Phenibut
    #27071918 - 12/04/20 01:35 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

I thought GABA stuff wouldn't really do anything for me because I'm a fairly phlegmatic person and thought I tend to stay relaxed, but 700~mg of it is pretty good.
Maybe I have unresolved trauma I hold on to and Phenibut is a tool to show me what I can achieve through healing myself? It's not exactly what I would call recreational but I like it.

I’m not saying you’d ever do this but don’t you dare use that stuff everyday. I’ve been through drugs for about 15 years and phenibut was down right terrifying getting off of, some end up in the hospital. Check reddit sub “quittingphenibut.”

I DID use daily for three months, until out of nowhere phenibut started giving me panic attacks whether I took it or went through WD. I would literally be having a panic attack driving down the freeway at 3am listening to joe rogan trying to calm down... and I’ve never had anxiety before. Didn’t know what anxiety was.


My first one made me think I was about to have a stroke/seizure. Once a week is a good enough amount. I used heroin before and would go through full blown heroin WD before that phenibut experience ever again. Took me about 40 SLOW days of hell to get right after quitting.

This.
Will attest to the withdrawal. It's sneaky, too.

Phenibut has great potential when used sparingly..  Hope it helps you in what you're looking for. Just a reminder- lots of kind, therapeutic alkaloids out there!

Dude flush that shit down the toilet.  It will give you severe withdrawals in some cases after only 2 days of use. 

Like it’s not worth it.  The risk to reward ratio is just bad with this stuff.    Like honestly valerian root and Scullcap brewed together in a tea is really effective for anixety for me.  It also helps me not drink when I am going through periods of sobriety.


Phenibut just looks really bad from the research I have done on it.

There are some phenibut horror stories out there if you go looking.

It is similar to benzos in effect and collateral damage.  I flushed the remainder of what I had after a night of blackout, not knowing what I did.

Don’t flush drugs just throw it in the garbage if anything... but yeah, phenibut landed me in a hospital parking lot twice for insane panic attacks. One time I left after a half hour thinking I was fine and had another one right away and came back. Never went through something like that before and I was on methadone for five years and got off pretty quick. Felt like I needed medical assistance

but if I do that and get withdrawals tomorrow I wont be able to take a ween dose
I've had Seroquel withdrawals before which were ghastly and if I wasn't able to take 30 mg when it happened I'd have been superfucked
kind of a tangent but the psychiatrist barely seemed to care or even act like they've seen that happen before. good thing I was just asking for more Seroquel and not something they don't love to prescribe

Phenibut is a strange one, it's intense but subtle at the same time for me.  All I can say is, if you have any affliction with booze, please, please do not mix the two together.

Giddiness, motivation, artistic inspiration, mild to moderate euphoria...compromised motor skills, sedation, memory loss.

OR rebound anxiety, panic, anger, rage, you get the point.

I know a person who takes over 10 grams per day. He had a seizure once after accidentally running out.

It's a very warm and cozy drug, initially, like so many. If you've had a problematic history with alcohol, you should steer clear completely, and probably even if you haven't.

I personally love it and haven't experienced any negative side effects when taking it infrequently. However mixed with booze the hangover is the closest thing to brain damage I've ever felt.

Proceed with caution if you have good self discipline when it comes to recreational substances.

Love the shift in tactile sensations and six hour giddiness. Similar to an in the pocket buzz for social interaction without impaired motor function. Feels like peanut butter and jelly with MDMA too

phenibut w/d is like instant DT. I used it for a week and drained my GABA to the point my brain would just randomly fire from excessive glutamate.Good luck if you plan on abusing it, it has a nasty bite.

Only after a week?? That same thing happened to me but after 3 months. Literally had me laying in bad staring at a wall for hours in sheer terror sometimes. I thought I officially done fucked up my brain, it took me about 30-35 days to feel better. So you felt awful after taking phenibut eventually? Like throw you into a panic attack like state?

I’ve made posts on Reddit trying to warn people about this, as much as I’m not a people person anymore I sure don’t want anyone to suffer like I did. I remember telling my GF that I felt like I was about to lose control of my sanity. I was having almost 45min Long I panic attacks that would just roll into more panic attacks when it was at it a worst.

