Phenibut effects, yes let’s discuss these today…
Class is in session.
Here I’ll be reviewing what is in my opinion, God’s drug. And that my friend’s, is something called: Phenibut (Pronounced: ”Fen-a-but”).
In a few sentences, here is what this substance will do for you: Remove 75%-100% of all social anxiety that you usually feel (1st dates, social gatherings, public speeches, sales calls or presentations, approaching attractive women, etc.).
I would say about 8 out of 10 people get the same effects from it.
It makes you pro-social, more confident, and very relaxed and at ease. It also is great at removing anxiety just in general.
Everything I just mentioned above were pretty annoying situations for me. At a younger age, I often faced these on a recurring basis. No one example, in particular, was a serious problem (except for maybe the fear I had of public speaking), but finding Phenibut was like a God-send to me.
It bought me time as being something I could take while I worked towards overcoming all those common anxieties.
Where To Buy Phenibut:
If you arrived at this article only looking to actually buy this stuff and already know how it works, I recommend buying it from ScienceBio.com.
Use code ”MLM10” (no parenthesis) to take 10% off your order.
ScienceBio has the purest and absolute best phenibut you can buy, so I would definitely start there.
Phenibut (β-Phenyl-γ-aminobutyric acid) is a legal compound sold in the US as a dietary supplement. It was created in the Soviet Union (now Russia for those that don’t know their history) in the 1960’s and was/is used to treat anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia. It is currently a prescription drug in Russia. In the US, it didn’t start appearing until about 2004.
It’s a phenyl derivative of your brain’s inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA.
Phenibut works by binding to the GABA B receptors in your brain. The GABA receptors are the same ones that regulate stress and anxiety. When you drink alcohol or do hot yoga for example, it impacts your GABA B receptors as well.
Phenibut is a Nootropic (Smart Drug). It can increase your cognitive awareness while on it.
Phenibut produces very similar effects on social freedom that drinking alcohol does. What is better about Phenibut however is that it doesn’t kill your motivation or impair you in the way that alcohol will. If you’re a single guy and you go out on Saturday nights with the guys to meet girls, I highly recommended taking Phenibut over drinking.

With that said, there are a couple of very important things you need to understand about this substance:
Combining Phenibut with alcohol is not advised.
I’m not saying I haven’t done this, and I’m not saying you can’t. What I am saying is that you walk a fine line. If you drink too much on this stuff it’s much easier to blackout and have something bad happen.
I know a guy that took this and woke up with scars on his face the next morning.
An extreme example sure, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see it happen.
It’s not necessary anyway, Phenibut produces extremely similar effects that alcohol does. If you simply just like to drink, it’s okay to have a few beers or a couple of cocktails on it and then STOP. If you go past that, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
It takes a while to kick in.
By a while I mean it takes 2 hours (or longer) to start feeling it. It is very highly advised that you take Phenibut on an empty stomach. If taken on an empty stomach you might start feeling it at around 90 minutes. Once it kicks in, the half-life is about 5 hours. This part can vary from one guy to the next but again, I would make an educated guess that for about 80% of people, it will work the same way.
Keep in mind if you weigh 200 lbs. or over then that will likely mean a higher dose will be necessary (I weigh 180 lbs.). The effects can be felt lingering for as long as 24 hours after dosing. Each time I’ve taken it, I have felt it into the next day. We call this the Phenibut ‘‘Afterglow’’.
Here is how it usually works for me:
- Dose on an empty stomach,
- Feel it kick in 2 hours later,
- Feel incredible for the next 5 hours,
- Then still feel awesome when the afterglow starts but just slightly less so.
Chris from GoodLookingLoser.com recommends once it kicks in that you take a stimulant with it such as caffeine, or an energy drink. I agree with him.
This will enhance the effects of how you feel as the stimulant compliments the Phenibut very well.
DOSING:
I take Phenibut in doses of anywhere from 1 Gram (1,000 mg), to 2 Grams (2,000 mgs.). For your first time, I recommend only taking 500 mgs. (1/2 Gram). You’ll have to buy a digital scale and get it calibrated (don’t forget this part).
You can get it calibrated right there in the store. If you order from Lifmode they’ll put a pink scooper in there that’s equal to a 500 mg. dose.
Your first time dosing the primary goal is to get a feel for how your body will react to it. Start smaller and then work your way up from there. Your first 3 times taking it, you might feel it much more acutely than on subsequent dosages.
