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 don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
