Phenibut Experience

[PtahTek]

Phenibut is a little more difficult in an individuals xhem8so it's sometimes more difficult to nail down. But soon as I did 1.5g and about 5-6 hrs later in the middle of the everyday lunch rush which lasted hours there was never a problem that I remember.
It's different.
250mg helps me sleep really cozy at night but gotta take it at 6 or so and don't really feel anything from it just great sleep.
All a lot of anecdotal words hope I didn't bore you. lol

Depending on surroundings
Phenibut should be scheduled about 6 hrs before popping on the scene at a social event. Below 500mg and I get great sleep but not so much "high". Alone I don't feel a lot but know something is deferent.
Anyway when I did it it was 1.5g a day in early morning before work. Ever three days I took it for a couple years. It was magic. No matter what drama was going on in a busy/demanding kitchen it was nothing; everything seemed to be no problem and everyone was back to a team stat... magic imo/e. Ymmv
Be careful, yeah?
Be easy and safe
Peace

Yep, similar setup and results here. Nicely summarised. Only used it on a weekend. Dose first thing on empty stomach (important), 3-4g. Always had a great day. Did it for years.

I disagree with this from experience personally. I get wrecked from Kratom and it's lovely. But I agree with the other stuff you said.

I'd love if I had the same experience, since kratom is so freely available now a days, but I've never felt anything even remotely enjoyable from kratom. At least no opioid-like effects.

But then again, I'm use to stuff like heroin, tramadol, buprenorphine, methadone, codeine/morphine, etc..

I once had to go just 1 week through buprenorphine withdrawals & I used kratom (hoping it would take the edge off or even substitute for it). And I still barely slept a wink that entire week & was in such physical pain that I hardly moved or showered or anything. I've tried it at least 100 more times & still nothing worthwhile.

The extracts start to come a little close to feeling okay, but at the price they go for, I'd be better off spending that money on real opioids.

Phenibut just sucks.

And some people have to take their phenibut doses incredibly high in order to make it work.

Honestly, I like gabapentin with no tolerance. But phenibut couldn't really come close to gabapentin. Maybe slightly but too slightly & it also made me feel nauseous.

Agreed, I use to use phenibut on occasion until I found gabapentin. After that I do not like phenibut that much at all. But like tonight, I have not had gabapentin in 10 days and 1500 mgs has me nice. I also have pregabalin but I am one of the weird people that prefers gabepentin over pregabalin. I feel it has a deeper body relaxation where as pregabalin goes straight to my head. I feel the electrical feelings in the brain. Gabapentin seems more relaxing for me. I actually decline being prescribed pregabalin and stuck with gabapentin. I may be in the minority.

I honestly don't know how people get addicted to phenibut. It can have a grossness to it but because it can relax people it is overlooked.

Also I find gabapentin and phenibut very different.

Just with like dealing stress or did it help improve your performance/focus? I'm running a busyish kitchen for the first time in years and my line work sucks more than ever. My working memory is awful so I'm struggling with handling a lot of tickets at once. Already on elvanse but that doesn't necessarily make the service any easier than without.

Never went above 1.5 gs and one gram in social settings

What does this dose do that one or two grams doesn't do?

 

[BadBoy377]

I'm not sure it does that much more. Maybe it's a little stronger. Possibly I needed higher dose due to bodyweight and tolerance. When I first started out 1.5g was my sweet spot and it just gradually crept up. Just now. 3.5g is about perfect.

 

[agoraphobe]

Just now. 3.5g is about perfect.

See I think chat gpt messed me up. It was telling me 3g and over is "overdose/toxic". I assumed it was bs. I took 1 gram yesterday. Felt something but again not high. Will try 1.5 g next time I dabble

Just with like dealing stress or did it help improve your performance/focus?

All the above. Focus had me on point, performance was another side effect of focus. And it all went without the anxiety because what else is there to stress about if product is coming out as advertised and ordered? On time?
Of course not everyone is gonna be on the same page - ar we ever? - but it kinda gave me the attitude *I done mine lemme give you a hand if it's ok* type of disposition and willingly/happily apply that offer of assist if Mr and/or Ms Weeds was open to it.
Just enjoyed the experience and could sense everything going on around me at the same time. Weird but wonderful.
Phenibut does have its dangers like all other psychoactive and non-psychoactive substances. I would definitely suggest looking into the substance from different sides before jumping on that horse. If ya can keep usage down to where there will be no or little consequences if stopped abruptly then there is less liability for harm done.
Be careful, please; and if ya do try it I hope you find it a positive experience.

See I think chat gpt messed me up

Thanks for the laugh. I feel AI should be looked at with more harm reduction perspectives than drugs but that's me, ya know? Whattayado?

After experimenting multiple times now with phenibut I noticed a few things.

It hits much faster than what is advertised. I read everywhere you have to wait like 4 hours for the effects but I begin getting high after an hour.

It certainly lasts too long. I took 1750 mg Monday night and I swear to God I was still high Wednesday morning lol.

It has a profound effect on libido. I have never taken anything in my life that makes me more horny. I almost want to combine with Maca one day to see how horny this old man can still get.

If you have to speak publicly or socially for work it's very powerful. I'm a machine at my job when I use it. I think fast and verbally respond with confidence and authority.

I don't notice any body high whatsoever from it. It's almost entirely mental unless you include increased libido as a body high.

I will continue taking it. I'm worried 2g might make me too manic. Still might try.

 

[BadBoy377]

That sounds like a very positive result. Only thing I'd say if you want to maintain those results only dose one a week.

Sounds like a good dose for you. 2g is certainly not reckless but bare in mind the long half life. The hypomania is a thing.

You absolutely can combine with stimulants, multiple maca, gingko, ginseng throughout the day will definitely boost your activity. There is a synergy. I found ephedra extremely anxiogenic.

Anyway, sounds positive. Remember to keep dosage sensible as long as possible would be my top tip and once a week.

Horrible wd but pregabalin takes care of it but phenwbut not that great in pregab wd a weaker crap little brother to lyrica

Hi mate, I just recently tried Phenibut a couple of times, 1 gram and then 1.5 grams.
No problems with rebound anxiety or bad mood so far.

Never used any gabapentinoid, benzo, GHB/GBL, and sober from alcohol 25 years now.
Only use stims, psychedelics and K now.

What dosage/frequency would you say creates a tolerance?
Would you say taking 0.5 to 1g once per week (not consecutive days) would be likely to create either a tolerance or some rebound anxiety?

 

[BadBoy377]

Nah it's great to start with for sure.

I'm my opinion you'll be fine if you use it once a week, like every seven days at a single dose. Say on a Saturday. Obviously the longer you leave it in between the better. But I was fine using once a week for years. It's just lost a bit of it's magic now but I was a heavy drinker for years and various other things. But just stick to the phen and you should be fine at that regime. You may have to up the dose eventually. But don't go over four grams would be my advice.

This is all just based off my experience. It was great stuff though. The afterglow lasted into Monday for me from Saturday. Sunday's were great too. If you take it post workout seems to kick in harder and faster if exercise is your thing.

Let me know if I can tell you anything else.

Enjoy!
