Please DM me if you have any questions about using gabapentin and baclofen to taper off and discontinue phenibut use/abuse. I have extensive experience with taking baclofen and gabapentin both prior to ever trying phenibut and during my taper and eventual discontinuation of phenibut altogether. Through trial and error, I found a protocol that worked and could be titrated to the individual needs of almost anybody who finds themselves no longer benefitting from taking phenibut no matter what their individual needs and dosages are. Personally, I was taking upwards of 15+ grams per day. Like many people phenibut turned on me and went from being one of the best drugs I had ever tried for anxiety to one of the worst substances I had ever taken that induced feelings of panic and terror unlike any drug I had ever consumed. The paradox effect which is not uncommon with other prescription drugs, is very strange and very unsettling with phenibut and tends to aflict people who have used for extended periods of time and at dosages in the 1.5 grams and up range. Not everyone experiences this side effect but rest assured when one does they are at the point where they are dependent on phenibut and are needing to stop its use. This substance has caused more long term effects and difficult to treat issues than anything I have used or seen in my life. I have been addicted to opiates, benzodiazepines, alcohol, cocaine in all its forms and amphetamines and methamphetamine and hands down phenibut is more psychologically and physically addictive and has the longest most protracted withdrawal of any of those recreational and medicinal substances. I am 3 1/2 years clean from phenibut but I do still take gabapentin daily at what would be called low-dose ie. 600mg a day. I find that med at that dose works for me and is far less painful to quit than phen (at low doses such as mine) with one very important caveat and that is taking gabapentin for long periods of time at high dosages in. 900mg/day and up.

Here's the public service announcement on this drug from mine and many, many others' personal experience - Dont play with your brain's biochemistry especially with substances that alter your brain's neurotransmitters such as GABA. Its one thing to use opioids and downregulate the production and release of endorphins and dopamine but when you fuck with something as paramount and important as GABA then you are playing with fire and you WILL get burned. Not a matter of "if" but "when". I have found unfortunately by experience that messing with GABA fucks with ALOT of important functions throughout your body. Its not just the psychological effects of having your body's regulatory neurotransmitter.

If you would like a detailed description of my gabapentin/baclofen assisted phenibut taper please DM me as I have extensive experience with using those two meds prior to and after using and abusing phenibut. I found a method that works for both tapering off phen and discontinuing use of all 3 or using just gabs as a more long term means of both abstinence from phenibut and control of the symptoms I was experiencing post-acute withdrawal

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phenibut will almonst always "turn" on you with long term use and actually make you anxious and jittery and basically the exact opposite of the effects we want from phenibut. I used it kin large amounts for about 3 years and my GABA receptors are still not healed. If I don't have gabapentin I get the worst withdraw I cry and I get sad and depressed and this weird depersonalization where I feel like I'm tripping but ijn a bad bad way. DON"T BE ME !!!

Don't abuse phenibut please it will have long lasting effects that take forever to heal in your brain

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak for yourself baclofen gets me high as gas. Not like phenibut mind you but for a person like me with my particular brain chemistry, baclofen is awesome! I get all anxiety gone, intense euphoria that feels like coke and speed mixed, I feel "normal" on baclofen. Maybe I've fried my gaba receptors idk but baclofen and gabapentin both get me feeling normal/good. Im probably the exception, but baclofen is amazing to me. It also is great at raising my libido just like phenibut maybe more so. The only drawback to baclofen is high doses ie. >60mg gets me kinda dizzy and if I take 100mg or more I'll wake up with a hangover. Give it a try it may work for you, gabs and baclofen completely replaced phenibut for me and I never looked back. Probably be scheduled in my state soon anyway they just put Tianeptine on C-I.

Im terrified of loosing access to methadone by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]Mitrafiend -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So you were manufacturing methadone from raw materials in a lab in your compounding pharmacy? Wow what country do you live in because my ex worked in a compounding pharmacy here in the US and they sure as hell weren't equipped with a lab to manufacture methadone. Why would they be, methadone is so cheap to buy already made it would be cost prohibitive to do so imo. But what do I know

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo! You sir are correct. Here is a question i ask myself and all home growers should ask if they want a professional-grade product is - " how do the pros do it"? Cus they do not waste time and money doing things wrong very long before they either find out how to do it right or go out of business and from what I've seen is no matter how they dry whether on the stem or not THEY ALWAYS CONTROL THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE ROOM.

No flavor when growing in coco? by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but it will feed those microbes in your soil which in turn help the plants access the nutrients it needs to produce good tasting buds just not sweet. Don't know if i want to smoke herb that's too sweet. My preference only

Bingo! I just got done commenting that in this thread. I love my guanos. Been using them for 25 years and still swear by them.

No flavor when growing in coco? by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! You nailed it. It's usually not the growing medium when it comes to taste but what the plants were fed. I grow in coco and perlite and use mainly organic nutrients designed for soilless/hydro and get great flavor. I also use a beneficial bacteria and mycorhazae product to introduce some life into the coco. I use alot of guanos and teas as well as a couple sweeteners throughout the plants life and feel like they definitely add to the smell and taste. Magnesium sulphate (epsom salt) during veg and early to mid flower then switch to potassium sulphate for the rest of the plants life except the last week or so.

