GHB's Dopamine rebound - GOOD (kinda long)

I've been using GHB on and off for 3 years, never abused it too much, only in a recreational enviroment.
as of lately though, I've been using it less sporadically and got up to 1 or 2 uses every day. No signs of addiction yet
Anyway, I have started to notice the comedowns off every dose, and I get lethargic, edgy and somewhat nervous.
Judging by everything I've read on GHB, it prevents the release of dopamine during the peak effect, and releases it as it wears off. This should be a good thing (speed does, and makes you feel good, alert, smart, etc.), only it just makes me feel like shit and have a dull state of mind for a few hours.
Or does it?
Only today I realized about GHB's comedown speed-like potential: I was coming down and got home, to find it in a state of, as usual, complete chaos (it was a fucking mess alright). So I got pissed off (probably due to the comedown) and I started cleaning up.
While I was doing it, I realized I felt immensely focused on what I was doing, a bit like speed, only without the jitteriness. And moving from task to task was really easy.
Usually, I'm a very laid back (fucking lazy) kind of person, but in under 2 hours I had the whole house clean and got to do some things that I had been postponing since fuck knows when.
Somehow, I directed this comedown to get things done (speed also makes me a bit pissed off if I don't do something practical) and was amazed it worked so good.
The stimulating effect of the comedown was not apparent until I actually got off my ass and did something (definitely unlike speed).
So to all of you G heads out there, try it...it might work almost as good as speed for studying, and be a lot more healthy.
sorry for the long rambling... (no, I'm not on speed or G right now)

I've found G is too similar with alcohol in that it strongly affects my memory. So I'm not sure how well it could work for studying, etc.
 
Some Suggest to take flax-oil and or vitamine E to refill the spent acetyl-choline by the GHB (which is linked to short term memory). Also L-Dopa and arginine are dopamine intermediate building blocks that might be of use for G-heads.
Yup the the dopamine rebound CAN be nice, especially if you took several low-medium doses spread in one day, so you will have a nice rebound without the unwanted grogginess after taking too much caps at once...
 
The more you take and get used to the effects of GHB/1,4-b/GBL the better you can integrate the rebound in daily life. But don't let this fact justify increasing the dosage until you finally become an addict (doesnt sound like your far). With my 1,4-B experience, I found you can use this substance almost medicinally, but *drug* users often tend to let it get out of hand. 2x a day can turn into 5ml (roughly 5-6g GHB) every 2 hours.

Hmm.. you've been using for a long time and now it's starting to progress to a daily routine, occassionally more than once a day.
I'd say that's a sign.

A lot of people suggest a lot of stupid things. I don't understand why people are so concerned about their brains that they spend hundreds at GNC buying gay ass supplements that are only theorized to work instead of going on a diet, excercising and perhaps maybe just not taking drugs that fuck up your brains chemistry.
 
i agree.
1 to 2 doses a day isn't a sign of addiction, but could lead to one. i used to take much more than that and never really felt addiction. more like a need to take it if its around, but if it's not, fuck it. but yes there is a very speed-focused like comedown on it. i have definitely spent hours cleaning my house after doing g.....go figure.
welcome to the world of daily GHB use.
peace, outkast
