(Editor: This review refers to Serious Nutrition Solutions Phenibut XT)

I currently use about 1-1.5 grams of phenibut for anxiety relief as needed. The product works quite well as a anti anxiety. The product also have very strong euphoric feeling as well. I have gotten extremely drowsy off of this product within about an hour of taking. I have noticed when i take before bed i sleep very deeply through the night and do not wake up at all. Unfortunatly the next morning i wake up very drowsy with severe dizziness and vertigo, these sides usually last for the first 4-5 hours after waking but can be difficult to drive or go to work the day after using the product. For the price it is very worth while. My wife uses the product quite frequently with similar effects and side effects.

Really a great supplement. I am using the one by SNS Phenibut because I know its pure quality and the cheapest around, and this review alone just made me want to take some.

It takes a while to feel, maybe 1-2 hours but if you take it anytime before sleep, you will get rested and wake up great. You slowly feel it kick in but if you take enough it becomes apparent. I use between 500-1500mg before sleep, and or a few hours before sleep upto 2500mg.

This has a little drug feel for relieving stress as well, but sometimes it may make you a little tired. Just really depends on your mood. You can take some with Alcar/Tyrosine, and maybe caffeine and get a good lift if anything.

As far as the Phenibut itself goes, the effect is pretty consistent, the comedown is good, and it works for almost everyone, so there is no risk with trying it.

Increasing the dosage from the recommended 400mg to 2g gave me good effects. The effects kicked in fully after about 3 hours, and lasted well into the next day. It has a strong sedative effect, and should allow you to have a good night's sleep. It does cause some loss of coordination, so be careful if you're operating machinery or vehicles.
