What is Phenibut?

Phenibut (beta-phenyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid) was discovered in Russia during the 1960’s. It is a derivative of the neurotransmitter GABA and is capable of passing the blood brain barrier.

Phenibut is regarded as a nootropic for its ability to have an affect of various neurological functions. It is a gamma receptor agonist and also causes the release of GABA.

Phenibut XT Dosage Notes:

Phenibut XT’s effects can be dosage dependant, with the typical effects of phenibut being felt in 1.5 to 2 hours, although some people notice effects sooner.

Suggested usage ranges from 500 to 2000 mg, divided over 2 to 3 daily dosages. The half life of this compound is approximately 5 hours so most individuals attempt to space their dosages throughout the day.

Tolerance can develop to some of the effects of phenibut, although it is reported by many that it does not develop to the nootropic effect.

To prevent tolerance from occurring, many people take phenibut for durations of no more than 2 weeks, followed by an equal time off. Alternatively, some individuals simply do not use phenibut everyday, depending on the purpose of usage.

Also note that effects to phenibut can vary by the person per dosage, so it is suggested that people start with a smaller dosage and work their way up in order to find their own proper dosing.

Some general dosage observations:

As a Short Term Sleep Aid – average dosing is 1 to 2 capsules approximately 2 hours before bedtime. Since Phenibut is reported to help produce longer, deeper sleep, it is suggested that when taken for this purpose that it should be taken around 10 hours before anticipated waking time until individual response is assessed.

For Mild Anxiety – average dosing is 1 capsule 2 – 3 times per day in between meals for periods of up to two weeks, followed by a week to two week break.

For Acute Bouts of Anxiety – average dosing is 1 to 2 capsules 2 – 3 times per day. Note that we cannot recommend exceeding 4 caps total per day. When used for this purpose, it is generally used for periods of several days followed by a week to 10 day break.

Nootropic Properties – Average dosing is 1 to 3 capsules for 2 to 4 weeks, followed by a 2 week layoff.

Additional Notes:

Many individuals may find it beneficial to stack Phenibut XT with Focus XT for enhanced nootropic benefits.

We cannot condone the usage of Phenibut XT with alcohol. Even though many individuals take phenibut containing products along with alcohol to intensify the effects of alcohol, we can not condone this action.

About me:

Age:

21

Sex:

Male

Height:

6'4"

Weight:

200lbs

Body type:

Between an ectomorph and a mesomorph; closer to an ectomorph.

Training Experience:

I have been training off and on for about 2 years now. To say the least, I have been much more off than on; however, during this time I spent a lot of time researching the basics and trying to establish some necessary knowledge. I also had many scheduling conflicts at the time with work and school, or so I thought. In October, I actually signed up for a gym, instead of working out at home, and it seems that since that day I have all the motivation and time in the world. I have not missed any workouts since then and am into my 5th month of consecutive training.

Current Training Schedule / Protocol:

I am currently on a 4 day split. I do 3 to 4 exercises for 3 to 4 sets for each body part and try to stay in the 6 to 12 rep range. I try to switch my exercises up about every 4 weeks. Here is a sample of this week:

Monday: Chest
Flat BB Bench Warmup + 3x6-10
Decline BB Bench 3x6-10
Incline BB Bench 3x6-10
Pec Deck Machine 4x6-10

Tuesday: Biceps
Concentration Curls Warmup + 3x8-12
Hammer Curls 3x8-12
TurnAround Cable Curls 4x6-10

Wednesday: Triceps & Legs
Squats Warmup + 3x8-12
Skull Crushers Warmup + 3x10-12
Leg Presses 3x8-12
Weighed Bench Dips 3x8-12
Seated Calf Raises 3x6-10
Rope Pulldown 3x6-10

Thursday: Back & Shoulders
Widegrip Pullups Warmup + 4x6-10
Military Press Warmup + 3x8-12
Deadlifts Warmup + 3x8-12
Seated L-Lateral Raises 3x8-10
Rotator Cuff Exercise 3x10
Upright Rows 3x8-12

Friday: Core work

Cardio Schedule/Protocol (please be detailed):
I do 30 minutes on either a treadmill or an elliptical machine on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I primarily use LI, but if I feel a bit more energetic, I use HIIT. I have also started swimming on Wednesdays. I do this between my classes for about 20-30 minutes. My endurance and lungs are not very capable yet, but I hope to work up to using all my time with minimal breaks between sets of laps.

