Firstly, some background: I have extensive experience with most many psychoactive substances including cannabis, MDMA, mushrooms, LSD, cocaine, opiates, kratom, DXM, peyote, amphetamines and benzodiazepines. Secondly, I have an alcohol dependance. While I probably wouldn't be considered a hardcore alcoholic (about 8 drinks a night during the week, often more on weekends), years of slow build up have left my brain highly attuned and adapted to alcohol. Cutting back even as little as one drink for a couple of nights in a row will leave me with noticeable withdrawal effects.
This is where phenibut comes in; I discovered it searching for something milder than benzos that could help with withdrawal symptoms, and perhaps help facilitate a taper at some point. However, from my initial experience, I would not suggest it for this purpose. It does however, seem to have some potential as a recreational mood enhancer.
My bottle of ninety 200mg capsules of phenibut arrived the day before. I had drank a little more (about 2 drinks) than my usual amount the night before, so felt a mild hangover on the day in question.
T+ 0:00 - Knowing I would be drinking that evening, and given the long lasting nature of phenibut, I immediately take 600mg of phenibut on an empty stomach upon waking.
T+ 0:20 � I take one more 200mg capsule at this point, having initially decided to take 800mg total (then having changed my mind back and forth).
T+ 0:30 � Now I definitely start to feel something, sort of a very vague non-specific feeling of something affecting my brain.
T+ 0:40 � A mild-moderate wave of anxiety washes over me, not unlike I might feel coming up on something like MDMA (when not on alcohol). I get a few more of these over the next 20 minutes or so.
T+ 1:20 � Now I'm feeling generally stimulated, perhaps akin to something like a very low does of cocaine; music sounds a little better and I get the urge to groove to it. This seems to come in waves, alternated with some mild anxiety (it should be noted that I almost always use alcohol in combination with most recreational substances; using almost any stimulating substance sober would almost certainly give me some anxiety).
T+ 2:15 � The effect now seems to have leveled off a bit but I still feel stimulated and a little restless. T+ 2:15 � The effect now seems to have leveled off a bit but I still feel stimulated and a little restless.
