After contemplating trying phenibut for a few months, I placed an order a few weeks ago. Took 1.2 grams before bed and then 2 more grams the next morning... One of the most incredible highs I've ever felt. If it could be compared to anything it'd be GHB, but less intoxicating & more speedy. Took two days off, tried 2.4 grams, did nothing. Took another day off, then went all-out with about 7 grams over the course of the day. Was fucked up for two days -- and not necessarily in a good way. Once it wore off, I couldn't sleep to save my life, and then came the onset of horrific anxiety. I tapered for a few days until I could get my Valium filled, then flushed the rest. Will never touch it again.
Insomnia and withdrawal after merely a few days of use, relatively broken up, is unlike anything else I'm aware of. No thanks.
As as if I needed another reason to hate those f*cking Soviets.... Lol
