Can gaba gama help my nerves for the withdrawls?

Perhaps?: "withdrawals" from what? It is conceivable that GABA could help with symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, or agitation that are part of some withdrawal syndromes; but in my opinion the crucial question is from what substance are you withdrawing? If you are withdrawing from effexor (venlafaxine), (venlafaxine) for instance, the only real relief would require an extremely gradual taper of effexor (venlafaxine).
