Phenibut has been tested and studied in people, to say it hasn't been is misleading and outright false. It is a safe and effect treatment for natural GABA abnormalities in the brain.

This stuff is beyond belief for a general, overall feeling of calmness. It's also amazing for generalized/social anxiety. This stuff actually requires a prescription in many countries ... it's that potent. It's still given to Russian Cosmonauts on their missions in case they have any severe anxiety/panic moments. That should show how potent this stuff truly is.

BUT...for the past year and a half I have been a recovering alcoholic/pill abuser for over 17 years. "Needing" to take 2 - 2 1/2 g of Phenibut a day for me is something I can live with. I'm not pill seeking anymore, I'm not drinking myself into oblivion, I'm not "borrowing" money from friends and family to feed my pill addiction. It's all a tradeoff. Yes, if you don't need to take this, if you can live without it, then do that. I, however, tend to find harmful ways to calm my depression and anxiety when I'm not on phenibut. Use common sense, just do what works best for YOU. I use the capsules from Powder City which are not in the drop-down menu.

This article makes blatantly false assertions. Phenibut, more specifically R-Phenibut, has been used as a drug for decades in eastern Europe and other countries around the world. It is available as a prescription. Just because a patent is not available and therefore no drug company is willing to seek FDA approval does not mean "No one knows if it works." Get your stuff straight, WebMD. T ... Show Full Comment
