I used to take phenibut, it seemed to help me with social situations. IDK if it's even available anymore.


It is. I buy mine from Nootropics Depot. I think it’s fantastic. Helps with my anxiety and makes me way more sociable than Xanax. Makes music sound better. Makes me pretty damn horny too which is nice for me since I’m 42 and my sex drive is slowly decreasing. I also sleep like a baby when I take it. The stuff is highly addictive though so use with caution

900mgs (3 capsules) of Phenibut from Liftmode


I continue to hear about Phenibut. I am interested in learning more. It looks like the capsules are sold out. I guess the powder wouldn't be any different? Just weigh out

I tried looking on "nootropics depot" but can't seem to find it.

I take the powder and it works great. Just gotta have a milligram scale. I just checked Nootropics Depot and don’t see it there either. That’s where I got mine last but that was several months ago. Liftmode does have it though. I do still put the powder in capsules after I weigh it cause apparently it’s super acidic and bad for your teeth. I also take it with Tums because I have issues with acid reflux. You may want to consider doing that if you have any issues with heartburn

How often and what dosage do you use? The other poster made it sound like just once a week for a great day at 900 mg.

Thanks for the info.

I honestly try to keep it to just once a week. I take 500mg - 1000mg. I got addicted doing it twice a week for a few weeks in a row. Not terrible withdrawals but I literally couldn’t sleep for 5 days straight. I do occasionally take it twice a week but not regularly. It starts to lose its magic if you take it too often so the less often you do it the better it works. Just be safe with it and give it some respect. Especially if you have an addictive personality as most of us do

Yikes! If I do try it then I will start off very slow. I'm one of those people that if I drink a coffee I won't sleep.

Sounded great up until this point. I’d be snorting it everyday by the 3rd weekend.

I know certain people with big platforms like to push them, but I’m a little leery about using them.

Also, Alpha Brain is made by Onnit, who I think are REALLY expensive. I’m not willing to pay that kind of money for supps.

I had a container of phenobit powder 8-9 yrs ago. It's definately addictive if you have a hard time controling yourself. It also gave me some pretty bad sleep paralysis and night terrors a couple of times.

Tried Alpha Brain for the first time before a job interview this week, really nailed the interview. Already have another one next week.

Took it before mountain biking today and had one of the best rides ever. Felt like I was sharper and my decision making was quicker and easier.

I’m not gonna take it every day but before stuff like this it’s been working great for me.

I have been reading TD daily since about 2008. Graduated from LSU in 2013. Anyways, I figured now would be a good time for a 1st post.

I am in the O&G industry in the Permian, but due to some autoimmune issues I basically had to make unconventional health/wellness a serious hobby. After several years of this, I partnered with a friend of mine who had Lyme's (similar path as me) and we created a health and wellness company called Republic of Health. We actually just launched a nootropic called Flow which provides a calm focus a few months ago.

A few things that we wanted to combat on making this, and subsequent supplements: we wanted to keep it very simple, but highly effective. With the guidance of a neuroscientist and 2 years of trialing, we cut the ingredients down to 4. No proprietary blend - kind of insane to take something that you are unsure of the doses of the comments imo. We have no powder lubricants or fillers. During those 2 years we also vetted suppliers as we wanted the highest possible quality of ingredients that we could get our hands on. The mushroom extract was probably the most difficult to locate, lots of bs in that realm. Through this process we learned that the industry is set up to create highly marketed supplements composed of trash ingredients, which was not all that surprising.

The ingredients of Flow are:
Lion's Mane Mushroom extract, L-Tyrosine, Suntheanine (synthetic form of L-Theanine), and NutriGP Magnesium.

Flow goes really great with coffee/caffeine, as it allows you to leverage the upside and mitigate the edge, but also great on its own. www.republicofhealth.com. Republic of Health If you want to try it, shoot me a pm and I will send a discount code.
