DOSE:
0.5 - 1.0 g oral Smarts - Phenibut
BODY WEIGHT: 120 lb
I had pretty high hopes of Phenibut as I read up on it before deciding to purchase. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it.

I've been using it for two weeks now, once a week as needed for insomnia, approx. 2 hours before bed (I slept through a couple of classes getting the hang of it).

Long story short, for insomnia, Phenibut works. As long as I do too. By this I mean, if I'm in bed, eyes closed, computer off, having taken the pheni an hour or (preferably) two earlier, I'll drift off into sweet dreams. At 120 pounds, male, 5'10 (I'm skinny, I get it... But I'm working on it) I found myself a new friend in pheni.

I lent a bit of my pheni to a friend. About half my package. The stuff comes so cheap why not? He used it daily, dosing up to 2g at a time. At tops, absolute tops, I had used 1g, and took the rest of the week off because of it.
At tops, absolute tops, I had used 1g, and took the rest of the week off because of it.
He came offering almost the price I paid for the jar for about 7 grams. It was really weird to see, we party together a lot, using xanax, coke, and opiates regularly, but I had never seen him like that.

Anyway, at the moment I'm buzzed on about .5 grams and 2 drinks of alcohol. I'm sufficiently relaxed. I've never used pheni with alcohol before, but it's quite pleasant.

I just wanted to write up my experience since a lot of people tend to say it's good for a buzz or getting high. I find it's really not. Phenibut shines in its own right.
