I didn't even think you'd respond, but thank you for the info! I'm using pregabalin for my GAD, prescribed by my psychiatrist, I love that drug. And my love for pregabalin led me to phenibut. I actually left that comment, so I could come back and give an answer for someone looking for an answer about dosing phenibut when on pregabalin. Ofc it's different for everyone, but I can finally say - I felt something! I felt...normal ? I was WAAYY more social and my anxiety wasn't such a burden for once. It can be pretty addictive, when you're tense and anxious all the time.

Yeah I’m prescribed 150mg of Lyrica per day for night time restless leg syndrome but I only use it as needed so not daily. I noticed the times I do take it my anxiety vanishes and I love it. I’m really considering asking my doctor to prescribe me 150mg twice a day instead of once for anxiety as well and actually use it daily. Do you think it’s worth it or are there serious downsides? Thanks

U/NORMAL-SQUIRREL1582

Well the day after I decided to take more (so 3 days in a row) because I didn’t feel like feeling like shit. Then for two days after that I was super sluggish, unmotivated, and irritable. I only use it now for social events, lectures, and important meetings and I’ve had no undesirable effects as long as it is spaced out properly.

Add context that might help others — skin type, conditions like PCOS, what you'd tried before. The more specific, the more useful.
