Does gaba supplements (for example 1000 mg daily) decrease dopamine? or is it the other way around?

My hunch is that they do not. Got to PUBMED and search for GABA supplements AND dopamine. Beware of supplements. There is no control of what goes into them and the makers do not need to show they are safe or that the do what they claim. Can also go to Drugs.com and read more.

In general, over the counter supplements have NO effect on neurotransmitter levels. Prescription items such as L-DOPA or dopamine agonists can certainly affect dopamine activity in brain. Not clear why you might want to spend your money on unproven and perhaps unsafe supplements.
