good idea or bad idea? what can I expect? will it send my gaba-a into craziness? how long does it last? how bad is the rebound? thanks<3
 
Phenibut works on GABA-B, but it may help relieve some withdrawals..

But I'm not too familiar with gabaergic withdrawal.. it might come back round 10x worse once the phenibut wears off?

It last(ed) about 24 hours for me. I pretty abruptly tapered a pretty heavy usage pattern of phenibut (multiple grams a day) and found withdrawals minimal.. but i could have done the perfect taper or somethin.. I have heard phenibut withdrawals to be nasty.
 
It helps a lot with the withdrawals. And is helpful if you immedietly start tapering off the phenibut, like start with a 2g dose - then adjust it up accordingly if need be the next day or two, and then immedietly start dropping the phenibut dose by .2 to .5g every day. It itself will cause awful withdrawals if used in high doses for more than two weeks.

But make sure to wait at least 5 hours after your first dose before you adjust your dose up. My first time I took 1.5, waited two hours, then took 2g more, then waited another two hours, then took a whopping 4g more. I awoke on my couch five hours later as my roommate got home from the graveyard shift. I was very high in a bad way and wretched my guts out several times after that. Felt nauseous for two days afterwards.
 
i just took some. prolly 600 mg. im waiting now. ills ee if it helps. hopefully it does.
