You should also get some doxylamine succinate (and OTC sleep aid, main ingredient in Nyquil) and melatonin. Even in withdrawal I take a half pill of each (half a 25mg doxy and 3mg melatonin) and knock the fuck out for a few hours at least. Benadryl/diphenhydramine will work also Lack of sleep will make you lose your shit and make the withdrawal 5x harder so it's very important you get some.
Seriously though, generic 25mg doxylamine succinate pills and melatonin. Can be bought at walmart or any name brand pharmacy or right here

Pray you get through there’s a lot of support on here
ive been taking this every day and it seems to help my anxiety/sleep a lot.
>I do have a digital scale.
Perfect! I recommend picking up some small plastic portion cups to measure out your doses for the day, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/200-Sets-Containers-Condiment-Disposable/dp/B085JY35TY.
I saw you're going to try doing twice a day. So 2 of these cups with your daily doses, you could potentially measure out a week in advance (14 cups). Not only will this save you time, but also have your set amount for each day with your doses, and knowing that is all you can have for the day (no inclination to go over).
I absolutely understand that. I hope my comment didn't come off as like critical of your plan or anything. Ultimately, you gotta do what works best for you.
But I got my agmatine from Amazon and the NAC from Liftmode. I added l-theanine with the NAC so I could get the free UPS 2nd Day Air shipping.
The agmatine basically works by potentiating the phenibut, allowing you to take less to get the same effect (as I understand it). The NAC stops the glutamate storms that cause the severe panic and anxiety when you're lowering your doses, and the l-theanine is great for stress in general. I was extremely skeptical, but after seeing person after person on this sub sing their praises, I tried them myself and wish I would have made that choice sooner.
20-35gpd? Holy fuck.
Sounds like you need to not touch alcohol again until you are off of phenibut.
I am a long time user (5 years, 1-4gpd), down to 200mg per day now, and the things that helped me the most were exercise (just weightlifting can get rid of anxiety), L-theanine, GABA (supplement), chamomile tea, and Aleve PM (for sleep).
My stomach was all sorts of fucked up from phenibut use, but this probiotic really helped me out.
You can get a digital scale pretty cheap on Amazon. This is the one I got because I wanted to measure right down to the milligram. There’s others that are cheaper and go down to .00mg.

Good luck, you can do it. Just taper down until you’re done. I did it, though I wasn’t taking as much as you. You’re probably able to cut a couple grams off your dose now without much effect, and then taper smaller amounts. I’m only talking from my own experience though. I had some shitty anxiety in the beginning that I thought would make me crazy, but it was temporary. Since you have meds for anxiety, you might not get as anxious. Please check out the sidebar/about section of this subreddit, it’s SUPER helpful! I think you’ll succeed with the info provided on the “about” page. You got this! It sounds like you’ve overcome worse situations.
Yes it’s by Vital Proteins. It contains everything I said besides l-theanine. Some people don’t like the flavor. I love it but my fiancé doesn’t. They work for me well.

This really interests me as I'm approaching the end of my taper using Gabapentin and Baclofen, but I would like to not be on them forever.
I'm wondering if I should try this at "2.43%" or wait for the 5% you posted to come back...it seems like it's the highest available for oil on amazon based on my short searches. The other option is these 5% or 10% powder capsules from Nootropics Depot.
How much phenibut were you taking and how long ago did you quit? I'm wondering if the effect is big enough to be noticeable with my blown out GABA receptors lol.
I quit smoking by reading Allen Carrs Easy Way to Quit Smoking. It’s been more than 6 years. Good luck to you! https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0615482155
I suggest reading, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, by Michael Pollan. It's a must reading for people such as yourself entertaining the idea of venturing into the abyss. It's very informative.

Psyllium husk is the real deal.

Cheap and it goes a long way. You may have to take it for two or three days before it starts working, but it will work.
For best results follow the dosage instructions and continue taking it even after you get solid.
Capsules typically cost 2-3x as much bulk powder and you are stuck using whatever increments they use for the capsule which makes tapering trickier than it needs to be.
Trust me, for a good taper you want to be as precise as possible. Get yourself a $26 milligram scale at Amazon, it isn't hard to use.
