I have been dosing 5g GABA pre bed with about 1g theanine. I consistently get nightmarish dreams. I have had so many throughout my life that they don't bother me anymore. Still, what do you think is the mechanism as to why GABA gives me nightmares? Does it give any of you odd dreams?

If I take more than 750Mg of GABA I get shortness of breath. 5 Grams, holy cow.

I enjoy the flush, short term potential of increasing GH, and potential of increasing possibility of some crossing BBB.

Are you experiencing any other side effects from that high of a dose?

Maybe increase of heart rate.
Well the stress of nightmares and increased heart rate might be releasing GH, so I guess there's that! Drugs like gabapentin can be used for nightmares associated with PTSD, so in theory GABA should help alleviate nightmares. However, if it's a bell curve sort of thing, you may have simply shot over the sweet spot.

Taking GABA orally definitely causes some type of reaction in the brain that's for sure, even if people say it is impossible to cross the BBB.

It likely does and anybody telling you differently hasn't read the research.

It's super cheap to buy GABA in bulk. Doesn't really taste bad or like anything. I find the flush, which is not extreme, pleasant.
