At first I used GABA, which is made by Taurine, zinc and B6, then segued to Taurine and a multi alone; I'd had breakthrough seizures on my meds, and haven't had one since I switched over. I had seizures because I'd had surgery, chemo and radiation for a Glioblastoma (brain tumor like Senator Kennedy's). space Read Dr Atkins' discussion about nutrients, their healing effects, optimum doses and minimal side effects, in his book, "Dr Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution" (order it from Amazon) space I'm really enthusiastic about a nutritional approach because the cancer should have killed me 3 years ago; but after the doctors had done all they could do, I went on an anti cancer diet and beat one of the most deadly cancers known to medicine. ( less than 2% survive three years or even 6 months... And I'm healthy and full of vigor at 3.5 years after the tumor was found, with no sign of tumor regrowth on my MRIs)
