Hi everyone, I used Phenibut for 4 days, doses between 1 and 2.5g. I've completely stopped now and I don't want anything to do with it again. I'm on day 2 of withdrawal and yesterday I had some rough symptoms (nausea, cold sweats) but today things feel a bit more manageable, just low mood, agitation and anxiety. I know some cases here are really severe with long term heavy use, but mine was pretty short. Just looking for some reassurance or similar experiences from people who used it briefly and recovered without major issues. Thanks for reading

Hi everybody i'm on my tenth day of 5 mg (and me and my pdoc decided to stay on this dose for now on) and while the first week was very good, i felt calm and finally not socially anxious and ankward, on the start of the second week i had a really bad spike in anxiety, my doc suggested me that the med is not the problem and she is probably right, i'm nervous about ssris cause i read all of the horror stories, but i'm trying to stay positive and regain my life back. Not depressed mainly for GAD. I also take abilify 5 mg but i was feeling a bit anhedonic but stable on it so we added escitalopram. Thanks to everybody that wanna share a thought and advice to the situation.

PS. i'm using some benzo here and there (prn) to calm down but this is not helping much.
