Thanks guys. I ended up seeing a psychiatrist tuesday night because I was freaking out so badly and I start a new job next week. He prescribed me a sleeping pill for one night, and 300mg gabapentin 3x a day, which I'm to take in place of either phenibut or klonopin, and ostensibly to taper off from sometime in the future.
I got a good night's sleep last night and the night before, and I took the gabapentin yesterday and plan to do the same today. I haven't had panic since, just that background drone of anxiety and depression but I'm sure those will go away with time. I went for a run and today plan to do the same, and go to yoga.
The gabapentin doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect other than maybe making me spacey but I'm not sure if I'd be that way anyway. I'd rather not replace one drug with a similar one but my main concern is staying sane for my new job and right now I think I will be able to do that. I don't think it would make sense for me to go back to the phenibut right now, even though I am definitely craving it. Everything seems a little boring without it. Just drinking coffee instead!
