Are there many people out there with experience with this stuff?
A little history: I've been addicted to opiates for about 5 years, mainly oxycontin and heroin (never shot up). But about 2 years ago I started doing Xanax, then about a year and a half ago my mother died from an overdose and it really made me think about my drug use. Basically I started on Suboxone for the opiate withdrawals, and I had to do Xanax cold turkey which was only about 5 months ago, and I still haven't fully recovered from that.
So about 2.5-3 months ago I started taking Phenibut (Primaforce), because the anxiety from the Xanax Withdrawals (this would have been about 2-3 months into Xanax withdrawal) was too overwhelming. I read reports of Phenibut addiction but it seemed like it was a lighter version of benzo withdrawal but only 5-7 days with another 7-10 day crappy period. But I am worried that it will be much worse for me because of my Xanax history. The thing is, Phenibut affects Gaba-B, while Xanax affects Gaba-A, so I'm hoping that the damage isn't in the same area, and won't take as long to heal, but I am afraid I may being too optimistic, but I'm also depressed right now, so I may also be being negative.
So any experience or thoughts?
