Will Cal/Mag help my insomnia?

[The Tickle Momster]

I know what's causing the insomnia, but there is nothing I can do about it until the greiving process is farther along. In the meantime, is there anything I can do the lessen it? Maybe b-complex?

Also, what brand of vits? I've been taking the ones from what used to be Amway, Nutrilite? Thorne has been recommended before, but I don't know where to get it. Others?

the cal/mag should help a little. (((HUGs))) I am not sure about the b-complex...I seem to recall some b vits keeping people up..but not sure. I am taking 5-htp before I go to bed at night. It seems to help. Gaba is also supposed to help.

[The Tickle Momster]

I was thinking the b-vits for during the day. To combat possible ppd.

What is 5-htp and Gaba?

[cobluegirl]

5-htp is 5-hydroxytryptophan... a neurotransmitter support..
gaba is gamma aminobutyric acid... an amino acid I think.

I know both are good for depression...and sleep. That is about all I know about it.

The Mood Cure is a book that talks about them....
