Interesting first experience

Heard about phenibut through the kratom sub and after a little research I decided to try it out. Recently was on a kratom tolerance break so I thought it would be a good time to try it while not using any other substance, besides caffeine.

I wanted to see how it worked for me at work, since that is when i mainly use kratom and need that extra boost.

5 am: take 1.3g and go back to sleep.

6:30 am: wake up, feel a little warmer than normal but no noticeable effects.

7:30 am: on my way to work, starting to feel a little weird, hard to explain but it definitely wasn't pleasant. Also had to take a crap and I never poop in the morning.

8:15 am: at work and feeling pretty crappy. I feel disconnected and gross. Also I have to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes because I felt like I had to pee even though my bladder wasn't full. Not enjoying myself at this point.

9 am: Out of nowhere the clouds parted on my so far bad experience and all those negatives I was feeling on the "come up" period disappear. I feel relaxed and quietly content. I am more chatty than normal and am in a kind of goofy playful mood. My work is kind of physical and I was noticeably less fatigued during my work period. These positive effects only lasted about 4 hours or so but I didn't experience any type of hangover effect either, which was nice.

All in all I would say it was a net positive. I'm thinking of upping my dose next time, since the positive effects where nice but subtle. I'm just a little worried that taking more will also exacerbate the negative effects I felt on the come up. Any feedback would be appreciated.
