I haven't taken phenibut since Sunday. Monday night I ended up in the ER with my heart going nuts and them handing me a bunch of Ativan (never thought I'd want Ativan, I have to say, I never knew its effects were long lasting versus the Xanax that I had in my drawer which I already took with no help). Tuesday evening I felt almost alright with Wednesday being great. Today? I think I'm now withdrawing which wasn't that bad although it took some Kratom and Kava tonight to keep my head straight.
I've taken about 1g a day for 10-14 days until Sunday.
Over the last four days I've read almost every post on every forum I could find - from muscle head sites to drug-forum to random this and that - and NEVER did I find a thread that ended with positive things to say. If there's anything I can pass along here, it's to just never start with this stuff. Maybe if one truly kept it to 250mg-500mg max, and I think I felt those effects last week feeling great even with little sleep, but the addiction which you can't avoid just ain't worth it.
It did teach me the big lesson - stop taking shit to feel better. I needed that last kick in the ass given the two month old situation I'm in; I still could barely work these days with these PAWS after kicking a huge oxy habit, using phenibut set me back a week easy and reminded me of the whole point of what those of us that are kicking shit are actually doing. Yes, I broke my promise to myself with Kratom, but it's really helping out the electricity-feeling that I have all through my body and complete desperation I was feeling from the phen withdraw.
I not trying to beat on anyone here if they're on this stuff. And I'm a rookie when it comes to benzo problems (w/d's). I've had Valium in my drawer for ten years but its just not my thing short of taking 10mg to sleep at night. phenibut? Don't bother starting. It's an ugly story EVERY time. That's all I found online - story after story. Being that this in TDS here, I don't feel bad saying again: LEAVE PHENIBUT ALONE.
And thanks everyone ^ for responding to a half-written post that barely makes sense. I'm hoping that someone like me sees this when searching for how much they should take. I love everything as much as everyone here on this site does - this substance just ain't worth it. Fast road to nowhere. My $.02 at least.
