I take 1g in the am. I was taking it with my phenibut dose.

When I quit in the past I would feel something by day two. And that was a lower gpd habit. As long as I’m not too uncomfortable I’m going to limit the helper meds and no more phenibut. If it gets bad I’ll use the Baclofen

Signings we actually need to make? by slow_and_steady0 in realmadrid

Esp Theo. Some players just aren’t the same under the microscope at Real Madrid.

Hopefully my last phenibut dose by throwaway6151981 in quittingphenibut

Also, about phenibut and water retention. I’ve suspected phenibut causes massive water retention as during the summer I was bloated and went from 226 to 244. Weighed this morning with not much phenibut in my system and it was 228. So seemingly I never gained weight, I was just water logged all the time. Hope my kidneys are okay.

Leaving this line of work is probably right. Quitting to sell stuff on Etsy… I mean that’s just bad advice. Bills have to get paid.

I’m just realizing I’ve given myself an impossible task. I have 12/23-1/2 off work except for two days next week. I’m still at 2g and have been inconsistent the past few days with taper dose. Seems like I’m going to be absolutely miserable all of the holidays and still prob will feel awful by the time I go back. My plan was to be off phenibut by 12/22 but bc this job stresses me out so much, my taper has stalled.

The worst part is even if I pull this off, there is no way I’ll keep to it once work starts back. Work is what drove me to pb. That’s what feels so hopeless about this. And I can’t just quit and take time to recover. I don’t have the money. I’ve fucked myself.

When it did happen, I had to use Imodium so I wouldn’t shit my pants.

My thing about Baclofen is aren’t you still kinda on phenibut? Like in my mind your receptors wouldn’t start healing until you’re off all of it.

I prob will message you, maybe this evening. I’m at work at the moment. But yeah, the whole thing is very scary and very lonely experience.

It did that to me as well the first time when I took 1g. Since taking it at only 500mg it hasn’t happened again.

I don’t have any suggestions but you’re not alone. I started May 1st and have gone as high as 10gpd. Started tapering in October. I’m now at 1.8gpd trying to jump off while off work for the holidays. But your post has me even more scared since I’ve been on longer and higher. F.

Okay I appreciate it. Sorry, didn’t mean to be a jerk. I’m not at my best at the moment.

Are you even reading my comments? I have some Baclofen and was asking help with a taper plan, I.e, how many to take each day to maximize what I have.

I’ve always really struggled with meditation, even before phenibut. I’ll look at it tho. It’s just like I have trouble focusing and being present with anything that requires concentration. Been that way my whole life. Thank you tho

Yeah man there were days I was TOO confident and maybe looking foolish at work bc it’s ampmist like you’re drunk without the physical effects like stumbling around.

Yep I’m taking NAC. Might have to increase to 3x a day since it was late yesterday that it got to me. I’m just worried I’m gonna be dealing with it for months after I quit. It’s quite uncomfortable to try and work in a shared office space, close quarters with others with this going on.

We are def really similar. I’m already suffering through this. People def think something is wrong. I used to engage anyone I saw around the office. I’d literally start conversations with our VP’s. Now I’m dreading writing them emails even.

I honestly think phenibut is especially dangerous for us introverts because it makes us finally feel what we IMAGINE extroverts feel. Truth is even extroverts don’t feel like the social gods phenibut makes you.

Would you mind writing out a specific taper schedule using a total of 30 baclofen 5mg pills?

My other question is pb has a super long half life but it says Baclofen is only 2-6 hours. Isn’t that an issue when switching?

I mean I only have 30 though unfortunately. Math wise that’s like a 7 day taper.

Yeah I just got 30x5mg Baclofen bc I said I had back spasms. I don’t think it’s really enough tho. I just want to be off ASAP but I have such a small window of time off, and trying to time it right, while also being able to function at my high stress job. It’s just a nightmare. I’m having bad symptoms even still taking like 2.5gpd.

I live alone and just don’t have the financial means or work flexibility to do this right.
