So, I think I may be addicted to GHB.

I take it every day, usually at about 1pm in the afternoon, and will bump until about 8pm. I always stop a few hours before bed so I can sleep.

But lately, I have really bad insomnia. I've never taken GHB to sleep, but I would think that this is the cause.

I actually don't mind if I am addicted. I feel good on it, there are few bad side effects, and it's so much more effective that the zoloft I am taking for anxiety.

But how can I sleep, without beginning to take GHB for it?

Any advice would be welcome.

Thank you
 
But I'd have to do it 24/7 to get an addiction, right? Narcoleptics use 9g per night for sleep indefinitely and dependence is not actually an issue.

Is this actually a psychological issue?
 
grab a small amount of neurontin or even phenibut..use it for 3-4 days and then get off..it will help you fall right to sleep and both of these drugs will knock 95% of ghb withdrawals out..
 
stop while you can! it has probably fucked with your natural sleep/waking cycle so that said you should really quit while you are ahead. and bottom line, you do not want to continue with this because by fucking with gaba you are playing with really hot fire. best thing to do is discontinue all use, try and sleep, exercise and sex and food and pot should help get to sleep. So, instead of consuming more GHB that is having negative side effects, buy 7.5-60grams of cannabis and make cannabutter and eat it in 2-3 gram doses and you will sleep. mix 30gram with 1lb of butter in a crock pot with some water, boil (do not burn) and stir for 6-18 hours (i advise 12+), after cooked the butter use some cheesecloth to strain the solution into a container, you will be left with the plant matter (throw it out, it is useless if you did things right and boiled long enough) in the cloth and a solution in a container, put that container in the fridge over night then in the morning there will be a solid piece of cannabutter on top, you want to strain the water from this, it is really easy the piece should be solid and big enough that the water doesnt take it but be very careful, and at this point after removing the water put all the butter into a pan and melt then sift again into a container for storage. at this point you will have 30 cannabis grams of cannabutter, which means you can make 15 2 gram cookies, or 30 1 gram and eat three (i advise this eat one every 20 mins for the hour 2 hrs before you will be in your bed. anyway i hope the healing herb can lend a hand and pull you out of this gaba hell, because it sure has worked for me with benzos and musclerelaxers.

Excercise?

By the way, you do not want a GHB addiction, because at some point it will lead to crippling anxiety.

Yep. And withdrawals with something similar to delirium tremens.

DO NOT USE PHENIBUT. Phenibut shares many many properties with GHB and you might end up just replacing one problem for another. Gabapentin will help with sleep with few problems though.

If you find yourself going through nasty withdrawals, keep in mind that GHB withdrawal is a potentially life threatening condition. If this is the case, go to the doc or the ER or something. It might seem like a bad plan but if DT and death are your other options............
 
GHB is a dopamine receptor inhibitor (or something like that), which generates an accumulation of unused dopamine during its effect, which is then reversed at the end, providing wakefulness and concentration somewhat reminiscent of a low dose of speed or cocaine. For this reason, taking it in the PM and stopping at bedtime is a recipe for disaster.

However, I have taken 10g a night for 10 months straight and reported no sign of addiction at all. This was years ago and it cured my depression, for which I am very thankful.
 
I am looking at buying some Gabapentin, but does anyone know what dose I need? The internet isnt being very helpful.
 
Also, I have been told you should never just stop cold-turkey, that you should taper until you have something alternative to use (gabapentin, for example) or taper until completion.
 
yes start tapering right now and stop as soon as possible. ghb addiction is just horrible belive me. it scars your mind

It was a recognized cure in many European countries until the late 90s, when all the research articles detailing how beneficial and harmless a molecule it is were erased from the US NLM (National Library of Medicine). It was also heavily used as an anti-addiction medicine worldwide.

I stopped cold turkey, felt nothing of course. I didn't think it was even possible to get addicted to it? Maybe people get addicted to the impurities?