Depending on how you feel on it, you might consider dosing up to 1 gram on your 3rd time but definitely no more than that (being that it’s only your 3rd time). Ease your way into this and be smart. This is a serious substance and it should be treated like one.
Like alcohol, you have to use this responsibly.
You may be wondering why this is if I already said it doesn’t impair you like booze does. I say that because Phenibut does have a few side effects (more on this below). We’ve already mentioned the bad alcohol combination side effect.
Eventually, you’ll work your way up to a couple of weekly doses of anywhere from 1-2 grams (1,000-2,000 mgs.).
I dose it 2-3 times a week at 1, 1.5, and 2 grams. I got this dosing schedule from Will of RevolutonaryLifestyleDesign.com, who also has a great article on Phenibut.

The Dose After The Dose:
On dosing days, sometimes I’ll take a 2nd dose 5 hours after my 1st dose. By that I mean 5 hours AFTER it hits me (so 7 hours after I actually take it). Again, it usually takes about 2 hours (even on an empty stomach) to even hit you.
(Important: When taking the 2nd dose, only take about 500-1,000 mgs. because the Phenibut from the 1st dose will still be in your system. Dosing this 2nd time just makes it last longer into the day).
NOTE: As a general rule, do not exceed 4 grams in a given 24 hour period. Also try not to take it more than 2 days in a row.
My current dosing routine is: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday at 10:00 am. This is perfect because it’s 2 hours before lunch (I do intermittent fasting), so by the time I start eating it’s already hit me. Remember: take this on an empty stomach!
It amazes me how many times I have to remind people of that. If you’re not going to take this correctly, you might as well not take it at all. Dosing this right after eating will make it take longer to kick in, and you won’t feel it to its full effect.
Dosing Schedule (Example):
1.) Wednesday morning: 9:00am (1 gram), then again at 4:00pm (1 gram).
2.) Saturday morning: (same exact thing, maybe add a ½ gram to one of the doses).
This puts you at 4-4.5 total grams for the week, which I recommend staying under. Once you start going over this you’re pushing it.
4 ounces of Phenibut should last you about 4 months. If you go through it in 2 months, and you’re not giving it away, you’re consuming too much.
Positive Side Effects Of Phenibut:
1.) Music sounds incredible on it.
2.) Extreme calmness and well-being/reduced anxiety, both in specific situations and overall.
3.) Pro-Social behavior (if you’re in sales, Phenibut will be a very good friend to you).
4.) Increases cognitive awareness.
5.) PERFECT if needing to give a public speech or presentation.
6.) Doesn’t kill motivation like prescription anxiety medications do. It can actually increase motivation.
7.) Very inexpensive considering what you get out of it.
8.) Similar effects to alcohol such as less inhibition, without all the negative physical and mental side effects of alcohol. Less inhibition can be a good thing or a bad thing however depending on the type of personality you already have.
You’re very comfortable and relaxed on phenibut so you want to be careful. Don’t feel too comfortable and say something out of line (if in a professional work environment).
Sometimes you can just get a little too carefree.
9.) It goes GREAT with Kratom. Here is my article on Kratom.
Feeling the effects of both of these at the same time is probably the closest feeling there is to ‘’high’’ that you’ll ever hear me endorse (except for a natural Gym high).
The combination of Phenibut and Kratom together can best be described as extreme calmness and an extreme sense of well-being.
10.) Sex feels much better.
By that, I mean about 3 times better. In the same way that music is 3 X better, so is sex. This is why some people have described Phenibut as feeling like a very (very) low dose of the drug ‘’Molly’’.
I’ve never taken molly, so I have no idea, that’s just what I’ve heard.

Negative Side Effects Of Phenibut:
1.) Tolerance develops very quickly.
2.) I tend to get pretty mentally spacy if I take upwards of 1.5 grams. For the most part, this negative is out outweighed by the positive effects, however, it can be a bit disruptive to your workday if you have a job that requires focused concentration at a computer.
If you take upwards of 2 grams, it’s likely you’ll start to get sleepy. If you have a low tolerance, this can happen even at 1.5-2 grams. Phenibut is not ideal to take for motivational tasks that don’t involve socializing. For example, cleaning your room, being hunched over a computer working, etc. For that type of work, Kratom is better.
3.) Alcohol needs to be limited to 2-3 drinks (which is a good rule of thumb anyway, so this might be a positive).
