For the past month, I have had anxiety, heart palpitations, nervousness, and sleep disorders. Currently taking 0.25 alprazolam However, it is rather hard to fall asleep at night. But I'm not under any stress at all. Never take drugs or alcohol. Kindly recommend me. Can I treat my issue with a GABA supplement? Three months ago, I worked out and went for a run.

Have a query?

Even in the absence of overt stress, your symptoms, such as anxiety, palpitations, and restless nights, may be caused by anxiety, sleep disorders, or occasionally health problems like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid imbalances. While they can be helpful in the short term, medications like alprazolam are not recommended for long-term use and could not completely improve sleep. Because GABA supplements don't function effectively in the brain, they are typically not particularly helpful. Focus on relaxing techniques, light exercise, and a regular sleep schedule (no screens before bed). If problems persist, see a doctor for an assessment and safer long-term treatment.