Alrighty!... well I had a really bad night last night, so I'm scared that if i take a dose right now it'll make me even more tired than I am and I will fall asleep. Therefore, I will take my first dose tomorrow when my body is closer to normal than it is right now. Thanks for looking!

Hope you guys enjoy my first log and offer any suggestions you may have.

Day 1!



Dose 1:

I sort of got some sleep last night, but I still woke up feeling not so great. Ate some breakfast and then sat around for a little less than an hour. I took one pill of the Phenibut XT. Then I had to call T-Mobile about a rebate and of course I won't be getting it. The only reason I mention the call is because I made it a little more than 20 minutes after I took the pill. What really shocked me is after I was told I won't be getting my rebate I just tried to explain that it is not a good reason. Usually I would go off and argue like crazy, but I was just like ok, thanks, bye. Hah... maybe the pill was working already? A little later, I am feeling good. I feel really relaxed and I sort of feel a little more careless than I usually do, maybe even a sort of buzz? HAH, maybe I'm just overthinking this...

Any of this what I should be feeling? Well in anycase, I'm gonna go eat and do some stuff around the house. I'll update if it's just me, or if the feeling actually starts to fade after a while. I hope this is the Phenibut XT cause I feel great right now. It's an hour after I took it.

... I thought the pills looked freaky, so I got the urge to take a picture

Update:

So now it is approximately 2 hours after I took my first dose of one pill and I think I feel normal. I'm going to wait a little longer and I will try to take another pill and see if i get that same euphoric like feeling. So I was thinking about it and when I said buzz it sorta felt like a buzz but my mind worked fine and lol I could walk straight and all just felt that 'body high'.

Dose 2:

I'm starting to like this logging stuff... well I just popped number 2 (it's been 3 hours since my first dose) and hopefully I'll feel that euphoric feeling again. Right now, I didn't feel that weird nice feeling anymore but I do feel ... hmm ... I'm in a good mood, lets leave it at that. Update in a few hours!

Thanks for looking!

The feelings you are describing could be coming from the product. Everyone has their own dosage range they fit into, so its cool if you are feeling this good off one capsule. (I dont have to take much myself to feel effects).

May I ask what exactly do you feel and when do you take it?

[SNS8778]

May I ask what exactly do you feel and when do you take it?

I have played around with different dosages and times.

One to 2 capsules during the day help me with my mood.

2 caps before bedtime helps me get a full nights sleep (I have a problem with waking up alot during the night)

2 to 4 capsule when drinking........ woops, cant recomend it be taken that way

sounds good so far.nice detail.
i have only used phenibut before bed,so i cant really comment on how it effects me during the day.
it definitely helps me stay alseep at night.

[SNS8778]

Muahahhaha... I'm taking one tonight... and I have 3 parties to go to and I haven't drank in a long time. I'll probably update while I'm out. Yeah I'm on of those 'nerds' with Internet Explorer on their phone and yeah I spend all my time on bb.com. Anyway I'm off to pop another...

LOL.......given the context of the above post, and then the no update, makes me think you probably had a fun night

[theshrink]

Dose 2 (Update):

So after taking dose 2 i continued to feel sorta happy and all. Then I went to take care of some things, and while I was driving, I was a little dissapointed to see that bad drivers upset me and killed my good mood. So I got home got ready and left for the night still feeling sorta not so happy partially cause I didn't plan on getting upset in the first place. Oddly enough after I ate I felt good again

Dose 3:

So I was at an older persons birthday party. I ate more and then started drinking. Half an hour after I started drinking I finished my first drink, and figured it was time for another Phenibut XT! So I took it with my next drink. Twenty minutes into it, my face started to go numb (sad that I know this, but sort of like when i smoke up) and just wow my buzz was amazing. I have not had a happy/upper buzz like that in years! So I continued my drink and had another. We stayed there for another 3 hours and my buzz just remained amazing! I usually sit and binge drink to keep a nice buzz but this was just remarkable. I didn't feel as drunk as I felt happy but it was great.

