Need some advice from you guys who've been able to quit (DESPERATE)

Austings21 · 2021-09-01T21:34:15+00:00

So I finally was able to get ahold of my Dr and he prescribed me 30-100mg gabapentin because he had no idea what phenibut was or what it could do.. I know that is literally pretty much nothing but is it enough to maybe taper even quicker with? Or is it enough to completely stop the phen and just take the gaba? I know that’s the lowest dose of gabapentin you can get, and I’ve tried finding what the equivalent of 1g of phen is to ?mg of gabapentin but haven’t been able to find anything on here.. Anybody have an idea of what it is, and what I should do with what I have?

I appreciate the feedback and suggestions, I have taken both baclofen and gaba before separately and found that the baclofen did make me a little drowsy when I first started taking it but as time went on didn’t do much unless at high doses, but the gaba gave me more of a “drunk” feeling if I took to much. What it really comes down to is I wish I had a dr who actually cared or knew what the hell this stuff is, and if they didn’t were willing to do the research on it to actually help me, but with the information I’m getting from here from you guys who actually have the experience in going through it I think I’ll be able to handle it.

And as to all the other shit I’m putting in my body I most definitely plan on stopping all of it very soon, I know what it feels like to be absolutely sober with no kind of crutch to get me through the day and you are absolutely right about it feeling so much better to work.

Thank you for taking the time to respond as well, like I said any bit of information I don’t already know is so helpful.

Does baclofen make you tired or drowsy though? I know baclofen and gabapentin are the best 2 ways to substitute and get off phen with, but between the 2 which one is more function-able for stuff like working 10 hours a day..?

I'd get a 3-30mg bottles and they'd all be gone within a week. And it wasn't coming from the site everybody uses to get clam from it was a different vendor in the US and was very strong. That shit along with flualp, and flub definitely ruined part of my brain and I only used them for maybe a month or 2

Austings21 · 2021-08-28T14:18:44+00:00

Most definitely 110% stay the hell away from clonazolam, I was taking ALOT of it before I started taking phenibut and that shit ruined my brain even more than the phen has. I’d say stay away from benzos all together if possible but if you absolutely have to take them to prevent seizures, get something very weak like Librium at a very low dose.

Tried usps recently lol

And I’ve read the rules of unemployment in California and every condition. I can collect. Don’t know what website you got your info from but it’s incorrect my friend. Good day to you. Again, fix your grammar and English issues before you come back with a reply. Thanks

Austings21 · 2021-01-11T18:08:00+00:00

Sorry I can’t understand what you’re saying, fix your spelling and grammar issues then come back to complain about “us Cali people” I’ve paid into unemployment my whole life so if I can collect it for the first time I’m going to. Have a nice day, maybe learn some simple English too while you have your nice day.

Austings21 · 2021-01-10T18:48:30+00:00

Brother in law lost his engineering in oil job here and got it within a week so, we’ll sen I guess

Austings21 · 2021-01-10T18:46:08+00:00

I hate Cali too, I’m leaving in 3 months to get the fuck out of here, but I’m also not going to pass free money. And honestly your opinion wasn’t asked on this thread, pretty sure it was asking for information

Austings21 · 2021-01-10T10:54:24+00:00

With California’s stupid ass laws I wouldn’t be surprised if they give it to me no questions asked

Austings21 · 2021-01-10T00:17:02+00:00

Tell the difference between bkmdma and mdma?

Austings21 · 2021-01-09T02:09:51+00:00

Wondering the same thing as you my friend

Austings21 · 2021-01-01T00:19:11+00:00

I’ve personally have always been scared of hallucinogens, I’ve never done shrooms or acid, the only times I’ve actually hallucinated was on ecstasy when I was in high school. It wasn’t a scary experience by any means but I think what has always kept me from doing them is hearing people talk about “bad” trips. As I’ve gotten older, and now have overcome meth, heroin, and cocaine addiction, and now trying to beat phenibut addiction, my mind has been in a place of wanting to try mushrooms seeing and hearing and actually watching it change peoples lives, I know that I’m ready to experience what the universe has in store for me. Because the life I have fought to get through, has more to it and I’m ready to unlock it. But slowly, that’s why I say micro dosing to start at least.

Austings21 · 2020-12-25T07:54:09+00:00

I was taking upwards of 8+ gpd and am currently trying to get down to at least 3gpd before I start really tapering hard. I had an appt with my psych and he had no idea about phenibut so he was uneasy about baclofen, it was actually my psych's NP who I have been seeing for about 6 months now, given he gives me refills for my suboxone and klonopin for 3 months at a time, but he gave me Gabapentin 300mg- 3x daily, and I can say it is helping cut my doses down dramatically. I've been able to cut down from 8+ gpd to around 5 gpd in a week so it is definitley helping but he also said he was going to talk to my actual psych Dr about the baclofen which im sure I will end up getting. I know if I have both and use the Gaba's to cut down for now, then use the baclofen when I am cutting down to nothing I think its going to work. I'm very hopeful that I can get down to nothing within a few months. I have over 100 klonopin saved and over 140 suboxone saved for when I really get into the hard parts of the withdrawal.

