Hi,
I'm a healthy 23 y/o male, I don't have any experience with drugs and a few months ago I decided to try L-theanine and Phenibut.
L-theanine gave me a great effect, a more chill and social mood.
Since I read it is completly safe, I've been taking it almost daily for a couple of months, around 50-150mg a day.
With phenibut, I tried staying as safe as possible.
I took it 6 times total, waiting at least 3 weeks between dosing, and relatively small dosages (750mg - 1g).
Even though I really enjoyed the effects of phenibut, I noticed it gave me muscle related side effects.
In the first few times, an uncontrollable contraction of especially the lips and the fingers usually the day after use.
4th - 5th time it was a more severe muscle fasciculation which lasted a few days.
And in the last 2 months I've been suffering from muscle twitching all around my body. short, mild, random muscle contractions usually in the face or legs.
My last phenibut use was more than a month ago, I continued taking L-theanine untill 3 days ago and stopped but it doesn't seem to make such a difference.
I'm wondering if my usage could have caused this even though I tried staying as safe as possible?
Could the ongoing l-theaning use cause that? (serotonin syndrome maybe? I do feel much more social and relaxed these days then I was prior to start using it)
Any words of wisdom regarding my situation and what should I do now to recover are GREATLY appriciated.
Thank you.
