I have recently acquired some Phenibut. I am aware that it is somewhat similar in its mechanism of action to Pregabalin. I have been taking Pregabalin 400mg per day in two divided doses for about 10 years. My tolerance is pretty big. If I take 400mg all in one go, I don't feel a thing. I'm not sure how much Pregabalin it would take to have an effect on me.

My question is will Phenibut do anything for me and what kind of dose might work? I'll take one pill first of all just to check I'm not allergic, but as long as that goes okay, where should I start?

Thank you!
 
Aye, it should do but it can be quite a subtle drug until you get a feel for it. It's definitely distinct from pregabalin.

To get the most out of it you MUST take it first thing on an empty stomach. I'd suggest a sensible starting dose of 1.5g. if that's not working for you then you can increase by half a gram a week until you hit your sweet spot. You'll know when you get there. I wouldn't recommend going over the 4g mark personally. NEVER dose more than once a week. Don't combine it with other gabaergic substances until you've got a feel. But really just don't, it will mess up your gaba receptors. I'd recommend you skip the morning dose pregabalin when you take it. It will cover you. Maybe the evening dose too depending how you feel. You could maybe start at 2g depending on your bodyweight given your tolerance. But being cautious will pay off in long run.

As I say it can be kinda subtle till you get it. I see it more as a mood elevator, when you get your dose dialed in it's really good. It will potentiate other drugs too. It does take a few hours to kick in fully. Don't re-dose.

I'd recommend washing it down with caffeinated beverage helps it kick in quicker.

It can bite you in the arse if you let it, far out of proportion to the high. But stick to the rules of only once a week and avoid other gabaergics and you should be golden and when you hit your sweet spot you'll enjoy a relaxing but uplifting mood elevation that lasts long into the next day.

That is very helpful, just what I was looking for. Thanks. And I will be careful, having been through alcohol withdrawal I try and treat this whole class of drugs with respect now.
