Anybody know about phenibut?

I recently got a sample of phenibut... and did VERY little research before trying it. I liked how it made me feel the first time dosing 2 grams... it cut down any anxiety, and gave me a little happy feeling as well..It gave me a groggy hangover for part of the next day, so I didn't do it for a few days.... But, now for the past 5 evenings, I've used like 2-3grams because I sleep like a baby from it. Is this enough to feel withdrawals come tomorrow or the next day? I'm worried after reading more about it. Definitely not doing it again. I just need to know if I need to prepare myself for a few some kind of hell....

Don't do this shit.

Many people liken it to a mild benzo. Daily use will gradually lead to a nasty dependence. Best to keep use down to twice a week or less. Week on and week and half to two weeks off might work as well but you'll probably end up developing tolerance like that.

Based on what might happen, or what already has?
Reviewing the wiki entry looks VERY interesting.

Anti-anxiety that clears your head, gives you energy, and makes you smarter.

This is a test taker's dream. Does it show up on any standard panels?

I'm pretty freaked about ANY daily usage of ANYTHING other than pot, so I'm the poster child responsible dosing. I'm on day 2 of a FUCKED UP HIP AND BACK (I walk like Igor in Young Frankenstein) and I have a bottle of xanax sitting there. I'm not touching it, I used enough yesterday. The dope is low, the real narcotics are gone, I'm eating ibuprofen today. Whine whine whine.

So anyway, really, is this stuff bad for ME based on the tiny bit of knowledge you have, or is it more of a generic: Be careful.

It's a GABAergic compound that seems pretty mild so many people don't give it the respect it deserves. It can cause a nasty dependence. Not as bad as benzos, but still quite nasty. It can also cause convulsions in high doses.

I take back saying dont do this shit. It's not bad. Very good anxiety relief, and I do think it would be good for studying/taking tests. It's very good for long work days and socializing. If you take too high of a dose it can be more disorienting like being drunk though. I was worried about W/d after reading some reports about people getting hooked very fast. I took it for 5 days in a row. But I didn't feel any ill side effects when stopping. I'll try it out again probably friday because I work for 15 hours. Definitely something to look into if you are interested in nootropics/anxiolytics. It's a nice buzz. It even gives a slight euphoria similar to a low dose of MDMA... That stomach feeling.

you can buy it online for like 10 bucks an ounce. really cheap.

I'd assume it could help ease w/d of other substances like opiates as well....

does anyone know how this stuff compares to piracetam?

i have a 100 gram tub of phenibut by liftmode coming in the mail this week.
