Hey guys,

Today was my first time with Phenibut. I took 1 gram at around 9.30am... I was really tired though, so I slept from 10am to 1pm.

During my sleep I saw weird ass dreams, but didn't feel any different compared to before. So I took another gram after 4 hours.

I took both doses on an empty stomach. I ate 20 minutes after I took my second dose.

What should I expect guys? I know Phenibut takes a while to kick in, but I apparently have to drive somewhere so I am wondering when I am going to see the effects.

By the way, I took 1mg of Xanax three days ago. I read that they don't really have a cross tolerance with each other, but could Xanax be the reason?

Thanks everyone,

I took 2g at once the first time with phenibut, and I got a strong giddiness and stimulation at around the 5 hr mark. Sedation didn't kick in till a few doses later. I didn't recommend driving just because you may have a strong gabaergic reaction.
 
Have you guys dabbled in benzos? I'm curious to see if its a replacement ( when I run out of my rxd). I've read about its gabaergic effects but I have little faith in supplements.
 
Ive had tons of experience with both benzos n phbt and the effects are very different bzds make u dulled n calm quieten the mind where phbt pumps u up with fake confidence n makes u happy for a while
 
IIRC PB lowers seizure threshold which is not what you want during BZD withdrawal.
 
I had the opposite expericence with phenibut/benzo's. Phenibut makes me tired/dull and really didn't do anything after the first few times, benzo's make me energetic and happy/talkative if I take them when not alrealdy tired(if tired they make me sleep). I got Phenibut as a benzo replacement, a 100 gram tub..still there barely touched. And it also lowers the seizure threshhold unlike other Gaba drugs so probly not a good idea to take if a daily benzo useer when you run out. I didn't learn this till after I got it.
 
took 3.5G's of Phenibut this morning and feel pretty good; only been about 1.5hrs later.

I've been taking Phenibut for about 8yrs on and off; never picked up too bad of a habit, luckily.

I think 1G for your first try is just a bit too light. I am not sure how big you are (weight, height, etc) but its a relatively low dose. I would suggest trying 1.5-2G's since you've already tried 1G and got nothing from it.

btw, the benzos from the 3 days prior really plays NO PART in how the Phenibut would act.
 
Using now. I've been on it for 7 days (1st time use). The 1st 2 days were flipping amazing. How the hell is this still legal? I took only 1 gram total and I was flying, super happy, and nothing bugged me! Now day 7 I'm scared crap less of the withdrawal (I don't recommend what I've done break break break is the key here). Yesterday I took 2 grams and still felt like shit. I was able to sleep only waking once with sweats and a bit of anxiety. I'm trying to Taper down and use some herbs. From what I read I've set myself up for a nasty withdrawal. We shall see
 
gotta go 3 days on - 3 days off. never use more than 3 days in a row. you always need a good break w/ Phenibut for it to actually feel "great".

word! Benzo's dont make me tired at all, unless i take heroic doses (7mg etizolam OR 45mg zopiclone). I often find if i take them before bed and I don't want to sleep, i could procrastinate til the sun comes up, no bother!

I'm literally just now jumping off phenibut after a 9 month daily habit. I'm 52 hours past my last dose. I tapered very slowly down to 300mg over two months.

I stayed on phenibut because I was scared of withdrawals. Do yourself a favor and just get off it now. You've only been on it for a week, you can do a rapid taper and be fine. Don't let the fear of withdrawal make you stay on this shit.
