A new trend has formed in the supplement industry are mood and cognitive enhancers such as Phenibut among many others I have yet to try out. Today I will be reviewing Phenibut Free Amino Acid which has a high purity percentage than the H.C.L or Hydro-chloride version making it stronger in effect but shorter lasting.



Nootropics



What exactly is a nootropic exactly, I hear you ask? Well let me give you a brief explanation of what they are. Nootropics are smart drugs, supplement, or substance that improves or enhances mood, creativity, motivation, cognitive functions as well as memory.



Phenibut



Phenibut (aminophenylbutyric acid) has interesting effects on the brain and body. Phenibut as a GABA agonist It was developed in Russia and used by cosmonauts and introduced to the clinical scene in the 1960s. Today, phenibut is used as a self-medication (I use it myself). It has a variety of positive effects such as anxiety suppression, cognitive euphoria, social enhancement, motivation enhancement. The negative effects are hangover, stomach cramps, respiratory suppression. Usually the negative effect start at a high dose past a 1 gram or 2.

My experience



I use phenibut recreational as well as medically as to take away anxiety when going into social interaction where a lot of people such as parties. The only thing the is a con to taking phenibut at parties is that you can't drink alcohol, well not safely. A good combination to take with phenibut is with Weed or Psychedelics on the come up of the trip. The funny thing is I talked to my specialist and told her that I stopped taking my anti-depressant prescription to take phenibut and I stated the facts to her and she agreed that it was a good idea after an hour long discussion. She had no idea what nootropics were. I dose phenibut every few days because of the potential of a dependence and addiction of this substance.



The dangers of Phenibut



Taking phenibut everyday is NOT suggest mainly because you will get a psychical dependence to this substance very quickly. Tolerance builds up in days of taking a dose meaning you will have to take more each day to achieve the same result. I recommend taking phenibut no more than 2 -3 days a week giving yourself a few days to reset the tolerance before starting to dose again. If you build your tolerance really high and go cold turkey than you will have severe withdrawals symptoms.
