I always read how this is a great sleep aid but yet I find it NEVER putting me to sleep; I use Phenibut the same way I used GHB; thats to get FIRED THE FUCK UP and feel good. no matter how much I take it doesnt seem to knock me out. I constantly read how people use it to catch a better nights sleep and knock themselves out, but I find trouble w/ this.

I take anywhere from 2-4G's at a time; sometimes even twice a day. it doesnt knock me out. just 3 hours ago I took 6G's hoping to put me to sleep but here I am writing on this board instead.

I know this is not the most popular drug around, so maybe not many have exp. but to those who do, any help is appreciated.

to those who dont know Phenibut.. it's alot like GHB; look it up. it's still legal here in the US - GOOD TIMES!
 
The hypnotic effect of phenibut is quickly neutralized by tolerance - if your body is used to using it at a "recreational level" then it won't make you tired and give you good sleep.
 
damn, I figured that. and my body is def. use to Phenibut at this point; esp. since I take 2-4MG 3x's a week minimum. was hoping me throwing down 6MG would knock me out tonight but its 221AM and I am still wide awake and feeling "good" from the Phenibut dosing (that along w/ bupe).
 
I wish it was that easy.. because believe me, I do enough of ALL OF THOSE.. and I still DONT SLEEP! you are talking to a straight heroin junkie! an ex benzo junkie! and I just smashed my car/DUI last week due to alcohol; so trust me, I know all about those drugs but they dont knock me out.
 
Works for me , it's in Ronnie Coleman's Signature Series Resurrect P.M. Which is a supplement sleep aid and not many other ingredients stick out for sleep I mean there's zinc but then there's vitamin B I think 6 which is looked at for energy ...creatine I believe is in there too , HICA , GABA and some other things as it's sleep and recovery supp.
 
I can't do Phenibut for more than a couple days straight, I get intense withdrawals instantly. I don't seem to be the only one either, many people I've talked to about it seem to experience rapid tolerance and withdrawal, very surprised that it's legal. But when used on the odd occasion, I get a great sleep from it.
 
Phenibut helps me sleep through benzo withdrawal although often causes me to oversleep because of it's long lasting nature. It's still better than not getting any sleep , never felt any anxiolytic properties though.
 
I didnt sleep at all last night; did about 6G's last night around midnight and didnt pass out, but got FIRED UP; this morning at 6AM did another 2-4G's and came to work and I am ready to jump through the roof.

also shot .5MG bupe twice this morning and will be grabbing a gram of dope later today and will blast that off as well.

will have to pick up benzos later to help me sleep.

wow, just reading that right there makes me feel like such a junkbox.. its sad!
 
I always felt like it made me sleep harder but didn't really make me sleepy in general. In fact, sleep harder not in a good way, cause I get 8 hours of sleep and even 1 - 1.5g of phenibut will leave me extremely tired in the morning.
 
phenibut is a strange one..ive used it for several years, daily and i find a maintenance dose like 2 grams a day does the trick for mood elevation...i dont use it for sleep though, it doesnt work well in that are at all for me..i use it in higher doses (5-6 grams) and it gives me a tremendous energy boost and makes me much more loosened up and social without slurring like benzos and alcohol..plus, phenibut is great in that it actually enhances sex drive instead of killing it like many anti-anxiety meds..

ive tried using it for sleep and it actually kept me up..

whoever mentioned using opiates, alcohol and benzos to sleep is insane..you will wake up feeling like complete shit..
 
It is shit, and it's not a junkie friendly drug anyway, imo...take enough and I couldn't feel the rush from a shot of dope, no matter how much I used...
 
funny cuz a buddy of mine went out and grabbed some dope for me tonight and when he came by to drop it off I gave him 3G's of Phenibut; he's never done it before but he's done GHB w/ me many times so I figured he'd love it. anyway, I just called him now asking where he is, whats up, blah blah.. and he's telling me, "kid, you should have told me how fucked up I would get; I feel like I G'd out". I figured he'd be fine w/ the Phenibut since he's done plenty of G w/ me over the years and also a pretty good junkie like myself.

Click to expand...

whaaaat are some people maybe more sensative it phenibut>>? Cuz it does jack shit for me, besides taste horrid.. and I've taken huge amount just to try to get some sort of feel, but nope. 1g,5g,10g, 12g... nothing
 
Seems like you are either:

A) Non-responder (does shit)
B) Negative-responder (puking, spins, no good feels)
C) Positive-responder (euphoria, anxiolysis, feels good man)

I was C. I loved Phenibut until the side effects outweighed the positive effects. I had about a month of pure hypomania when I first started it - I was euphorically happy all day errrrday shitting rainbows out of my ass. I wrote a detailed story of my experience here if anyone wants to read it.
 
^^i STILL get the hypomania after taking 5 or so grams...

i have given it to 4-5 friends, most didnt feel anything, one felt a 'different' feeling but nothing like a high..its weird as i still insist ive never gotten high off of phenibut, it is just a mood enhancer if u are a good responder and find the right dosage..
 
Phenibut always worked for me, was amazing the first couple times. I had a buddy who kept saying how he wanted to eat a ton of phenibut to get fucked up. Well I give him 10gs, he eats it all and nothing happens...or so he says. Couple days later he wants to try again, so he takes around 5gs and ended up passing out on his kitchen floor for hours. Goofy shit but I have no idea why it worked for him that time and did nothing the other..
 
I prefer smaller doses, under 1g per dose.
Maybe 2-3 times a day.. I am also on benzos daily (only damn addiction i cant beat).
Maybe they just synergize nicely enough for me to be content with lower dosing?
I donno, but i use it daily.. if i miss a day or something i have never gotten wds.. possibly the benzos cover it up?
When i first started phenibut it was to replace my prescription of gabapentin that i had stopped. (Great replacement IME btw)

Doesn't work too well for sleep until you've been using it for a while IMO.
Caused a little hypomania (as others have noted) but I'm used to it, i have schizoaffective disorder :\ .
My meds seemed to combat it well enough for me not to go fully manic. (Risky gamble i took there lol).
Very pleasurable effects from it. I have chronic leg pain and RLS and it helps tremendously with both.
