Im gonna somewhat disagree with this.........Having been through both far too many times I will say that, for me, they are equally hellish. Benzo withdrawal does take alot longer to get over but GBL can be much more severe at the heighth of it. I would compare serious 24/7 GBL for months to, say, a real short half life benzo like alprazolam............INCREDIBLY intense, quick, and short. Ive hallucinated alot more during GBL withdrawal than with benzos and also had much higher B.P. and pulse. but the recovery is quicker. I recently went through 100mg a day diazepam withdrawal.....I tapered far too fast, but even at the peak it was no where near as severe as GBL withdrawal. But, it took over 6 months to even BEGIN to be able to relax upon waking or before laying down for the night.
They both suck. Avoid em
now im getting tastes of high dose pregabalin withdrawal. It too blows, in a brand new and exciting way. Ohhh lordy!
