Heres the deal.
I have been using GBL pretty regularly over the past year and a half. Normally I would use it on the weekends and basically for an entire weekend at a time. I would take workdays off and have never suffered from any WD symptoms after only using it for at weekend. Even after using it for 10 days straight at festivals would I have no WD symptoms afterwards.
Then, sometime during April this year, I had a traumatic personal experience that stupidly led me to spending 4 days straight dosing every 2-3 hours and going to sleep after every dose. (I was so depressed and traumatized that i basically just wanted to sleep constantly).
After those days I started having trouble sleeping even if I would only use G occasionally. Me being a fool then embarked on a summer of festivals, where I dosed alot. I didnt do it round the clock daily, but close. I had a day off here and there but definately drank too much for a period of 3 weeks.
I would like to add that even though i have definately been doing it too much and too often during the summer, I have never had any other WD symptoms than insomnia.
So gettin a bit embarrased about realizing how much G I had been doin over the summer, naturally I wanted to take a good break from it altogether and figured that my insomnia would disappear after a few weeks. But I havent touched G for more than a month now and it is still virtually impossible for me to sleep at night. On nights where i dont take either Xanax or Zopiclone, I am lucky to get any more than an hours sleep.
Have i somehow destroyed my GABA system completely or am I simply just taking longer time to recover from insomnia than most G users?
Any valuable insight would be greatly appreciated, as I am starting to get a little nervous for my ability to sleep long term!
Regards
