Phenibut sent me to the emergency room

Yesterday morning, I consumed about 1.5 tsp of Phenibut from Nootropics Depot. That night, I ended up in the hospital with very extreme pain in my stomach/lower intestines. During the daytime I was experiencing a mild stomachache that escalated into extreme pain in my intestines around six hours after the ingestion. I'm still experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea. I did not use a scale to measure my dose, so it's more than likely that was my issue. I'm aware of how dumb this is, and clearly I'm not responsible enough to be taking nootropics.
It is worth noting that I use to own a scale and found that a teaspoon of Phenibut (which I always ordered from Ceretropic) was about 1 to 1.5 grams. I used this method to measure my dosage many times and had no issues. However, this batch was clearly either more potent or possibly bad. Again, I think it was me taking too much and not using a scale, but I'm not 100%.
This reaction was rather extreme.
I am hoping I didn't do any permanent damage to my stomach.

I used Ceretropic's Phenibut many times and never had issues either. This batch from Nootropics Depot is the only time I've had an issue. I will never order from them again. I don't trust them at all; they have sent out bad l-theanine in the past. I should have known better to order from them.

This batch from Nootropics Depot is the same exact supply from Ceretropic. They are literally the exact same powder, from the same supplier, tested at the same facility, and packaged by the same team. On top of that, I personally ran the purity testing on this batch. I am also using it for myself too. I have had no bad reactions to it. However, I use a scale to measure my powder. Volumetric measuring of powders is NOT accurate.
Also, that L-theanine issue was not from our supply. That was before we took over the company. Please don't spread falsehoods about the purity of the things we sell. I hold any company that I control up to the same standards. I am sorry you had stomach issues from taking a large dose of a very acidic compound. It is not a purity problem, though. This is a dosing problem. This is why the High Risk tag is constantly put up on Phenibut threads.
