‘‘An analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid, vigabatrin is
an irreversible inhibitor of 4-aminobutyrate
transaminase, the enzyme responsible for the
catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid. (From
Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31st ed). Off-label
uses include treatment of cocaine dependence.’’

thıs ıs a very very dangerous drug, stay away.

sorry but why are you saying this is a very dangerous drug?
im not aware of any more dangers other than those of other gabaergic drugs.
If its the “irreversible” label that is putting you off, please know Penincilin is a “Irreversible enzyme inhibitor” as well.

thınk thıs, what ıf your gaba levels wıll ıncrease the future ı mean ıt wıll recover maybe. And you wıll be ınhıbıt catabolısm enzyms ırreversıble. Its mean you can have x2 gaba levels ın the future. Massıve gaba levels can be a dangerous thıng? I dont know…

this is a drug given to epileptic people, its not supposed to be a dangerous drug.
rosea rodhiola works by inhibiting the destruction of neurotrasmitters as well and its not a dangerous plant.
your levels of gaba wouldnt stay chronically elevated after you stop the drug!

Serious vision problems may occur while taking this medication and may be permanent even after you stop taking the medication. To prevent vision problems from getting worse, your doctor must find any eye problems as early as possible. Also, tell your doctor if you have a history of vision problems. It is very important that you have an eye exam before starting this medication, 4 weeks later, then every 3 months thereafter while you are taking this medication. You should also have an eye exam 3 to 6 months after stopping this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions carefully and keep all medical/eye/lab appointments. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any changes in vision (such as loss of vision, blurred vision, double vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain).

irreversible eye loss is not good at all! You’d have to be monitored by a doctor regularly. Its like drugs that have potential to cause liver disease like agomelatine or nefazodone…you need to get regular checkups.
Unfortunately for us, we never know how risky are any of the medications that we are prescribe…They said propecia was safe!

that being said, maybe it’s not worth the risk!
