Never Snort Phenibut

I read that snorting phenibut was an effective and efficient means of consumption. Because I had extremely pure phenibut (none of that nasty HCL!) I decided it wouldn't hurt to try snorting a very small amount several hours after I took a regular dose.

Within 20 minutes of snorting a small line, I got a horrible headache. My inner voice died a little, my thoughts were slow and slushy. I felt as if my body was heavy, weak, and very tired.

After another 20 minutes, gratingly anxious thoughts slowly permeated my head. I wondered if I would ever come down.

I took antioxidants, drank 3 bottles of water, a huge amount of pasta, took a dump, and felt much better. Still, the headache persisted, so I decided it was best to go to sleep.

I slept 17 hours, and when I woke up, felt very stupid. My motivation was sapped, and my thoughts sluggish. Swearing never to use phenibut again, I flushed my large stash down the toilet.

After several days, I fully recovered. I don't know if there was any permanent damage, I doubt there was. (Caution: I'm not a doctor.) I seems like a GABA overload, the same type of thing which occurs when one has a bad hangover.
