Are Sweaty Hands And Cold Feet The Side Effects Of Kavince Capsules?

I f been taking Kavince 950mg a few times a week for 4 years. It has Taurine and 4-amino-3-Phenylbutyric acid HCI in it. I have heard this is habit forming. A week ago I was diagnosed with anxiety and I am wondering if this drug can cause withdrawal? I have sweaty prickly palms and very cold feet and have been told I could be having withdrawal systems. Is this possible from taking this product?

Hi,

Kavince 950 mg contains Phenylbutyric (phenibut) acid. One of the big risks associated with phenibut is the formation of dependence. Some people develop a dependence on phenibut after a single use. Phenibut withdrawal symptoms can occur & include rebound anxiety and depression, headaches, agitation, and cognitive deficits. Phenibut is a central nervous system depressant and isn’t currently used clinically in the U.S.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
