Here's some information before you decide Phenibut is right for you:
- It is generally advised to use Phenibut no more than twice a week with at least 3 days in between.
- Practically, it can only provide benefits for a short time due to very fast build up of tolerance. It is suggested to have breaks when you notice this beginning to happen.
- It has the ability to cause mild to very severe withdrawal symptoms when used incorrectly - it has the potential to be as severe as alcohol or benzodiazepines.
- To help with the quite personal issue of dependence, that you may not want to see a doctor about, contact us regarding other medications.
Similar advice goes for Fluorophenibut:
- There has been little research outside anecdotal evidence regarding dose, duration of action, the timeline of developing tolerance and severity of withdrawal symptoms.
- Anecdotal experience and research have suggested that it is 5 to 10 times more potent than regular Phenibut, requiring lower doses.
- It starts to take effect much faster. This seems to vary from 20 to 60 minutes on an empty stomach. suggesting it may be helpful for during acute episodes of anxiety, panic attacks and short term insomnia.
- It is possible the withdrawal symptoms could be more severe.
Baclofen is without a doubt the best way to manage withdrawal as they are very closely related to phenibut. Gabapentinoids and benzodiazepines can help but come with their own risks.
