Ok , so I saw this yesterday and didn ' t have time to comment . I ' ve had experience with these symptoms that ' s you ' re talking about . Up until now , I ' ve never met anyone that had them after taking a dose . I ' ve talked to lots of folks that had these problems in WD , however . I ' m not exactly sure why this happens . For me , I noticed it in my left hand first . It was tingling , sort of numb , and weaker than my right hand . When I touched something , it felt almost as if I had a tissue paper glove on I couldn ' t feel as well . This was when my doses were around 45 g a couple times a day . So it wasn ' t at my worst , but I still wasn ' t physically addicted at that point , either . Middle ground , per se . I blew it off , and as time went on , more and more of my body become numb , tingling , and weaker . My feet , then ankles , then calves . Hands , arms . Finally , the crown of my head and my tongue and lips became incredible tingly . I was so freaked out that I went to the doctor , and was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy that day . I was prescribed Elavil , and that helped . But the only thing that actually solved the problem was dropping my dose . I ' d go a day without it , and the tingling and numbness and weakness would go away considerably , only to come back the next day when I ' d dose higher again . This was my main motivation to quit . I quit , with no physical WD symptoms . I waited about a month , and started using phenibut again , at lower doses . The weakness only returned if I took abnormal high doses . Regular maintenance doses didn ' t cause it . When I ' d google my symptoms , it seemed nothing came up . Some people report a tingly sensation from taking too much GABA , but it didn ' t sound anywhere near as severe as mine , or constant like mine . After a while I did , in fact , become physically addicted . The withdrawal included the muscle weakness and fatigue I ' d experienced earlier , only much more serious . I describe it as quit your job fatigue . I didn ' t want to get out of bed , do dishes , pay bills , anything . The fatigue resolved after my WD was over about 10 days . Pure hell . Anyway , I just wanted you to know that you ' re not alone in this . I ' ve gone through it before . It was scary , I felt alone , frightened , and helpless . My advice would be to try to lower your dose gradually . If you need a taper plan , and feel lost , let me know . I ' ll look at your dosage and try to help formulate a plan that ' d be as painless as possible . It takes some work , but it ' s not as bad as you make it out to be in your head . Hang in there , friend !
