Abstract: A method for reducing or eliminating cravings associated with habitual substance abuse by administering to a human a synergistic composition containing an effective amount of each of Glutamine, gamma aminobutyric acid, tyrosine, taurine, theanine, 5-hydroxtryptamine, phenylethylamine, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl choline, inositol, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxin, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid, cyanocobalamin, chromium polynicotinate magnesium, and decosahexaenoic acid. The pharmaceutical composition can be administered after complete cessation of a given habit forming substance, or to nullify cravings and to reduce abuse of a given habit forming substance, without total and complete remittance prior to administration of the composition. Worthy of note, all constituents found in this composition may be derived by synthetic means, or from natural sources.
