Hey guys, new to the forum here so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong area. Brief background... I've been taking Phenibut on / off over the course of the last 3 months. Last round I went through a bit of withdrawal when abstaining, the worst of it lasted about 3 days and full return to normal in about 5. Took about 2 weeks off after that.

I have been taking it over the course of 2 weeks, no more then 1 gram in a day with days off in between, and my last dose was on Saturday (1G). I started noticing withdrawal symptoms on Monday, and today (Friday) I am still having a bit of anxiety / shaky feeling. I was thinking about popping a 500 mg pill to take the edge off, but is this a bad idea?

Would I be prolonging / restarting the withdrawal process by doing so? I swear by this stuff, but realize it should only be used once a week, and that's what I plan on doing from now on.
 
well if you swear by the stuff why are you getting off of it?honest question...u are not taking very much so a quick taper would do you some good..go from 1000 to 750 for 3-4 days, then 500 etc etc...grab a few gabapentins if you can(online) and withdrawals will be gone..

honestly man, i doubt too may people addicted to phenibut actually manage to go back to using it once a week...
 
Thanks for your reply. I'm getting off of it because I don't want to become physically / psychologically dependent to it :) Let me clarify. I haven't had ANY phenibut in the last 7 days. None. I'm still having WD's, but they are very minor and involve primarily some anxiety, muscle twitches, minor itching, and some insomnia which just seemed to creep up on me in the last couple of nights.

I have the willpower to knock myself down to once a week or less. My plan was to take on Saturdays, and Saturdays only, no more then 500 mg. I never really got "addicted" to it, I just didn't understand it's true effects until now.

So basically my question is, If I redose today at 500 mg, would I just be re-starting the WD process all over again? If I took a pill today, would I have to bear another 7 days of WD's?
