The following takes place during the time between this June 10th and June 26th. On the 10th, after using Phenibut to ease an Adderall comedown that I absolutely had to ease, it was so amazing that I decided I would try it out to help me through Adderall withdrawal as I wanted to quit. I took 2g my first night, and it ended up making me feel better than I had ever felt––completely normal, which was euphoric in itself, since it had been so long that I had forgotten what normal felt like. (And I've taken klonopin for a while.) It felt like I discovered the magical key to solve my problems, although I knew of course this doesn't exist and had done enough research to know I had to proceed with caution.
I decided taking no more than 2g every other day would be fine, despite more conservative recommendations I saw online. The directions on my phenibut said "Don't take more than 2g a day, and don't take for more than 5 days without at least a 2 day break." I followed my every-other-day plan for about a week, taking 1.5g and 1g the next two doses.
By the 20th, I began using it every day for some reason, and in higher amounts. The most I took in a day was 4g, but I can't remember which days I took which. I wasn't taking my klonopin or adderall. By the 22nd, I was feeling pretty manic, I guess giddy is the word. On the 23rd I had to stay up all night in order to finish a report, and took 80mg of Adderall to do so (very stupid, I know), in addition to 3g phenibut earlier. I slept for about 6 hours later that day though, but then ended up going out and getting only ~4 hours of sleep or less the 24th. I had three drinks that night too.
At this point I started getting weird physical symptoms, that felt like a horrible flu, but not. I had horrible diarrhea on the 25th, my eyes and head felt like there was hot air blowing in (not literally...but just dry, pressure, hurt-y), I felt almost like a cold was coming on but it wasn't, sore throat, no appetite. And taking phenibut seemed only to increase my anxiety. So on the 25th I took 1.5g and the 26th I took none. I plan to avoid it for at least a week, as I'm pretty turned off to it right now. I did however end up taking 60mg of adderall today, which helped me immediately.
So, I know there's a lot going on here, and I'm confused. I obviously am going to be extremely cautious with phenibut from now on since I know how quickly it can get bad. And really I don't even think I need much, so next time I'll stick with 500mg. My question is, do you think my physical nastiness is the result of my Phenibut abuse the past few days, or is it like, some sort of withdrawal? Should I be worried about withdrawal getting worse in the coming days? I don't know why I thought I needed to take so much. It got to the point where I think I was telling myself that shitty feelings caused by too much phenibut were actually my body wanting more phenibut. Guh.
