I'm almost 63 years old and have polyneuropathy. So I've been using a combo (unfortunately) of dr. prescribed gabapentin and self prescribed (dumb I know) phenibut to treat the nerve pain. I'm now also on opiates which have really reduced my pain issues. I want to try and get off the phenibut especially and possibly the gabapentin and see if I can just use the fairly low dose opiates.
I'm a little scared of the withdrawals due to my illness issues so I really need to be careful about doing this. I'm currently using fasoracetam and aniracetam as I decrease my dose of phenibut. My questions is what is a safe taper for the Phenibut?
At my height of use I was using 3400mg per day in 3 divided doses. I was able to drop pretty fast down to 1500 mg dropping a about 300 mg every three days. Now I'm down to 1050 mg and was thinking of going down 10% per week until I'm ready to jump off. Does that seem right? Could I safely go faster? I really want to be done with this.
And I know that Gabapentin can be used for Phenibut withdrawals and was wondering if I could temporarily up my dose of the gaba if I was struggling. I'm currently using 1800 mg per day. I also have some 50mg lyrica. Could those be used?
I'm really hoping someone has a little experience with this and can advise me.