Damn. That and all the other admonishments in this thread sound pretty bad.
So far today I've felt sort of an inkling of "offness" and I see how this could be felt more strongly. But I have dealt with intense akathisia before so whatever I'm feeling right now isn't that big of a deal at all in comparison.
I'll stay away for the next few days as well and keep track of how I'm feeling and when I'm back to baseline.
But overall I still feel more relaxed than usual and it's been near 24 hours since my last dose.

Phenibut is a bit like kratom- insidious- but far worse (which is not to downplay the seriousness of kratom addiction but to emphasize the seriousness of phenibut dependency). the first few times you do it, it's great.  it makes you feel very good, but in a functional way. you can do work better, socialize better, flirt better- even sleep better. waking up after taking phenibut the first few times made me feel more rested than I have ever felt in my life.

it doesn't last at all. if you dose every day, the same dose that made you feel this way for the last 24hrs will be necessary every 6-8hrs to keep you from feeling shitty.

i don't even tell people to throw xanax away. xanax has its uses. phenibut belongs in the trash

A single dose especially depending on how much can have you relaxed for 24 hr for sure, sometimes it can go away for a bit and then feel it again in the morning it’s weird like that. You’re 100% fine from a single dose, honestly if someone felt bad from a single dose they are either wired very differently or have some mental stuff going on.

Like I said above though it can get bad. Enjoy it sparingly and you’re good. I take it still sometimes, only bc I can’t smoke weed or I’d barely touch the stuff.

sounds like me instant panic attacks. couldnt sleep. when I was sleeping I was wide awake in another dimension. truly scary shit. you get stuck in these thought loops of doom. one night i stayed up all night and next morning started off with a panic attack that the world
was collapsing. i was freaking out saying crazy shit. then i snap out of it after hyperventilating.

impending doom is crazy feels like a bad trip.

After seeing all the crazy adverse effects... I have to say, using it "a couple days on" does not seem like 'being careful about it'.

Seems the only person who still takes it, Catslove, specifically said he takes a single dose. Especially if it lasts 24 hours, like Catslove says. Could easily see a problem arising from knocking on those receptors for 48-72 hours.

I like it. Takes away nearly all social anxiety. Of course you don't want to use everyday- 3 days a week tops and never back to back. I use it mainly for job interviews or if I have to do a presentation or something. mixing with psyches can be pretty good too.

Well I'm still seeing how 3 days on affects me and nothing about what I said is set in stone. So far today, 36 hours since my last dose, I am not having any panic. So if 3 days on with rest is fine then I don't see why scaling it back to two days can't be considered cautious. And that would also be a trial and I may decide to stop doing it on consecutive days all together.

He might be in the same camp as me. Every person who's had a bad reaction it in this thread was taking it consecutively for an extended period of time. Not denying the severity of it's withdrawals, but if taken infrequently once a week it can be a great recreational substance.

Some people don't have the self control for that. Personally it's the most functional GABAergic substance I've ever taken. Every other benzo has been garbage compared to phenibut in my experience.

Yup. I legit was scared, walking around my neighborhood in absolute horror for hours. Stuck in my head. What happened was I was abusing it, thought I could just taper off after awhile... we’ll the phenibut started GIVING me panic attacks. I didn’t know what was wrong, was looking up epilepsy and different forms of seizures. Figured out what the phenibut was doing, and dropped it immediately. Could’ve had a seizure from that, wasn’t that long of use but possible. 

Through the worst of it I was at family’s place for Father’s Day this year, felt like I was dreaming/bad trip/everything was unreal. Could literally go psychotic. It’s all my fault though, that’s what happeneds when you fuck around. I became stronger going through that though. Taught me more about how powerful the mind is then any psychedelic experience and I use them quite heavily. Some will disagree with that part but it is true.

I thought kratom and phenibut were awesome, I now realize how careful you have to be with them... phenibut more so then kratom for me. Weed/Psychedelics, no liquor for me thanks.

Withdrawal
symptoms, which can last two weeks or longer, may include anxiety, agitation,
fatigue, hallucinations, insomnia, psychosis, tremors, tachycardia, nausea and
vomiting. In addition, symptoms for which phenibut was taken will return.

