- Off-label: alcohol-use-disorder and phenibut/GHB tapers under medical supervision
⚠Key risks
- ABRUPT STOP AFTER LONG USE = SEIZURES/RHABDO/psychosis — the withdrawal is genuinely dangerous and under-warned
- Sedation, hypotension
- Self-treating phenibut withdrawal with baclofen is real medicine — dose errors land people in hospital
- Diversion modest but documented
✚Overdose signs
- Deep sedation
- Slow breathing

| Substance | Class | Top risks | Street price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baclofen (Lioresal) | Rx-only — not controlled | ABRUPT STOP AFTER LONG USE = SEIZURES/RHABDO/psychosis — the withdrawal is genuinely dangerous and under-warned; Sedation, hypotension | ~$0.30–$1 per tablet grey-market |
| Phenibut | Not scheduled US | RAPID TOLERANCE — daily use creates dependence in 2–3 weeks; Withdrawal is BRUTAL and dangerous: severe anxiety, insomnia, hallucinations, psychosis, seizures — worse than benzodiazepine withdrawal for some | ~$20–$50 per 50g powder |
| F-Phenibut (Fluorophenibut) | Unscheduled grey market | Same brutal dependence/withdrawal — the fluorine just means smaller doses make the same trap; Dose-error risk: users dosing by phenibut habits overdose | $20–$50 per 10 g |
| Alcohol (Ethanol) | Legal adult product worldwide; sale to minors banned | THE most harmful drug in most countries by total harm scores: liver disease (cirrhosis), cancer (7 types — breast, colon, liver...); Dependence: ~10-15% of regular heavy drinkers; withdrawal can KILL (seizures, delirium tremens — deadlier than heroin withdrawal) | ~$1–$3 per standard drink retail |
