Posted in Gabapentinoids, but I'm not sure if that's the right place. Mods, feel free to move it you think it would be better suited elsewhere.
So this past week I've been getting a lot of shaking, racing heart, anxiety, and insomnia, along with very uncomfortable rushing feelings every few minutes . The only time it ever really went away was if I took phenibut or alcohol. I use alcohol infrequently so I pretty sure it's not that. Phenibut on the other hand I use every third day, usually at dosages around 700mg. I've been taking phenibut for a few months. So I think it might phenibut withdrawal, or at least rebound anxiety.
Before all this started, I bought some memantine that I was planning on using at recreational dosages. I have read some anecdotes that memantine at theraputic dosages can help with phenibut withdrawal, but what about at recreational dosages? I was thinking of taking 50mg for my first time. I just don't want to make it worse, especially given memantine's long duration.
Also, everything I've read says to taper phenibut, with instructions for how much to cut off every day. I only take it every third day. Should I taper down on the days I do take it? It seems counterintuitive considering I've been feeling shitty for ~60 hours at that point.
Thanks for any help. I feeling pretty lost about all this right now.