Bumping this cause I have a related question for you guys.

I was a daily phenibut and kratom user for the past year. I'm a recovering alcoholic (2+ yrs clean) but I admittedly traded addictions with these seemingly less destructive substances. I stopped taking high phenibut doses quite a few months back, and tapered the dose down to about 450mg per day, for the last couple months of using it. My kratom dose was pretty light towards the end as well (maybe 2.5 gpd).

So I finally quit the phenibut a month ago, but I didn't want to deal with insomnia or other potential WD's. My doctor had suggested Gabapentin to me way back when I was still drinking and looking to quit, but I never took him up on the offer until now. It's been a couple weeks on about 800-1000mg per day. I have really mixed feelings about it, and I know since its a GABAergic drug, there's real potential for me to abuse it, considering my past.

I did however finally quit kratom, just 5 days ago, which is awesome.

I have been feeling pretty sad and actually somewhat anxious and depressed lately, while on the gabapentin. I just don't know whether this is actually the gabapentin or if it's to be more attributed to kratom WDs.

If any of you have used gabapentin before, I'd like to hear about your thoughts and experiences. As I understand it, this drug and phenibut work on different gaba receptors. I honestly would have to say that, so far, I find phenibut to be warmer and floatier than gabapentin, but gabapentin doesn't seem to have as devastating of a rebound effect the next morning (it does seem a bit sedating though).

Any personal experience and response here is much appreciated. Thanks.

kind of a tangent but the psychiatrist barely seemed to care or even act like they've seen that happen before. good thing I was just asking for more Seroquel and not something they don't love to prescribe




seroquel is fucked, its like diabetes in a pill, I had someone on a weightloss sub reddit say seroquel was the only thing that worked for their mental illness and I was at a loss of what to say to them, my knee jerk reaction would be to tell them to drop the seroquel like yesterday if they are trying to lose weight, but according to them it was improving thier quality of life, and they said it was the only thing that worked so I assume they tried lots of other anti-psychotics, I went radio silent on that one

I never got withdrawals on seroquel, I forget what my dose was, it was at least a few hundred mg though

effexor and wellbutrin are good for non-serotonin pains emotional, etc. and major depression.  said wellbutrin would make me hallucinate though.  and xanax they won't do - too addictive, but i dont understand, in the past with other doctors they would prescribe easily.  now it's difficult to get anything.

my psychiatrist would script me triazolams like they were candy, but she dropped me as a client cause she said I was doing better and my family doctor could take over, my family doctor is a square, I doubt im ever getting a benzo again

The sadness is the withdrawal. Go check out www.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom and
www.reddit.com/r/quittingphenibut

I dont have any experience with phenibut but with respect to kratom, it seems you can expect some feelings of depression, anxiety, terror, and panic for up to 6 months following kratom dicontinuation. Many of those guys are taking 40 to 100 grams per day though so it will likely be shorter for you.

I would personally use baclofen rather than gabapentin to get off phenibut. More similar mechanism, but baclofen is notoriously unsusceptible to tolerance

Phenibut is a strange one, it's intense but subtle at the same time for me.  All I can say is, if you have any affliction with booze, please, please do not mix the two together.




Off topic but long ago I remember someone with your exact user name posting on a forum about pennies that I used to frequent, was that you by any chance?



Which forum? My memory is a bit fuzzed sometimes lol. Cool to still see you here though, after logging in after many years again I thought this place would be crawling with noobie trippers that soon leave or notice the deceased list increase dramatically.

It was the Realcent forum, about sorting pennies for copper value. Still exists but I'm not active in the hobby any more.

Yeah you can't do it with pennies any more in Canada but nickels up to 1981 are 99% pure nickel. The odd silver dime pops up in circulation too. Might get a few from a $250 box of dimes, at least when I was last doing it.

Yeah it was a fun hobby, a bit like playing the lottery with the silver ones. Or finding older pennies and nickels.

Anyway, sorry for hijacking your thread OP.

I asked about coaster years ago, at the time supposedly he still posted once in a while under a different username I think.  His posts kept the antics here interesting for sure and his math/theory threads could get you thinking.

I wasn't active here at the same time as he was (or I don't remember interacting with him), but people have mentioned that he became a teacher.
