Since Sunday night I've slept a total of 4 hours, I'm going to the doctor this afternoon to get my melatonin levels checked and possibly something for tonight to induce sleep as I've had a couple of minor hallucinations.

The only change I've made recently is increasing my daily food intake, does anyone think this could be related to sleeping issues?

Don't know about the others, but pure phenibut is usually 500mg to start with, and increase from there if no effects are felt (takes a few hours to set in and can stay in your body for a day, so only increase the dose 24 hours later). Remember to have wash out periods, 4 days on 3 off etc. as the body can build tolerance fast in a matter of days/weeks and then you'll be taking grams of the stuff to get the same effects.

Have also read that addiction and withdrawal from long term use of phenibut are unpleasant, so it may be useful to do short term trials to keep yourself in check.

Hey guys/girls I got my GABA powder, phenibut and l-arginine powder and just wondering what I should use to get the right amount ?

To be honest I think start with gaba and arginine and see how you go. I think you would be surprised with the results. Phenibut will serve it's purpose if really needed but something to avoid if possible because of it's negative side effects with dependancy. Just a thought.

I would disagree strongly with the e-opinions on Phenibut about negative side effects and dependancy.

Also respectfully , that GABA or Arginine are actually effective in directly treating sleep function. Neither can pass the blood brain barrier to effect the brain. Not withstanding they might, they aren't anything near the effectiveness of Phenibut, for obvious reasons.

Arginine can help reduce cortisol but, the assumption would be you are defficient. It has a mild stimulation on HGH levels but, only if injected. Oral ingestion has no effect.

Phenibut is phenylated GABA and is able to pass the barrier.

Adding my own experience. Doesn't prove the science case for or against but, is consistant with the already established scientific data.

I have been taking it for some weeks now . And I have tested high dosages (upto 5gms) and suffered zero withdrawal or tollerance increases. It did casue me to laugh my ass off though. I have gone days without it recently with no ill effects. No suprises really.

Mmmmm science is amazing....especially when it tries to disprove things that have proven to work in REAL LIFE. Scientists or pharmacists with minimal real life experience should give no weight to research and white papers especially when real world experiences differ. That's ok. They will learn the limitations of science eventually.

All I know is from my personal experiences are that being on meds for 10 years ( I was wrong in my post about 6 or 8 years whatever ) is that all it did was turn me into a fat slob who had no ambition or drive. ( I forced myself to the gym 4 times a week and did not lose any weight or gain any muscle ) I also still had trouble sleeping and also lost the fight or flight response and just didn't care in general. Now I know people will say that I was on the wrong meds etc but I had tried about 5 different types during that stage.

In regards to sleep I was prescribed endep as well as various aids and all I can say was that while I did sleep for about 4 hours I than was restless for the remainder of the evening and woke up feeling more exhausted than when I went to bed. The couple of natural sleep aids I have found have allowed me the best nights sleep I have ever had but the down side is the body gets used to it very quickly so I have to sacrifice some nights so I can get sleep others. Not perfect I know but better than the alternative.

I'm not for or against medicines I just believe if they work than that's great but if not than there is an alternative.

Hey l33sh. Hope you are feeling better.

Just to add for the first time I am prescription drugs and trying natural supplements. While I still am a bit up and down ( anxiety plays a big part ) I am actually fitter and more with it than I ever have been. A mate saw me today and asked what I have been doing cause I look so good. ( no homo lol ) It' feels good that people notice these things.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