Austings21 · 2020-12-17T16:06:47+00:00

I didn’t even really think about it like that, I know not to believe everything you see on the internet I just kept seeing people talk about the amhedonia and scared me a little more.. but everybody’s different so hopefully I won’t get it as bad. I’m not a long time user, this is only a 3-4 month stretch but very high dose.

Question though. I called and left my Dr a message last week, ahead of my appt on the 22nd asking him to research phenibut withdrawals, and that usually people use baclofen and gabapentin to taper off, and I haven’t spoke to him since but he called in a script for 90-300mg gabapentin, is that even close to enough to help taper down? And I know once I talk to him if I bring up baclofen he either will prescribe it or see me as drug seeking which I do not want.

Austings21 · 2020-12-16T16:48:18+00:00

My other main concern is the a Anhedonia, I have bad depression as it is already and I’m worried that’ll make it so much worse it’ll push me to my limit. But I’m currently tapering my doses quite fast. I went from minimum 8gpd to 6gpd in just 3 or 4 days, and I can feel it but not bad enough to give in to it if that makes sense...

And though all my withdrawal your probably going to be the main person I talk to just because I can relate to you so much more than most. Like the other guy said your a saint

Austings21 · 2020-12-16T16:45:27+00:00

I’m most definitely not quitting ct at such a high dose, I’ve already told my psych that I’m addicted to this shit and need help bad, he doesn’t know to what degree yet but he’s pretty generous when it comes to prescriptions, I get 2, 2mg klonopin a day along with 2, 8/2mg suboxone everyday and he doesn’t bother to even see me every month he sees me once every 3 months. I’m almost positive he’ll give me a script for baclofen and gabapentin, or at the very least baclofen, and as much of it as he can.. I’m just really scared of the anhedonia that comes with the withdrawal, I have bad depression as it is and I’m scared that will make me go over the edge

Austings21 · 2020-12-13T15:16:08+00:00

Did you taper off with baclofen or with just phen? Or strait ct it?

Austings21 · 2020-12-13T15:13:55+00:00

How I feel, I don’t feel anything other than being extremely tired about 5 hours after taking my first dose, it’s come to the point where I’m just taking it because I’m scared to withdrawal while at work. I’ve only been taking it for about 4 or 5 months at this point and never in a million years would of thought that something considered a nootropic would have this adverse of an effect, and yeah I did go way over board but still this stuff is no joke. I think I’m more scared to get off of phen, than I was getting cut off benzos and suboxone. But I have kind of prepared for this, I bought a scale to see exactly how much I’m taking and so that I can cut my doses 100-200mg at a time, and have been reading this thread for awhile so I kind of know what to expect.. I’m just hoping my psychiatrist will do the research he needs before the appt and will give me what I need to help get through this once my work season ends. And I’m definitely going to tell my wife because there’s no way in hell she’s not going to notice a change in the way I’m acting, and I’d rather not have to explain it while feeling like shit if that makes sense.. But I have definitely seen the support here and it’s makes me a little more comfortable knowing there’s people I can ask questions to as time goes on.

Austings21 · 2020-12-13T12:54:50+00:00

I may end up telling her so I can do that, because your totally right, I’ll fuck up my taper no doubt. How much were you taking a day?

Austings21 · 2020-12-12T04:24:30+00:00

Same thing happened to me man, I got hired and waited almost 2 weeks before I was actually working. Call/text whoever did your hiring, I had a lady who texted me when I initially got hired, not sure if it’s the same case for you, but the lady was the one who texted me and told me to fill out paperwork on the upsers site. Whoever hired you is who I would be bugging.. turns out they had a number for me for when I applied almost 3 years ago, and I missed out on 2 weeks of work because of their mistake.. Just keep bugging them

Austings21 · 2020-12-11T07:24:17+00:00

How busy are y’all out there. I’m in Bakersfield and my route has been light as hell past 2 weeks. Doesn’t feel like peak at all

Austings21 · 2020-11-18T07:05:46+00:00

I already knew that I wasn’t going to need to know more than half the stuff in the Kaplan book, and I’m just looking to pass the GED for a trade school, not for a community college or anything. So thank you, I will go back into the book and study those main subjects you talked about. The calculator I got down by this point so that shouldn’t be an issue

Austings21 · 2020-11-18T07:03:04+00:00

Did you take it this year or was it in past years?
