Can Executive Dysfunctioning not be improved at all?

Post Reply New Topic

A couple of years ago, I identified the low level of GABA in my neurotransmitters and since then have boosted the levels of GABA on a daily basis by taking a subclinical dose of Clonazepam, which boosts GABA in the brain. It was remarkable. Since then I have had minimal issues with executive functioning, even under extreme stress. My breakthrough came about from reading a book by Eric Braverman called The Edge Effect. He advocates boosting GABA using foods and amino acids, which I trialled, though the effect from those was not very pronounced. So I researched all the GABA agonists I could find on the web, and settled on low dose Clonazepam. From the first dose on the first day it was remarkable. Now years have passed and my executive function has never been sharper, clearer or more focused, which is remarkable for someone of my age.

Over the past year, research has finally caught up with this potential of GABA supplementation, using mice samples. It has been announced as an ASD breakthrough, though in fact the knowledge was there years before, in bits and pieces, in different places, and ferreting out information is something I am reasonably skilled at, as well as understanding scientific terms and language.

There has been research for some years that has demonstrated low GABA levels in some ASD people - not all - and this appears to be an innate factor for that group. It seems that they are also the subgroup of ASD which is most likely to have seizures, and that was true for me. I no longer have seizures. Raising GABA didn't just change my executive functioning ability, it changed my life.

My philosophy has always been that for every problem there is a solution - it may not be known, or it may not be obvious, or it may be misunderstood. However when the breakthroughs come, all the time and effort is worth it. I have never been influenced by the dogma of ASD that insinuates "there's nothing you can do about it, it's hopeless".

It's the dogma of stigma-spreaders like Autism Speaks, and many USA "mental health" professionals, who think they know everything about ASD (and they don't). It's self-serving as both groups cash in on promoting the idea of fixed disabilities of ASD and not the potentials and possibilities.

I just could not resist

Do you mind me asking what a sub-clinical dose would be? I see it comes in .125mg. Do you take less than that? TIA
