I am reading about Phenibut and some people say it is relaxing and good for sleep while others claim it gets them a feeling of "high" and buzzed. What is the real effect of this stuff?

you get reaally relaxed. i dunno if its really social kinda thing, cuz when i took it, i couldnt make good conversations, all i wanted to do was just stay home and listen to music.


it also makes you feel a lil..... impaired for the lack of a better term.

just w.e you do, dont smoke weed with it. trust me.

also you dont really talk much while on phenibut. you just listen to others.

If you decide to try it, be prepared for serious withdrawl's.

It has a some of all the noted effects. In smaller doses, it is calming and gives you a feeling of well-being, while also making you more sociable. But, in larger doses, it can be very intoxicating, causing what I call a slightly "retarded" feeling, where things seem to go into slow motion and you have a difficult time interacting and communicating with people. When you come down, you will feel like a train wreck. I would leave it alone.

how does phenibut compare to 5-HTP or tryptophan??

so phenibut has a more noticeable effect then 5-htp/trypto.. Has anyone tried valerian?

Phenibut seems to have different effects on different individuals. For me, it is mainly stimulating, with a sedating effect kicking in at the end, after many hours. I don't think Phenibut is liable for dependence unless you are a complete knucklehead. I think that it is a great nootropic at smaller doses, promoting creativity and ease of speech. At higher doses, it is a somewhat intoxicating stimulant, but a very safe one in my opinion because, if you take too much Phenibut, you will know, due to the nausea and dizziness that you will probably experience.

also, is it safe to combine phenibut with other sleep aids such as melatonin or ZMA? And the other way around, is it safe to stack other sleep supplements?

I believe Phenibut should be safe with Melatonin or ZMA, but I have only combined it with Melatonin.

Mild sleep aids like ZMA and Melatoninin can probably be combined safely. If they work at all is another matter.

Do not, however, combine Phenibut with sedating anti-histamines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, etc. Use common sense. Get an understanding of how your body reacts to Phenibut and then you will naturally understand about interactions with other substances.

Phenibut....ooohhhh shhhit... I went way overboard with Phenibut, i live in a stressful neighborhood so the shit made me relax for the evening and calm down after a training session...yes it does become "euphoric" at larger doses but not as euphoric as GHB for example . It extiguishes all anxiety and makes u more sociable fo sho ... BUT when u aint got no mo' well thats when the PAYBACK begins...We all know benzodiazepine (ativan, xanax, valium, etc..) withdrawal is HELL and this is exactly the same! Since i got a good mental i endured my withdrawal , only lasted 1 n half weeks but u can have panic attacks during that period becuz of way up increased anxiety....not to mention the rapid heartbeats and the short breath ... SUX.. stick to eatin sum weed-cookies bro

Had to mention too ... i got a mini-seizure frum that shit (never had one before) when i mixed a higgggh-dose of Phenibut with sum aniracetam then had a nap...shhhit i woke up with my tongue bitten and with mini-electrical shocks runnin all over my body, like id hold a glass and SNAP in a second it would almost fall.... SUXXX Aniracetam sucks too btw, made my trainings much more difficult tiring quicker than normal...
Bro stick with Glutamine, ZMA, Creatine, Aminos, ProHormones if u want, B-Vitamins, C vitamin, Proteins, Citrulline-Malate, NO shit,
Phenibut is a bad excuse for having a GHB addiction , if u wanna go down the road to hell and to fuck up yer life well then go in the big door and get addicted to GHB its almost the same bullshit as Phenibut ... Gay shit.

I am interested in trying this, is it better to get the pills which total 22grams or the 30gram powder? How are you supposed to take the powder anyways, do you mix it with water?

I would just get the pills..I heard it tastes like shit and doesn't mix very easily

It mixes easily but does taste like ass. Just man up and drink it. I have had way worse.

Anybody hell-bent on getting wasted can abuse anything, be it alcohol, inhalants like gasoline, pills, or GHB. If a person has addiction problems or has a history of such in his family, he may want to be careful with any substance, be it Phenibut or Benadryl, alcohol or Valium.

Phenibut is much safer than GHB and its action is different. Comparing the two is not productive and will only make prohibitionists and the sensationalist media latch on and criminalize another useful substance.

Phenibut should be understood as an occasional supplement, not a recreational drug. If you are considering buying Phenibut to get fucked up and high, just go and get drunk instead. It's cheaper and will work better. If, however, you feel you are intelligent enough to improve your life through chemical supplementation, Phenibut will allow you to use your brain and body more effectively.

Apparently, cogno418 has an addiction problem and is not able to control himself. That does not mean that others will have the same problems with Phenibut.

A quality supplement also helps you to keep control of your body weight and improve physical fitness, so an herbal nutritional supplement could help you to keep fit.

As well as a depleted intake of vitamins and nutrients there are many more toxins in the atmosphere that can directly damage our vitamin levels so even those who eat a perfectly healthy diet may find benefit from taking a nutritional multivitamin supplement.

Hey hey heeyy Amino-boy!
Even if taken in small dose , if u takin it regularly u will have to suffer the withdrawal. IT has a long half-life (dats the time it takes to clear out of yer system) so if u take it once in 2-3 days regularly be it recreationnaly or not u will have to suffer the withdrawal.
Yes i once was addicted to everythang possible! But now i aint to nothin so i know about all the withdrawals and i can tell u that benzodiazepine, phenibut withdrawals can be dangerous and are fukin hell especially when your at work...
Im not sayin this is bad stuff, its non-toxic and can relax a stressed out mind and body, but all is in balance .... U go up = u go down .
Gains are bigger when takin phenibut BTW....
take care yall

And...it does taste like a granny's ass so this was my tecnique..
A glass of orange juice a rounded soup-spoon of Phenibut,
Pinch yer nose ,drink it as fast as can be, take a bite out of an apple, de-pinch yer nose and enjoy....
U will get the same GABA sensation in 20-30 minutes as takin GABA and the phenibut sensation 2-3 hours later. If u take it in the late evening ull get up fuct up. This was actually enjoyable for me tho.
Once a week is the best.
