Hi i am a 26 male with generalised anxiety disorder. I have been taking 10 mg propronalol twice daily for the past 4 to 5 months roughly, recently i have lowered my dose to 5mg twice daily feeling ok i guess apart from does times of high stress were anxiety can cripple me.

Anyways,
I have ordered a supplement Phenibut which i plan to take when needed no more than once a week as it can be addictive. My question is has anyone tried this combo together if so what were there results.,?

I had never heard of this supplement before. I live in the US, where it's legal for it to be sold, but it's not approved by the FDA (Food & Drug Admin) so it's not marketed or advertised.here.

I read this review on a nootropic substances web site about it: Is Phenibut Legal in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia or Internationally? It seems to be a precursor of GABA, which is hugely relaxing.

The effects sound fantastic but when they get to the part about dependence on the substance, potential "hangover" effects if you take it one day then not the next, and the awful symptoms a lot of people get when they stop taking it, it sounds like a kind of benzo but maybe worse.

The review says "not recommended for long-term management of GAD".

The only drugs I saw mentioned to not take with it were anticonvulsants and MAOI drugs.

When I first started reading I was thinking, wow, I want to try this, but by the end of the review, I was thinking - "oh, maybe not". If I had extremely bad anxiety or panic attacks and no access to effective prescription meds, I might get some for emergencies.

If you let us know how it works for you, I'd be interested to hear. I don't know if you'd need to take the propanolol on days you take the Phenibut - it might make you extremely tired - not sure.

I take a beta blocker, but it's for high blood pressure. I'm assuming yours is for anxiety and that your blood pressure is normal?

Hi Jo-thorn thanks for the reply, yes i take propronalol for anxiety and ectopic heart beats, which seems to come when anxiety is high.

I guess i was sort of the same as youself when i found this supplement, thought it was the holy greil of supplements" on till i read deeper into its potential risks,
( had already ordered it by this point "ha typical).

I guess now that it on its way i might just give it a try. Just cant seem to find anything on taking it while on propronalol. Guess i will keep looking.

I've never taken it, it's mostly used in Russia. It's more or less a muscle relaxant like baclofen. I would be really careful with it.
