In reply to Phenibut - social phobia/prosociability, posted by not_so_pro_social on April 24, 2005, at 9:41:13
I have been taking phenibut and although I certainly understand some people's initial disappointment (it is not the next GHB), I have to say that this supplement is actually very great for social anxiety. I think the term "social anxiety" was actually named after me. I have tried most everything to get over it, but the things that have worked have always come back to bite me in the butt (addiction). Phenibut seems to be a different story. It may not get one high in the sense that GHB or alcohol does, but there is DEFINITLY a strong relaxation effect. I believe that there is also some strong pro-social effect. I find when I take it, I just enjoy talking more. Not in my usual drunken, blabering way, but in a relaxed, confident way. If your looking for a high (which I am not adversed to), this is probably not the way to go. But I would give phenibut a fair trial. It takes a couple hours (1.5-2) to kick in (I know, that sucks), but once
it does, it hangs around for awhile. In any case, best of luck!
