So short summary: some claim phenibut is kind of nootropic and kind of anti-ADHD, but research on this sucks balls big time and is not even worth googling. Most people take it against anxiety, against which it is also prescribed in Russia. Conventional wisdom is to only take it once a week max. Some people say it is a lot like benzos, some say it is almost identical to baclofen, some say it is more GHB-alike, all say withdrawal sets in super-fast. HL is 8 hours, effects set in after 1-3 hours. People take all kinds of dosages from 0.25g to 8g, for all kinds of reasons, and none of them make sense consistently. It messes on GABA-B as well as GABA-A in higher dosage (like 1.5-2g+ if you believe in trip reports) and also always does some dopamine magic.
So my question: If you have ADHD, have you tried it, what serious stimulants do you take (including nicotine), do you have issues with anxiety, how when what is your style of usage? Low dosage, high dosage? Only weekends?
My profile: 28, 83kg, male, aspergers, ADHD, politoxicomania, kind of schizoid, schizophrenic tendencies that virtually never manifest, a weird person, no anxiety problem, chewing nicotine gum regularly, Selegiline 2.5mg/day, very healthy
My experience: I just took 1g on empty stomach, 1.5 hours later and I notice some kind of change but it is not really impressive and it is nothing alike baclofen, benzos or GHB, not at all. Also I can't agree with any of the reported effects, other than that I feel less impulsive somehow (= kind of nootropic). This was already so after maybe 15 minutes of taking only 250mg initially. Otherwise: Frustrated maybe, not caring as much about details and doing it all correctly - due to just emotional reasons it seems. Rather "unsatisfied", not intoxicated not mind-fogged not slowed down not calm not memory-impaired and what not effects are claimed to be usual with 1g.
Hope lead me to believe that maybe taking only 50mg a day or whatever makes some sense.
