When I first get a new tub I start with 1.5-1.8 grams. By the end of it I'm taking anywhere from 3-4 grams in a day.
And then I try to ween off of it for the last few grams and at worst feel some anxiety and restlessness on the first day without. Then by day 2 or 3 by the latest I'm back to pre-tub state.
I do skip days, as in, I do my best to not take it daily. I usually succeed but I go against people's advice on BL as far as how often it should be taken.
I've gone through multiple tubs since 2008, and never experienced WDs. It's just the soreness I have beef with, and the racing heart/murmurs. Other than that, I really love the confidence and creativity or rather looseness/ social lubricant it provides. It's sort of like being semi buzzed from alcohol without it being too obvious to the people around you, but totally obvious to me, and enjoyable for that. I also love the duration of effects. It's hard to find a substance that gives you what you're looking for while lasting a good long while.
I dont understand why Phenibut is lumped in with nootropics, I've never had such luck with nootropics and have loads of tubs of various nootropics.. Maybe I should dabble in them again since I don't drug too hard these days and I've been eating extremely healthy. Perhaps they'll finally give the boost I've always sought after with them.