4.) Because of the lowered inhibitions, it’s harder to stay disciplined on Phenibut (to a diet for example). If you’re within the first 10 days of a new diet, quitting smoking, or anything that is difficult or new to you, then I don’t advise taking Phenibut.
It will make it very easy for you to say ‘’screw it, I’ll start tomorrow instead’’…
It’s similar to being on a low amount of sleep or being under the influence of a few drinks: You just simply don’t have as much willpower.
5.) It can be addictive. This is mainly more so if you already have an addictive personality. You SHOULD NOT take this substance every day.
Since this binds to your brain’s GABA B receptors, taking this every day could be a problem. Your GABA receptors release chemicals in your brain that make you feel happy and good.
Taking a substance every day that releases these chemicals can lead to dependency (your brain won’t think it needs to naturally produce these chemicals anymore because they get produced from the daily Phenibut intake).
It makes sense if you think about it: never get dependent on something your body produces naturally (or in this case, something that helps your body produce more of).
Taking this every day, and then stopping cold turkey can cause a serious depression. This substance is no joke. Just don’t be stupid about it and you’ll be fine.
Take this exactly as I’ve outlined here (however, adjust the dose quantity if you weigh over 200 lbs. or under 150 lbs.). The dose quantities I outlined above work for me at 180 lbs.
I highly advise always measuring out how much you take, whether it’s by scale or by the pink scoop (500 mgs.). Try to avoid just dumping a heap into a glass and drinking it (even it’s a small one). To get the most out of Phenibut, you want to make sure you aren’t under-dosing it either.
Honestly other than that, I can’t think of any other negative side effects.
CONCLUSION:
Phenibut is a wonderful substance and has helped me on countless sales appointments and presentations (some of which consisted of a public speech in front of 300 people). It has put dollars in my pocket (and more than just a few too).
It also really helped me overcome approach anxiety, and helped a few dates just go smoother because I wasn’t mentally distracted. On the dates, it more so just helped me to unwind and not be all uptight from the busy workday.
My life owning a business demanded very focused concentration and having to juggle many different balls. Phenibut quickly helped bring me off of mental office work mode.
If you’re all wound up and uptight after a demanding work-day, then this is a much better alternative than smoking mary jane…
I feel like this is at least 80% of everything there is to know about Phenibut, but feel free to do more research yourself.
Again, the Phenibut I recommend is from ScienceBio.com.

Hi there. I just ordered Phenibut and am expecting it to arrive soon… I am typically fine socially but public speaking causing me so much anxiety (shaking, trembling voice, etc.) I have a presentation on Monday and I am going to “test run” phenibut this weekend.
I was wondering if you could help me with dosing? I bought cap form and powder. Just incase one was preferable. I am five foot 2, 22 years old, and 100 pounds. I have never used phenibut or any other supplements/perscriptions for anxiety or anything like that. So I am not taking anything that would interfere.
DO you really think Phenibut will help?
Thanks.
Hello Savannah,
Phenibut is ideal for public speaking.
If you like the pills, the best pill form to take is: this one
Experiment with 500-750 mgs., see how you react to that. If you react well, you’re probably safe to take 750 mgs. to 1 gram (1000 mgs.) for the speech. You don’t weigh much so you probably don’t need to take the doses I recommended in the article.
Hope that helps.
How to dose Kratom an phenibut
How do you get the afterglow?
The afterglow just happens after you take it, after it wears off.
What happens if you go on a date then eat???
Take the phenibut 3 hours before your date and by waiting 3 hours you’re okay to eat at that point.
I’m still confused. You are supposed to consume it on an empty stomach which means two hours after eating, and it takes two hours to work. So if you eat lunch at 1pm and your date is at 7pm… See why I’m confused? Does eating make the effects go away like with kratom?
No I’m not sure why you’re confused, just take Phenibut 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach (before you eat for the day). Or the next best way is to just take it at the halfway point between lunch and dinner. So for example if you usually eat lunch at noon, and dinner at 7:00pm, then take the phenibut at the halfway point (3:30pm)
How best to use for sleep….does it work good
It works well for sleep in a higher dose (2-3 grams), but not every night.
what should be your first dose if you weigh 230?
At that weight I would go with .75-1 gram mgs. for the 1st dose. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery however while you’re on your 1st dose, as you don’t know yet how your body will react to it yet.
Should I take phenibut HLC or FAA? I’m doing it to lessen my anxiety, be more social and laid back, mimic that tipsy feel you get after a couple drinks. Is one safer? Work faster? More effective? Thanks!
