So I recently found out the OTC sleep supplement my naturopathic doc prescribed me has phenibut in it. I'm a bit pissed since I've been so careful to avoid any type of benzo/Gaba agonist dependence. It's got melatonin and trytophan in it too, but its 650mg of phenibut per pill. I've been taking it every night, with breaks now and then anywhere from a day or two to a week or more, and only at bedtime. But now that I've been tapering down off opioids I really need it to get good sleep.
Can you guys who have experience w it suggest how often and how long I need to take breaks from it, in order to keep my GABA receptors in good shape and avoid dependence/withdrawal? I need a fucking benzo-type monkey on my back like I need lung cancer.
