Im having very adverse reactions to phenibut right post now. Cant post full story cuz head is a mess.

Taking ~12g a day for the past month. SO much paranoia anxiety. High stress job at starbucks and if i start lowering doses its even worse. I literally feel like im about to pass out or start seizing. Read about burning smells being a precursor and i keep smelling something weird right now and im on the verge of panic. at work on phenibut its mostly great and makes work fun and easy but lately ive been having episodes of my vision going blurry and almost feeling like im passing out. very scary


ive started noopept recently too and when i take it sublingually it seems to help calm me and lower anxiety...but i need to dose it every 2-3 hours. this is the worst its been and imm so scared to go to work tomorrow. im planning on starting a slow taper tomorrow but im so anxious idk what to do. my leg just went numb.
 
Thing is I love my job. I am just finding it impossible to get off of my 12g a day phenibut habit while having a job there. I just need to be off it once and for all. I dont know why i let myself fall in this trap again. Thought I could use phenibut responsibly this time but the SAME thing happened as every other time. Go figure.

Wasnt too hard to get off Phen in the past though. I would just take xanax for 5 days and "wake up" on the 6th day with little to know WDs.

Anxiety has subsided a lot for now. Can actually take the time to type haha. Hopefully it was just anxiety and not something else more serious.

Hope i can get to sleep before it creeps back
 
best of luck mate, if you are at least semi in the range of seriousness of 12grams a day
 
Omg for the love of god, at the very least drink water that shit if so bad for your kidneys. Despite loving your job, you might want to consider someting less fast paced as SB can get hectic during busy times, especially depending on location.
 
well we are in a high traffic shopping mall, so needless to say it's been nuts during the holiday season.
i took 9 g about an hour ago im hoping that can get me through the day

and i've been trying to drink lots of water. I can feel a very uncomfortable burning sensation in my lower back area...what i would guess to be my kidneys or maybe bladder
 
wow man best of luck, I find phenibut actually only really works if you use it once a week max. I used to use it like 5 times a week and it just stopped working but then took a 2 week break and the magic was back. But your gaba receptors are probably fried I'd drink a lot of water, maybe try some cranberry juice as I've heard that is beneficial for the bladder.
 
thanks man. i actually have some cranberry juice on hand as i use it to mix my shot of phenibut in, ironically. and yeah, phenibut and heroin are the only things that have ever completely worked for my anxiety. I havent done heroin in over a year now and won't go back because of all the bullshit that goes along with it. i really wish i could keep phenibut at a 2x/week regimen. i always have the intent/knowledge to do so, but always quickly fall into daily usage.
 
yesterday was actually fine at work, thankfully. I ed but was extremely anxious when i start calmed down the rest of the 8 hr shift. i started feeling a bit anxious when i got off but not too bad.

i fell asleep.. and had a dream where there was an earthquake but it was so real and i could literally feel my body shaking violently for a couple minutes it seemed like. I woke up anxious and nauseous. My tongue is sore today and im scared i may have had a seizure.
 
This is what happens to people that abuse Phenibut. I know - I was one of them. Sounds like the honeymoon phase is over. The only experiences that lay ahead are increasing side effects if you continue down this path. You should have used the holiday to taper off. I would not be able to work a fast-paced job while going through Phenibut withdrawal.
 
Lol I just made a post on the exact same thing a few weeks ago... I have 2 weeks clean off phenibut now with the help of neurontin. Just get some neurontin or a benZo and do a rapid taper and just get off it. That's the only way. I tried cold turkeying and that shit makes heroin withdrawal look wimpy. Best of luck to u. Believe me it's worth it to get off that poison and to be certain you are not damaging your organs!! All I kept getting was side effects at the end of my addiction!! And I was at 3 g 2x a day but a lot of days I would take more.
 
I cant find ANY benzos and dont know where to get neurontin! Ive been looking for benzos NONSTOP the past few days with no luck. I practically get these offered to me once a week seems like and i always decline. of course this happens now.

Today i decided, Im gonna stop being a wimp and cold turkey it and just fight through the next 5 days. The first couple hours weren't too bad. Just lots of anxiety but nothing TOO drastic considering. Then i got to 11am which was about 27 hours since my last dose and thats when shit got SCARY. I felt so out of it like i was in a dream...couldnt stop shaking and was certain id fall down into a seizure. I tried to fight through it at work...my coworker even gave me a buspar and it actually may have taken the edge off a little..

i ended up having to go home early...just told my boss i was really dizzy and sick. I walked home cuz i dont have a car (about 3 miles) and THAT was so scary, Was in a total haze the whole way..feeling my chest in fear of having a heart attack...heart rate was through the roof but somehow i made it home.

I immediately dosed 12 g of phenibut when i got home. (about 3pm...its now 5pm my time) about an hour later a lot of the withdrawals subsided and i ate some food. Now theres definitely wd there but theyll probably leave in an hour and ill just feel all the negative sides of 12 g of phenibut. But it sure beats that hell i was experiencing just a couple hours ago. Im stuck in a sccary spot right now. Ive gotten off this stuff fine with benzos i just cannot find any.

I really dont know what to do right now.
 
You need to taper down man. GABA B withdrawals are serious business. That dreamy feeling you are talking about can progress to full-blown delerium and hallucinations, just like with GHB/GBL withdrawals or delerium tremens. It happened to me and it was terrifying, I didnt understamd what was going on and became totally lost in the psychosis and delusions. I wouldnt have gone CT but was arrested and had to endure the withdrawals in jail. It was a hellish experience. Be careful about this, be reasonable.
 
i felt like i was on the edge of full blown delerium today. whats really
scaring me now is i dosed 12g 3 hours ago now and i still feel anxiety/panic/out of it.
 
As to why anyone insist on high doses and regular use, especially daily for an extended period, is beyond me.

When first reading about it, everything said was quite clear that abuse such as high doses and daily use, was quite frankly a recipe for disaster.

After seeing the potential it had, I knew I had to respect it. I use it two days out the week, basically Friday and Saturday, it is damn near a wonder drug.

Couldn't be greedy and risk ruining it for good. I've even had a few issues with this dosing schedule, some actually quite severe, but they usually all reside in a couple days.


Recently I've had a few health issues, a cold and what not, on top of other shit, hindering my usual weekend activities, so basically I've had about 8 weekend off if not more, so hopefully this did the mind and body good, probably also put a knock in the little if any tolerance I developed.
 
doesnt really help me at this point though. im so scared on what to do. im scared im going to have a mental breakdown even on phenibut now

From what I hear gabapentin helps in assistance to phenibut w/ds, which would lead me to believe that Lyrica is just as good if not even better for this.

Also I'd assume balofen is also ideal for the w/ds perhaps, of course, probably benzos as well.

I'm assuming you probably have none of these on hand?

Nope none. And i dont know how id go about getting them either.
 
Me personally, I'd probably go to an ER or Urgent Care for anxiety/panic attacks, aiming for benzos. Lucky for me my urgent care is pretty much open to giving me anything my heart desires, love that guy.

I wouldn't tell them about my use of phenibut, because, to be honest, it makes you sound like a crazy and reckless drug addict. Not that you are just that, I don't know, but in the eyes of these people anything aside from their tried and trued pharmaceuticals as directed, you're equivalent to a crack addict.

I don't know how good that would do you. Wouldn't want to become dependent on those, but, in case of risk of a seizure, they aid in that, also, they aid in anxiety, maybe two weeks worth, I think that could help you get through the hump.
