Did you tell your doctor you were taking phenibut when they prescribed you benzos? It seems like something you definitely shouldn't mix.
I completely agree that benzos are bad news unless you truly need them. In my relatively uneducated opinion, I don't think they should be a first-line treatment and it's kind of a joke that they're considered schedule 4 (at least compared to things that are schedule 2 - I don't think really anything should be "scheduled"). Benzos and other gaba-ergics may not be as pleasurable as other drugs, but they're very addicting and have the most harmful withdrawal process of any class of drugs.
Phenibut and the prevalence of RC benzos (which aren't subject to the federal analogue act since benzos are schedule 4) are another phenomenon. I think people underestimate the risks of this stuff due to how easy it is to get them - especially phenibut which is sold in a lot of more "legit" websites.
- TearsInTheRain 4y agoThey are considered a first line treatment because they are fast acting whereas other anxiety medications like SSRIs can take weeks to start working.
- opportune 4y agoThat makes complete sense for something like panic attacks. I guess I’m thinking more of GAD - I don’t know if they’re formally first line treatments but I know it’s definitely possible to get started with a long-acting benzo
