Thanks for sharing your info. What difference would it be to spread 5g vs. taking 5g all at once?
You say it's bad for my stomach lining which concerns me because I've experienced ulcers before and things like ibuprofen landed me in the hospital (I took it on an empty stomach).
And if it's so acidic that it could dissolve my teeth in days like the other posters have been saying then why would I wanna dissolve it in water and drink it? Is this my choice? Ruin my teeth or risk an ulcer?
I can't speak for how bad it is for your stomach lining but it is true that I often get some heart burn from it which Pepcid AC will make go away and also a little milk to coat the stomach.
I've never dissolved it in water so I can't say how that would be different, and I've never used Phenibut more than 2 days in a single week and would not recommend doing more than that, but I never had teeth problems.
However, if your stomach is that sensitive to something like Ibuforen then you could find it irritated by Phenibut so I don't know what else to suggest other than an ant-acid like Pepcid AC and some milk which help me.
I guess other than that I'd suggest trying FFA over HCL because FFA is IMO less acidic FOR ME, and the taste is quite different, like HCL to me tastes like PURE SALT whereas FFA tastes like flour, so maybe try that type.
Yes, there are different types of Phenibut, but HCL and FFA are both "regular" Phenibut, i.e. the same drug (I don't know what the differences are structurally, only that they feel the same but taste different and one is more acidic (HCL), but Fluro-Phenibut is a different drug altogether, though related, but in many ways closer to baclofen and I personally prefer it to regular Phenibut, but it's untested and is an RC whereas regular Phenibut is used for prescription in Russia so we know more about the risks.
I will agree with CosmicG DO NOT take 5 grams!!
The most I've ever taken is 4 grams and that is the most that is recommended to take IN A WEEK on the tub, not even in one shot, and that amount knocks me the fuck out and is honestly not even as fun as doses closer to 3 grams which I'd say are probably best, I think my sweet spot was usually around 3,400mgs with Kratom, and even that is a very high dose.
But I don't think there's any reason you wouldn't be just fine taking 2 grams all in one shot and that is a pretty standard average size dose that will be relaxing and for me even at times slightly stimulating.
Did you say you had only taken 250mgs or did you say 750mgs?
Even 750mgs is very low.
I would either go for 2 grams next time all in one shot, or if you want to work your way up more slowly than maybe 1.5 grams, and take Pepcid AC with a glass of milk about 30 mins prior and maybe you won't be bothered by the acid, but in the future if you buy it online I'd suggest you buy the FFA rather than HCL and there are well known vendors I can't mention who have both.
I think you'd be just fine going with 2 grams in one shot next time, but I wouldn't exceed that till you see how you respond.
