In reply to Starting Parnate is phenibut safe to use prn?, posted by metamorphosis on December 25, 2012, at 23:33:35
> Yes, I am about to start Parnate. Now, some questions about certain supplements arise. I have some phenibut. I use it prn, usually 4-6 times a month on certain social and/or high stress occasions. I have been looking for any possible interactions between the two. Using google, interaction checkers and reading posts on forums. So far, I have found little information on the subject and nothing conclusive. Only one well respected person, who posted once on the topic yrs ago. He stated that pure GABA affecting drug/supplements is safe with Parnate. But that was only one post from 4 yrs ago.I am thinking this will be a safe combination. Considering phenibut is a GABAergic supplement and benzodiazepines are not contraindicated with Parnate. I don't think that GABAa or GABAb drugs would have an interaction. But, I would still really love a definitive and concrete answer to this. I figured the MAOI guys/girls on this forum would be my best shot at getting the answer.
