Gbl- im i in for hell?

[crazym]

Hey. My first post on the board.

Im been taking gbl on/off for the last month or so. I have never dosed 24/7, but have used around 25 days out of 35-40 days.

When i take i very rarely take more then 10 ml in a setting, but mostly it's only around 5 ml. I have never used it to sleep.
After reading about all the horror stories about withdrawel, im maybe working myself up, but hey rather be safe then sorry.

It have been 24 hours since last dose, only 2,3 ml, just to take my hangovers from the weekend. The only thing i have experienced is a bit sweating, and a little shaking on my hands, but that could maybe be from my drinking friday to sunday morning. The one thing that makes me nervoues is the delerium thing, i really wouldnt like to go spontanius mad, since im starting new school. So what do you think? Since i never dosed 24/7 and always took a day(days) pause between dosing. Maybe im just working my self up about it.

Thanks.

You'll most likely be fine, I was nearly 24 hour dosing for 3 weeks until recently and did not experience anything more than psychological cravings and about 2-3 hours of anxiety after my last dose wore off.

My advice is to avoid GABAergics unless your withdrawals become too intense to function normally. Honestly alcohol gives me much worse and noticeable withdrawals in a shorter amount of time than GHB/GBL.

I hope that helps. Get better and maybe dose a little more conservatively!

Thanks a lot! Really needed to hear that!

And i agree, alcohol is much worse in the shorter time.

crazym, I don't have any experience with GHB/GBL but I am an alcoholic so I have experience with those kind of withdrawals. As an aside note, how much were you drinking over the weekend and how often do you binge-drink? The shakes and sweats could have more to do with the binge-drinking Fri-Sun.

Anyway, hopefully you're not in for too much pain. Keep your fluids up, eat healthy food (lots of fresh fruit and vegies and lean meat), and make sure you get enough sleep. And as Renz suggested, I would also like to suggest that when taking GBL in the future please consider smaller doses. Take care, and let us know how you're doing okay?

Chances are you won't get delirium or anything like that. You might be a bit agitated and anxious for the next couple of days, and might feel off for a bit after that.

Something that I always would do when I was doing G was to keep half of the last bottle for a taper. Just in case. Oh, and it really isn't a great idea to drink GBL-- it puts a fair bit of strain on the liver. The conversion to GHB is dead easy to do, and your body will thank you. We can't discuss synthesis on Bluelight, but google is your friend.

You shouldn't be in any serious danger from your dosing pattern. You may have a slight dependency, but I'd be extremely shocked if you felt anything more than a little rebound anxiety and irritation. Just force yourself to resist the cravings and you'll be A-OK. Like n30phy7e said, sleep well and eat healthy and give your body that needed time to get back to equilibrium. Avoid alcohol for a week or two to let your GABA system recover fully. It's highly, highly likely that you won't feel any sort of delirium or intense, overwhelming withdrawal symptoms, even with your high-ish dose.

Best of luck to you, mate. Take it easy, eat healthy, sleep right, and avoid alcohol for a week or two and you should be back to normal. I hope we've helped!
