My Quitting Experience
Hi, I just wanted to share my experience from suddenly stopping Phenibut FAA at 1 gram a day for daily use for 3 years straight.
I got to the point where I was sick of being "chained" to needing to take the phenibut every day to feel right. I wound up going to the ER because I was in a full blown in psychosis with delerium. It was a good thing I went to the ER. I was in there about 2 weeks in full on delerium and acute psychosis, brought on partially by the severe insomnia I had been experiencing. I was treated with ativan and antipsychotics (like Olanzapine) at certain points. I remember thinking I was going to die from a seizure, and rushing the staff and needing to be restrained at certain points. I tried to rush past one heavy orderly and tried to exit the facility, throwing up "secret security phrases" which Trump had directly beamed into my head "or so I thought".
All in all, it was like jumping off a cliff, but in a way since I was in and out of consciousness I didn't really suffer through it in agonizing minute to minute detail like a benzo wd or something. But now I am free of phenibut and it's been six weeks free and I am so happy I can go out again and not worry about needing to take it all the time. I had to jump off the cliff to get free.
All in all, quitting cold turkey 1 gram a day phenibut for 3 years was a far more serious and severe withdrawal scenario other than anything I experienced. But I feel so purged now to be free from it finally, I thought I never would be.
