Hi guys I'm currently using 2g of Phenibut on thursday nights and 2g on saturday nights. I'm also drinking alcool. I know phenibut tolerance build fast and the withdrawl can be nasty. Do you think it is safe to do that dose every week?

From my own experience, I don't think it's sustainable. Tolerance will build at the frequency; it'll stop being worthwhile-enjoyable soon enough. Not to mention, you'll feel worse-than-baseline till Tuesday, which is also an indication of its overall negative impact on your brain. Beyond these physiological issues, your proposed regimen also appears to be an escapist approach that won't lead to the peace and confidence I imagine you're looking for.

IME doing 1-2g on Sundays is sustainable, but anymore than that and I tend to notice a lot more brain fog than usual.
I haven't gotten addicted to it, but it seems to be quite easy to fall into Phenibut addiction from what I've read.
I'd say stick to once a week, preferable once every 2 weeks, and on occasion it won't be too bad to use twice a week, but then preferably followed by one week abstinence minimum, or at least allow a few weeks of once weekly dosing to pass before having a twice a week "binge".
Just some general safety guidelines I adhere to. Also, try not to combine with Alcohol. Not pleasurable IME, rather substitute Alcohol with Phenibut.

And most preferably, don't use at all if you don't need it.

It depends on your own body really.

I've been on phenibut for the past 5 months. Typically, i do 1 day on / 2 days off, at 1-2g. With this level of dosing, i don't get any withdrawals on my days off, and im yet to have any tolerance issues at all. The ONLY time that i've felt withdrawals / tolerance is when i've exceeded 4g in a night, and have done it a few nights in a row.

Just listen to your body. If you're getting any bad effects from dosing 2g twice a week, either lower your dose or cut a day out.