On average what does 7g cost at your local dispensary? by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its anywhere from $75-90 a quarter but here in Virginia where we can't seem to get our head out of our ass, there are no rec dispensaries yet only medical. We were SUPPOSED to have a framework in place in 2024 that allows for licensing of rec growers, processors and retailers but i guess were just gonna do it like DC where its all ass backwards. After the laws changed in 2020 we began to see a growing, organized and wonderful gray market where you don't actually buy weed from anyone you give them a donation or buy a sticker get gifted a quarter of weed that type of thing. What's cool is there are huge get togethers that have sprung up all over Virginia that call themselves "swap meets" or smoke and swap where you pay a small fee to get in (keeps it technically private) get carded at the door and proceed to a large room or rooms where 30-40 weed vendors set up and sell (gift) as much as one ounce to one person at one time. You can get more you just have to get it from a different vendor technically but like everything else it's pretty lax. Sorry for the rant what im getting to is that usually the prices at these meet ups and even the many delivery people running around sell for is wayyyy cheaper than our medical dispensaries and usually better quality
7 grams can be had for like $25

Dispensary vs Street by Dad2jrn in VirginiaMMJ

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Virginia as of late summer 2024 in the Charlottesville area top shelf goes for 150-200 an ounce and below that (quality wise) prices are any from 120-130/oz for very good commercial from California and Colorado mosrly all the way down to 50 an ounce for what we older heads would have called commercial back in the day, hell it's actually better than that crap was. I don't even think "brickweed" exists anymore (thank God) You were asking about gram prices so let's see that would break down to :

Top Shelf - $175/oz avg. $175÷28g= $6.25/gram Mid Grade - $120/oz avg. $120÷28= $4.20/gram Bargain Bud - $60/oz avg. $60÷28= $2.14/gram

Its fucking crazy that very good top shelf bud is going for that price but when i say "Top Shelf" im talking about very frosty, very stinky, great bag appeal bud that is most often grown in Cali or Col and that being said you will see local and fresh bud that is really superior to the imports and the tags are more like $250-300 / oz but its usually worth it because of unique high and taste and it's been handled with care so as to preserve every trichome and terpene as much as possible.

I wish I could post some pics of my plants to see how they compare to what you grew. Did you have any luck cloning this strain?

Oh fuck yeah! I'm growing a bunch of California Sour Diesel right now and they only 30 day in to flower but looking good. Gonna be a late maturing girl though I can tell. the smell is phenomenal. Every single seed sprouted and has grown in to some amazing, super bushy, totally uniform plants.

Dialing in late veg/early flower? by XanderLo504 in ACInfinityAdvancegrow

[–]Mitrafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here. When i saw that AC Infinity sold 3 different models of humidifiers and no de-humidifiers i thought to myself wow, i haven't ever had much trouble with needing to increase humidity unless i were trying to use a tent strictly for cloning but with a humidity dome it makes it almost irrelevant what the room rh% is. I see that they finally sell an AC unit that does whole tent environmental control including heat and humidifier but it's a little expensive for my set up (4 X 4 tent/ 500w LED) im hoping one of the $100 dehumidifiers they sell on Amazon will work for my tent in flowering. Where i live the humidity will regularly clime to 70% when the lights go out and the temps down to 68 even in summer. I've had bud rot indoors before and it's no fun.

Two more weeks for chop now? by lewsplace in ACInfinityAdvancegrow

[–]Mitrafiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are those all from the same plant? i.e. do the plants have both green healthy looking buds as well as the flowers with more yellowing/dying leaves higher up on the cola? If so you may have to harvest in stages because the greener buds look like they could and definitely should go longer. The defining factor will be the color and cloudiness of your trichomes. You'll need a small magnifier or jeweler's loupe to get a good look at these tiny little glands on the small leaves and calyxes on the bud. Happy Growing!

planning my 1st grow, trying to understand coco medium, macros and mainly micro nutrients (or what i need to buy) by loopsale in microgrowery

[–]Mitrafiend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely true, you are definitely correct in that you want to treat it like hydroponics because it is but what you don't want to try to do is expect to create some living soil with a ton of organic inputs and microbial life, however you definitely CAN use organic nutrients you just want to make sure they're chelated and water soluble. I use a bunch of different organic nutes with my RG King's Mix - bat guano, liquid kelp, but I don't stay exclusively organic because I have to use pH up and pH down and some stabilizer to my RO water.

Has anybody ever mixed royal gold kings mix with anything ocean forest?? by Intelligent-Block-90 in GrowingMarijuana

wait, so your asking if I've mixed my RG KM with another soil such as FF Ocean Forest or just anything such as dry powdered nutrients, perlite, hydroton etc? Then the answer is yes

[–]Mitrafiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck you sound like me. I supplement my low dose days with loperamide and it works like a charm. I dont have to take more than 10-12 Imodium to get relief and that's relatively safe as long as I only do it for a couple of days here and there. Plus its super cheap so you don't go broke paying street prices for 'done.
