Guys, what do you think about Phenibut as a means to reduce social inhibition? What dosages do you usually use, and what do you add to it (caffeine or alcohol)?

Heres my phenibut tale. First off it absolutely reduces social inhibition. If you take it ( which i will explain) and keep it to once a week max, it works very well. It gives you a laid back feeling, less anxiety in general and makes you chatty. It literally lasts 24 hours and doesnt have a comedown, and will leave you with an after glow the next day. There are downsides though.
In college I used take 2-3grams of phenibut and drink alcohol on top of it every weekend. The mixture of the two turns you into a social animal and I got lots of women. I was a degenerate but it makes you extremely social, euphoric and confident. My friends would do the same. The thing is you ARENT supposed to drink on it and im pretty sure it is literally dangerous. I do not recommend it even tho i told you the benefits. On its own, or maybe getting typsy on it, should be sufficent and enough to help you if you wanna socialize alot at a specific event or on a specific day. Dont start taking it daily cause apparently the withdrawals are hell and you can become very dependent on it to socialize and it stops working after awhile. If youre somebody who works out and wants to stay in shape its something you can take to replace alcohol or atleast replace a large chunk of drinking with it. I would binge drink on it and who knows the damage it did to me or could have done.
it works to reduce social inhibition, even on its own. If you keep it to once a week, its a good replacement to alcohol and you can take it for occasions where being drunk would be weird. On times you really wanna socialize, and people are drinking, getting a bit typsy on top of it combines with it and makes you super social. But drink on it at your own risk cause who knows what that does to your GABA system and brain chemicals over time, or if you do it and really like it and keep drinking more and more and you OD or something.
I had a friend who would take it and drink alot and one time he woke up in somebody elses living room sleeping on their couch, and also one time somebodies front porch. The combo also makes you aggresive (more than alc on its own) and rekless.
Sorry i know you just asked about phenibut. If you can seriously make sure not to go above 1 time a week, and keep below 3grams at a time, you will see benefits. Take it on an empty stomach, and take it like this; 1.5 gram on am empty stomach, wait 2 hours still on empty stomach and take another gram. Then wait another hour if you decide to eat. Mixed with caffiene also increases its benefit, and at your own risk, a little bit of drinking. Also realize you are messing with brain chemicals (like any substance) in a powerful way and there isnt alot of study on the long term effects it has on your brain. Messing with your gaba can lead to problems like people who take anti anxiety meds for a long time, can come off and have really bad rebound anxiety. Thats why people say to seriously monitor your usage and once a week MAX is recommended, preferrably 2 times a month if you can. Dont take it as a daily thing. Anyways thats it

I plan to try for the first time next week, cause of all the positive experiences others have shared. It's improtant you only use it occasionally, like max 1 time a week, cause of the tolerance buildup and withdrawal shit. So I'll try 800 mg 6 hours before heading to the club (with caffeine 1 hour after dosing), then maybe add 1-2 drinks only if I think I can handle (after 6 hours), apparentley 1 drink can feel like 3 when using phenibut. The real like danger and brutal side effects happens when dosing too frequentley and increasing dosage.
