Phenibute as a tool to get off of benzos or alcohol or prevent relapse

[strange_object]

I am curious if anyone has tried phenibut as a tool to get off of benzos or alcohol or prevent relapse. I know that some people have had success with it with getting off of GHB, but I am curious if it might work with similar drugs.

My friend swim has had good success with phenibut. He says it is one of those things either you love it or you hate it. Swim says that it gives him a positive vibe, and keeps him in a good mood for most of the next day when he takes it before bed. He says it lacks the withdrawl symptoms like xanax and gives him a more positive attitude when he wakes up. I too have noticed a nice change in him. He says it helps, but tolerance builds up quickly, and notes that when mixed with alcohol, phenibut tends to make him very sleepy. From what i have read, it stimulates gaba receptors. He says it is a nice alternative for him since the benzos weren't working like they should anymore, he says the only drawback is that tolerance builds quickly similar to benzo's so it doesn't work on him as good without taking more. There is no toxicity information on this stuff yet, so it seems to be very safe, from what i have read! Hope this helps!
