Phenobarbitol

[drscience]

What would be a good recreational dose for Phenobarb? (what's too much? I weigh 165) I'm lucky to get my hands on barbituates...I wanna enjoy them to the fullest.

They are 60mg tablets...took 3 so far...feeling pretty drunk.

TIA

If you feel pretty drunk, thats probably enough.

Kinda just wondering what the max dose is. Don't want to go near the point where it goes from fun to "I want this to end"

its recommended not to exceed 400mg per 24 hours. 100-200 mg is recommended once daily for insomnia and you've already taken 180mg. if you already feel drunk i would say you're good. you could try maybe 1 or 2 more but once you're at the "oh shit i want this to end" then it's already too late.

ok cool thanks.

Barbituates are rarely prescribed nowadays right?

PB is still prescribed sort of frequently. Lots of vet use though.

IMO it wasn't all that recreational.

I agree. It sucks.

Phenobarbital can be used up to 320mg as a hypnotic, but is usually recommended at the doses you described.
