Benzos Xanax to Phenibut to picamilon to normal

[lifequest]

Hi, I would like to share my experience with withdraws and tapering down from xanax. I was taking 2 mg of xanax three times a day for 5 years and decided to get of the prescription and be free from addiction. I first heard about Phenibut from a friend and read up on it. seemed to be a perfect supplement to wean off from xanax. So I slowly reduced my xanax to 1 mg 3 times a day for two weeks and was fairly no noticeable change in my anxiety. The 4th week I started the phenibut at 2 g in the morning on empty stomach to my surprise i felt ok but still carried xanax just in case. On the phenubut label instructs to cycle the dosage 2 days on and 2 days off but I have been taking it every day for 3 weeks. Finally off xanax I felt a little anxiousness at times but nothing I couldn't shake off. So I stopped taking phenibut cold turkey and found myself physically and mentally going through the worst panic attack. I looked for another Gaba agonist without side effects to wean off of phenibut now and found picamilon. I took 250 mg in the morning and 150 mg at night for about week and tapered off down to 50 mg two times a day with no ill effects. It has been three weeks now taking nothing but 3 mg of melatonin for sleep aid. I have been through benzo withdraw long ago and it was hell. hope this might help others to taper off of benzos. Now I mange my anxiety with exercise, diet and by the grace of God.

Thanks for sharing. I may give this a shot when I get ready to quit benzos.

Nice. Phenibut did basically nowt for GABA-A withdrawal for me, and picamilon was worthless. YMMV. But congratulations!
