F-Phenibut: Difference between revisions
>Winch No edit summary |
>Winch F-Phenibut = stronger GABA B agonist, weaker Calcium Channel Blocker. Thus it has a better tolerance profile than Phenibut. F-Phenibut lasts half as long as Phenibut, meaning the difference is not high enough to say that compulsive redosing is more pronounced with the fluorinated version. It's also worth mentioning this characteristic is more specific to dopaminergic and opioidergic agents because of their immediate stimulation of the reward pathway unlike GABAergic and Ion channels depressants. |

*'''[[Effect::Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement]]''' - Unlike [[alcohol]] which merely increases sociability through [[disinhibition]], F-Phenibut presents entactogenic effects which, although much weaker than that of traditional [[entactogens]] such as [[MDMA]], are still prominent and well-defined even at moderate doses. | *'''[[Effect::Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement]]''' - Unlike [[alcohol]] which merely increases sociability through [[disinhibition]], F-Phenibut presents entactogenic effects which, although much weaker than that of traditional [[entactogens]] such as [[MDMA]], are still prominent and well-defined even at moderate doses. | ||

Tolerance will develop to the sedative-hypnotic effects [[Time to full tolerance::within a couple of days of continuous use]]. After cessation, the tolerance returns to baseline in [[Time to zero tolerance::7 - 14 days]]. Withdrawal symptoms or rebound symptoms may occur after ceasing usage abruptly following a few weeks or longer of steady dosing and may necessitate a [[tapering|gradual dose reduction]]. | Tolerance will develop to the sedative-hypnotic effects [[Time to full tolerance::within a couple of days of continuous use]].
