This stuff works great! It isn't the sort of thing to get smashed on, but its anti-anxiety, chill-out and social factors are great. I don't know if I'm biochemically odd or because I don't have any general anxiety (too little, if anything!), but while GHB and 1,4-BD worked well for me when they were legal and available, I've never had drugs like Xanax and Valium be effective for anything more than calming anxiety and helping me sleep. Even at higher doses, the best I'd get was some coordination problems and random no-transition falling asleep sleeping. GABA has never done anything at all, even in very high doses. However, the first time I took phenibut I took a what sounds like a lower dose, 600mg (1/4 tsp). After an hour I could feel it starting to work, though it took another hour for it to ramp up. I had 20 oz. of beer around this time over an hour which brought out the effects, but the beer wearing off didn't make much of a difference in how I felt. I was very social, downright silly sometimes- just like I was on GHB. I do not like to mix phenibut with L-theanine, gives me a feeling I do not like, one that isn't related to a synergistic effect, which is odd because I like L-theanine on its own. The more noticable effects had faded wthin 3-4 hours in me, which seems contrary to most reports. I slept hard and long, even though the dose was relatively low. My wife woke me up after 8.5 hours and I would've kept sleeping if I had the choice. Usually when I wake up, I am 80-90% fully awake, but after sleeping post phenibut it took 20 minutes of lying in bed reading to slowly work up to fully awake. I felt no residual hangover, positive or negative after I spent the time in bed to become fully awake. Overall, this is an awesome product that for me sits perfectly on the line between fun and a useful tool in the pharmacological kit; you use it too often and it no longer works nearly as well, which is great for preventing abuse and addiction. |
