Hello, Lea! How are you?

No, they are not even close to being the same. GABA Trex is classified by the FDA as a supplement that contains the amino acid L-Theanine, thus it is not actually proven to do anything.

However, Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that has also been proven to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, mood swings and weight gain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