Dose 4:

On the way to a bar, I drank a liter and a half of water and took another Phenibut XT. I was all excited that I would start feeling greater, but after urinating outside in -4° weather (I know I'm stupid but I was drunk and had to go!) my buzz subsided. After getting into the bar and having a redbull & vodka I was right up where I was again. My awesome buzz kept going. It lasted until about 5 when I finally went to sleep. It was also great to wake up feeling good since I didn't drink that much, but the pills made that small amount better!

So yeah, I wouldn't shut up about the pills last night and looks like A Lot of my friends want to try them. Next party I have, I might just buy a bottle and give them out to everyone to try them! All I know is that this is one supplement I plan on using for a loooong time! Thanks guys!!!!

Thanks,
-Mike

Go Bears!

Man you're missing out. I don't know if i'll be able to drink without my Phenibut XT! lol ... i'll give it another run next weekend to see if the effects are consistent.

[theshrink]

Day 2:

Well after my crazy day yesterday, I decided not to take any today. I feel alright today, my normal self but a bit tired so I felt that there was no need to take any today. And I didn't take any before bed because I'm tired as it is so I wouldn't notice any difference. Tomorrow I'll try taking a two pill dose during school and see if school's any better.

Go Bears!

Its funny, we cant promote the product that way obviously, and obviously cant condone nor recomend it be taken that way, but we actually have a couple retail stores that actually promote the product for that purpose.

Glad you are liking it so far.

And yeah, 4 degree weather will sober anyone up lol

[theshrink]

Day 3!:

Dose 1:

So I took my first dose today after I had taken a philosophy class. Before the class I had eaten a meal. So I took it about an hour and a half ago. This time I didn't really feel any type of euphoric effect, but I do feel sorta happier or more relaxed than I usually do. Also, around this time I'm usually very tired, but right now I just feel good.

Not sure if I'll feel any better or worse, but right now just seems like I'll have a good day. I will update nevertheless later.

Update:

So during my next philosophy class I all of a suddent got this weird head rush. Felt nice, sort of as if I had drank a little or something. Odd that it happened an hour and 45 minutes after I took it though. Still, nice. Oh and I forgot to add, this time I took two.

Thanks,
-Mike

[Blap Blaow]

how often/per week are you planning on using Phenibut XT?

[theshrink]

how often/per week are you planning on using Phenibut XT?

I was thinking 5 days per week at most, but I'll play it by ear. Like depending on what happens on what day will decide if I take it and how many I will take. Does that sound alright?

[Bloute]

I like the result with alcohol, I think I will buy a bottle soon !

5 days a week sounds okay. It really doesnt have to be a set pattern there.

[extremenergy3]

I ahd the same problem with updating my signature too! But BBD helped me out with that. You see the "Quick Links" above? Click on that and go to "Edit Signature". Edit your signature and save! It updates your sig immediately! Why? I have no idea. But I never update my signature with bodyspace anymore lol. Your log is funny, SUBBED.

[theshrink]

I like the result with alcohol, I think I will buy a bottle soon !

I think buying it just for the effects you feel from the combination with alcohol is well worth the very cheap price!

5 days a week sounds okay. It really doesnt have to be a set pattern there.

I assume that you guys just want me to follow the guidelines where you can take it for 5 days in a row and give it a 2 day break or go two weeks and a one week break with no more than four pills a day right?

I think a nice thing about Phenibut XT is that it is versatile in its uses. You can take it however you feel fit. Everyone has their own individual tolerance and dosage range that they have to find.

One more question, and I ask this because of my update, how long does it take before you begin to feel the effects, on average, and about how long should/do they last?
