Benzos Phenibut Tolerance Build Up

[FlawedByDesign]

I do apologize for not posting this in the mega thread below. If the mods could let this go a day before merging it would be greatly appreciated. I am currently in the midst of very high dose suboxone/etizolam withdrawal and I am seriously about to break the record of consecutive days without sleep(11 days). I had a grandmal seizure from using tramadol during etiz withdrawal a week ago to the day. I slept for about a hour or two the day before yesterday, othe than that I've been up for about 9-10 days(kinda hard to remember). I will say other than the insomnia and slight tremors I am about to come out through the other side. No longer feeling opioid w/d such has rls or hot/cold sweats, just can not fall asleep. Finally getting to the point: I have phenibut arriving today which was extremely helpful the last time I got clean from similar substances but as we all know the tolerance curve is a bitch. The first time I took it I was out cold but felt next to nothing the day after which resulted in me taking it every 3 days or so. My question is if anyone has experienced a decrease in effects using twice in one day? Like if I took 1500mgs for a bit of relif when the mail runs(5 pm) would it negate the effects of ~2gs taken a few hours before bed? Sorry again for the long my winded post and not using the mega thread, I'm just really banking on this for some sleep. I take sleep deprivation better than anyone I know but it's really starting to weigh on me. I am constantly starving from metabolism(sp?) never shutting off and auditory hallucinations are becoming consistent any time I focus on the silence.

Idk. Phenibut is a weird one. The first time I ever tried it, I thought it was amazing. I waited weeks before trying it again and was never able to get that feeling back. It still helps me w sleep when I take it, but that's all it does now. I wonder if it's bc I have a benzo tolerance. Anyway, it's lost its magic for me. I've read on the mega thread others who take it a couple times a week every week, and still love it.

Thanks for the reply. The same exact thing happened to me, I'm pretty sure I was in kratom withdrawals the first I used it and I remember intense euphoria/relief before passing out curled up on a beanbag chair in my SO's room. That was a few years ago and was the only time I ever felt euphoria but like you said it was still great for sleep the only other time I was completely clean from benzos/opioids last year when I thought I was looking at a year in jail for battering an officer(poking him in the chest while tripping by the grace of god/being super remorseful was reduced to a simple public intox)...sorry for sharing lol, Sleep deprivation turns me into a chatty Kathy at times lol

I've been trying on and off to kick kratom for months. What were your WD like?

Nowhere near as bad as a full agonist like oxy or terribly drawn like suboxone but it does have its own set of challenges. The sweats are pretty bad and I get pretty emotional. I've w/d from Kratom more times than I can remember. After being on it for YEARS you're looking at 5 solid days of yuck followed by PAWS and all that good stuff.
