F-phenibut vs phenibut - which is better for tapering?

I've found myself with a long standing GABA drug addiction again. Currently stabilised on ~600mg of F-phenibut FAA per day.

With the choice between only GABA agonists I have access to, F-phenibut FAA and phenibut FAA, which is easier to quit?

I realise this is a very specific question, after failing to find information elsewhere, I'm hoping someone here may know.

First of all- sorry to hear. I just recently got off phenibut- it’s been a week since going off taper. The tapering process was the worst part but I’m so glad I did it. It made the jump to 0 almost easy.

Anyway your question- I imagine it might be worth considering the half life. If you want to do it quickly- try f-phenny. If not- regular. Tbh you’re kinda fucked either way. NAC for glutamate storms- empty stomach take a gram - it will save your ass. Take every GABA supplement you can find and consider trying agmatine. I also found black seed oil helpful for increasing GABA and blocking calcium channels (which is a mechanism of phenibut).

###Basic Phenibut Withdrawal Information

Unaided, cold turkey withdrawal, from a state of dependence, even low dose dependence, commonly causes severe and potentially dangerous side effects. Don't rush the process when you don't need to.

Rules reminder:
Don't promote reckless behavior. If someone is dependent on phenibut don't tell them to do an unaided cold turkey withdrawal.
Don't needlessly tell people to do a fast taper.

Further reminder: You will feel low or worthless or stupid while going through withdrawal, especially rapid withdrawal. Don't take these thoughts too seriously. Continue on day by day, things will get better.
