie Emotional Stability: GABA combined with L-Theanine > > > > I was reading part of Amy Yasko's book on Google books and read about how low > >GABA affects speech and could improve it.
