I've been taking a gram of it for maybe 2 months almost every day. Sometimes I only take 700mg.

Do you recon I'll get withdrawals after I stop taking it?

[StevesPetRat]

It's definitely possible at that dosage and length of usage, though not certain.

i was getting sleepness nightsx2/3 after taking it twice a week so i thought i would space it out weekly and still suffered one night with mild depression. OK i went 8 days and still a damn sleepless night last night, i love the stuff but it so  damn addictive the doses im talking about are around the 1g mark maybe a bit over to 1.5g a day. I cycle stuff but last night i forgot to have the pregabalin ready and couldnt be bothered to get up so i took doxythingy which helped but still crap sleep. This stuff is more powerful than a lot of POM medicine. Newguy i suggest you taper off if you wanna ease off, dont go cold, it will be painful.

[newguy5]

Hmm I guess I'll go 500mg for a couple of days then. I assumed 1g was no problem since I saw so many people taking 2-10g that had to taper off, felt to me like 1g was no big deal.

 

Also since I'm able to take the same amount each day without taking more I don't really see any problem.

But we'll see.

keep us posted

[newguy5]

I'm wondering how much I've been taking, on the package it says, 1 scoop is 350mg. On the scoop itself it says 0.50ml. I guess there's not really a way to deduce if a scoop is actually 350?

Something as powerful and addictive as Phenibut....

 

I'd get a milligram scale. There are too many factors involved to determine what a "scoop" will work out to.

newguy, hows it going? Any wd?

 

I am in the same boat, had taken 1g of phen once a week, 2x max, and suffered withdrawals (night panics, insomnia) I attributed them to exam stress, but now I reflect back it's probs wd.

I also took 1g for the first time in 2 weeks post exam, and slept and felt like a baby god. 

 

Currently I am taking 600mg daily, 2-3 hours before bed and this is my 4th day on it, so far I feel normal?. Perhaps the anxiolytic effects aren't working either. I would up the dose, however My liver and kidneys are warnining me not to.

 

Im not sure what to do from here. I guess I will try taper of to 500-400-300-200-100 mg. Please let me know how your regimine is going!

[newguy5]

I had quit it for about 3 days and got some small withdrawals the first day, it was fine after that. After those 3 days though I started taking it again, maybe I would have gotten more withdrawals after that. My phenibut is almost finished and I don't have another batch so I'll see what happens.

[newguy5]

update.

 

I had WD's for about 3 days after I quit it but they weren't that bad, it was tolerable. Maybe it was because I didn't take large quantities, all in all it was fine.

[factsmachine]

I get bad WD from anything past 2x a week. But I'm sensitive in the anxiety department. Main thing is lack of sleep.
still haven't slept.. it's 8 am here

[newguy5]

Yeah from what I've read on the internet a lot of people get bad WD's, I guess I'm not one of them even though I took it every day for 2 months.

Don't take that for granted though, you might experience WDs if you take it daily again and cease. Phenibut is quite a wierd compound and the brain is constantly changing, next time might you might not get away with it so easily. I've experienced both a brutal wd from Phenibut, and a pretty much completely painless wd.

Yeah I'm gonna stay off of it for the moment.

If you want GABA-B effects without addiction/problems try either Gotu Kola or Ashwagandha. You won't be getting Phenibut-like buzz but both herbs are effective anxiolytics, nootropics and GK is even mildly euphoric to me.

RE Ashwagandha - what sort of dosage are you talking about, i have it, tried small doses but so far nothing like 500mg phenibut feels like, at what dose does one feel the anxioytic effect? im 68kg male

Extract of 10mg withanolides should be effective. Sometimes it may take a few days to start working, sometimes it may be that it simply doesn't work for you. A high dose of 20-40mg withanolides should be quite tranquilizing without tolerance.
