Has anyone ever tried taking a GABA supplement alongside Finasteride? I get brain fog + mild depression + insomnia while on finasteride, but I've found that adding a GABA supplement before sleep fixes all of those things. I've been doing this for a few days and it's been working great so far.
This makes sense because GABA has been shown to be inversely related with levels of brain fog, depression, and insomnia, and since finasteride has been shown to reduce the amount of GABA the brain uses (if this is not true, please correct me with links to studies), theoretically adding in more GABA should help.
My only worry is that the reason that GABA is helping my sides is that adding it somehow increases 5AR or DHT, meaning it's actually negating finasteride rather than supplementing it. GABA has been shown to increase HGH, which increases testosterone apparently.
