When microdosing psychedelics like LSD and magic truffles, it is best to shift the intake of GABA to the evening. This is because GABA slightly inhibits the effects of psychedelics. If you feel restless during the day, you can always take an extra GABA. GABA takes effect faster if you open the capsule and place the powder under your tongue.

Yes, GABA can be used during a microdosing regimen, but it is important to time it correctly. GABA can have mild inhibitory effects on psychedelics such as LSD or truffles. Therefore, it is recommended not to take GABA simultaneously with your microdose, but rather in the evening, for example.

However, while GABA can be useful during the day if you suffer from restlessness or tension, it can partially neutralize the desired subtle stimulation of microdosing. In the evening, on the other hand, GABA can actually contribute to relaxation and better sleep, which is important for integration and recovery. A frequently shared tip is to take GABA as a sublingual powder under the tongue for faster action.

In short, GABA can during a microdosing protocol, but consciously choose a time when it supports your goal — usually in the evening and not at the time of your dose.

GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter that promotes calm and relaxation in the nervous system. Within psychedelic therapy, and specifically with Triptherapie, GABA plays a significant role in both the preparation and aftercare of sessions with substances such as psilocybin, truffles, and MDMA.

In the article The neurotransmitter GABA It is explained that a GABA deficiency can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, muscle tension, and even depression. GABA helps maintain the balance between excitatory and inhibitory stimuli in the brain. Therefore, at Triptherapie, a neurotransmitter test is often performed prior to a session to check whether someone might have a GABA deficiency.

GABA also appears to be useful in preventing or alleviating bad trips, as discussed in the article. GABA, DHEA, and psilocybin for addiction?. The combination of GABA with supplements such as DHEA can help with quitting narcotics like alcohol and GHB. GABA reduces sensitivity to anxiety and stress, which is crucial in recovery processes.

On the forum Practical tips are also shared on increasing GABA, such as diet (fatty fish, broccoli, bananas), supplements (magnesium, vitamin B complex), and activities like meditation, making music, or walking in nature. Additionally, it is important not to combine GABA with medications such as benzodiazepines or alcohol, as this can pose risks.
