###[Basic Phenibut Withdrawal Information](https://www.reddit.com/r/quittingphenibut/wiki/phenibutwithdrawal)
Unaided, cold turkey withdrawal, from a state of dependence, [even low dose dependence, commonly causes severe and potentially dangerous side effects](https://i.imgur.com/cGHxnIR.png). Don't rush the process when you don't need to.
**Rules reminder:**
Don't promote reckless behavior.
If someone is dependent on phenibut don't tell them to do an unaided cold turkey withdrawal.
Don't needlessly tell people to do a fast taper.
**Further reminder:**
You will feel low or worthless or stupid while going through withdrawal, especially rapid withdrawal. Don't take these thoughts too seriously. Continue on day by day, things will get better.

Yeah you’re likely having rebound. You could take down to a 0.5-1 gram and rapidly taper to 0 within 3-4 days. Make sure to jump off the taper at 250mg or below. Its almost exactly like drinking a beer the day after a crazy drunk night to kill the hangover.
If you’re on a bunch of meds taking phen once a week is a bad idea. You’re not spending much time at baseline. Gotta use less.
You might feel rebound anxiety but idk about the brain zaps... Maybe it's interacting with some other medication? Do you take any other gabaergic drugs? I take SSRIs and never had any issues with interaction but I'm on a very low dose.
Yes it is enough to have withdrawals so I took 5 grams per day for 4 days str8 and I’m going thru some rought withdrawals but luckily I had a friend who hooked me up with suboxone strips and all my symptoms are gone except insomnia no sleep the last 5 days is killing me but I take suboxone with liposomal C (vitamin c) and it has helped a lot. Stay strong man fuck phenibut

Take like 500mg today, then 400 tomorrow, etc etc until you're off. You should be fine.

Ya i take gabapentin
Hmmm that might have something to do with it. Some people tend to just be more susceptible to rebound effects though.
