A member asked:
Could taking over-the-counter gaba tablets aid with alcohol withdrawal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's in them: The problem with OTC supplements is that there are no FDA requirements. One does not know exactly what is in them nor how much. It may possibly help, but who knows. If you are buying them at a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist. S/he may know.
