Hi fellow Babblers
I finally managed to persuade my Pdoc to prescribe Pregabalin!
I started my trial on Saturday 5 of Feb.As well as Pregabalin I am taking Effexor 150mgs a day
I also ordered some Phenibut over the internet, although it is classed a supplement if feels like a drug, and is classed as one in Russia.My main problem is social anxiety, although I also have some generalised anxiety thrown in.
In my experience I find Pregabalin to be very different from Benzo’s, it doesn’t produce quite the calm that benzo’s provide, however it doesn’t cause brain fogging, or lethargy.
It is rather stimulating and calming at the same time, which feels quite pleasant, it has a definite anti depressant effect. It definitely does help with social anxiety, although it doesn’t wipe it out like GHB.Personally I prefer it to benzo’s.
The major problem with Pregabalin is that tolerance builds up very quickly; I therefore take it every other day, sometimes with longer gaps between doses.Phenibut feels some what similar to GHB, it also seems calming, but somewhat stimulating, it feels very pro social for me.
Its early days with these drugs especially the Phenibut, so I’ll try and keep you posted as to my progress.
