r/quittingphenibut

For anyone struggling to quit phenibut , for anyone stuck in phenibut hell , for anyone tapering phenibut.

Amanita Muscaria is a life saver for phenibut withdrawals/addiction.

Basically just buy the dried caps and either put it in capsules or brew a tea. You wont even feel anymore phenibut withdrawals as Amanita Muscaria levels out all the brain chemistry, sorts out the glutamate, the Gabba and all the rest of the brain chemistry.

You will be able to do big tapers without even feeling the consequences, it will give you deep relaxation and give you your sleep back.

I cut my dose from 4.5 g daily phenibut to 3g , i the tapered down to 3G daily, now I’m on 0.7g phenibut daily, all in 10 days !! Hanks to Amanita Muscaria.

i had tried NAC, Agamatine, Taurine , Magnesium etc etc in the past , none of these really helped BUT Amanita Muscaria has been beyond brilliant, hardly feel any withdrawals whatsoever!!

I started by using 4g Amanita Muscaria but found around 8g to be the sweet blissful spot ☺️

Today is day five of NO phenibut! And sadly I almost wanted to celebrate by buying more of my energy shots that contain phenibut! I almost feel normal today and am actually in a really good mood and my body doesn't hurt as much, and the weird skin burning feeling is practically gone! I ended up NOT buying a shot to celebrate. I am sick of the weird pain, skin sensations, and weight gain this substance has been causing me. I can't ever even tell if I am starting to develop a health condition, or if it's just phenibut side effects, so that is what is really motivating me...plus saving money. Please send good vibes my way!!

or just tune it down enough and make it bearable? right now that's what's up for me. took like 1200g

Just to clarify, this question is aimed at people who have had or currently have an active dependence, who take phenibut daily and have been doing so for a long time. Like + 6 months and +2gpd.

What are the first symptoms of withdrawal for you, and how long after your last dose do they usually start?

I’ve been taking phenibut more or less daily for over two years now (3–5 gpd). For a long time, I was able to take breaks without any problems whatsoever, but it’s been a while since I last did so. The other day, I experienced what I suspect may have been withdrawal symptoms when I woke up in the morning.

My skin felt very dry and I had fairly noticeable anxiety. At that point, I hadn’t taken a dose for 24 hours, and my most recent dose had been about half my usual dose.

Title. Me and my ex gf broke up a month ago, I’ve been suffering from lack of motivation and feeling depressed from tapering for about a year (on and off tapering because of the side effects).

I’ve been on phenibut since 2017 (9 years) and the tapering is extremely difficult on my mental. I just felt like isolating and social events seem daunting. If I don’t take more than normal amount of Phenibut, I feel extremely socially anxious. It hurt my relationship because of the reasons above (also stuff I did, not JUST the Phenibut).

I have baclofen now and tapering way faster (only taking about 2.5G/day) and should be off soon, but just curious if it affected u guys in the same ways too.

It started like most other people, few times a week, then a 2 day binge, then a break, then a 3 day binge, then a week binge, then a full blow addiction. Mostly was 1.5g for two months with occasional 2.5g on nights out, then 2.5 every night and peaked at 3gpd with occasional 0.5 top ups later in the night for about a month, slowed down to 2-2.5gpd for the past month. 1.9g tonight and I want more, but I won’t.

Sorry for all of the incoming questions, I have no other place to go. I also don’t have access to any gaba medications.

I’d rather not quit cold turkey after hearing the horror stories on here, I want to taper back as quickly as possible, I’m absolutely sick of the lack of emotional range and lack of a desire for personal growth. What effects should I expect if I do go cold turkey?

I have 12.6 grams remaining, is that enough to taper off safely with minimal side effects? Any supplements that might help? Also I am on 9 years of 100mg of Lamotragine for Epilepsy, if that helps/changes anything.
