Misc Has this ever happened to you on ghb? (kinda scary)

[milfhunter]

Hey BL

I've been using ghb/gbl on and off for a couple of years now so I consider myself quite experienced.
However, there's something that has happened to me only a couple of times which I just can't grasp.

After a long night of using ghb and being on the verge of passing out, while walking home I sometimes pass out. Now, instead of falling to the ground, apparently I just keep walking while being unconscious.
Sometimes, I wake up only a few seconds later and I notice that I've walked a straight line of about 50m.
But at other times, I wake up not even knowing where I am, so I figure I must've walked quite a distance while being unconscious. Kinda scary, lol.

Has this ever happened to you?
Or can anyone explain what's going on?

Thanks!

Have never done ghb but often walked home from the pub full of piss with no recollection of the last few hrs or the journey home - and probably barely conscious

You've heard of blacking out? Well now you've experienced browning out

There is a reason many people use GHB/GBL for sleep induction. This effect, namely:

Same thing happens with G.

Yeah that's not passing out, that's blacking out, or as FD says "browning out" haha. Very common, surely you have experienced this on alcohol before (or at least know someone who has)? I heard in one of my intro psych classes that once you black out it's much more likely to happen again, and I can say from personal experience (with alcohol) that that is beyond true.

This is called "blacking out" and is pretty common with high doses of any GABAergic drug (alcohol, benzos, barbiturates, quinazolones, GHB).
It's a pretty good sign you should slow down your usage. In a blacked out state people can act rather erratically. Mostly, though, they're just overly suggestible. Just be really careful; if you black out you can get seriously hurt and not recall the circumstances of the incident.

I'd kinda half-lose consciousness on GBL when I was into redosing it (and getting a bit higher than I should) while walking, I'd end up walking off the sidewalk into planters, into firehydrants (ow!) and such. This not being attributable to ataxia.

Good times, good times.

I guess it's time to get a shotgun and prepare for the zombie appocallypse lol.
