Thank you for sharing this with us.

I've never personally heard of Phenibut. Might have to go do some research on that and ask my pdoc what she thinks.

For me, personally, I'm willing to hear all plausible suggestions for alternative medications.

However, because I am on a number of medications for my Bipolar, I can't throw things into the mix without checking with my pdoc first, as I have no known way of knowing what the side effects or interactions with the meds that I am currently on will be.

I have heaps of friends though that take this or that, mainly from health stores, and they swear by its efficacy.
