Like every other drug available in the market Phenibut also has some possible side effects. Phenibut is ideal for a short term use and not advised to use for a long term purpose. Its effects are for limited period. Slowly with time, the body gets used to the drug and does not show any major effects.
Phenibut has a major side effect of the withdrawal symptoms. The possible side effects are not subtle and are reported to be very unpleasant.
The reason why Phenibut is not legalised in many countries is the lack of long term positive effects, unpleasant and strong side effects and most importantly withdrawal symptoms caused to the users.
