So last weekend I tried Phenibut. Let me just day it felt like a God send. I felt normal, no anxiety, and normal for the first time in a while! I think a chick was flirting with me as well then I went to the bar.

Fast forward and I was going to take it this weekend as well but it is at my houw and is 30 miles away. I jave not felt withdrawls and the worst I felt is being tempted to take a tad more it the effects don't take effect. I also take NAC, Piracetam, and Noopept and the NAC and Noopept seem to make me calm but my social skills are still so so.

This has lead me to wondering if maybe I really have been missing the point and should look for something to help. I also suffer from depression and anxiety probably since my teen years and I can generally be cynical. My mom says I should get on something but in the past I usually thought of SSRI's, which a friend of mine with similar brain chemistry takes and it turns him into a zombie. Now realizing that it is not ssris or nothing I have started to consider maybe I need to reach out to a doctor in light of a recent traumatic event in my life. I don't want to be a prescription chaser, but I feel like I need something that does not number me but gives me more of a stimulating effect as I could get the dull effect from L thenanine. I am not sure what my options are as andrefil is Gaba based and is likely to not react well with Phenibut but I am not sure if there is anything similar that does not involve SSRI's. Correct me if I am wrong and explain any experiences you have had. I am in my mid 20s and have tried other ways to deal with it and feel like I might need to explore this avenue (someone commented it seems like I could have add or adhd so that is a potential avenue to discuss with my doctor as I don't want to see like a druggy of the bat)
