So i got this 250ml bottle of GBL and have been using it for about 3 weeks now. I use like 3 -5 times for 2 days and take a day or two off.

Im using this to stop using heroin (and fuck suboxone bc that shit doesnt work).

I have read lots of GBL and GHB threads and I still have no idea how long it takes to develop a physical addiction -- like one month or like one year.

And does having a little space between doses help keep physical dependence at bay?
 
first off, if you tapper correctly subs can help greatly. Why didn't they work for you? Ik not everything works for everyone but if u werent taking proper doses (going to high etc) then it may not work. as far as your question about ghb I have no idea hopefully someone else has more info to give :)
goodluck mate

edit: u may wanna check in psychedelic discussion

I have been prescribed subs since 2/2004 and pretty much took used h every week. when i moved to the east coast my addiction go so bad that a 24mg dose wasnt holding me. Id have to shoot opana or h on top. and now i can take sub and still shoot over it the same day. its lost its magic for me. i dont have a physical addiction to opiates, which is a miracle, but the psychological part is the worst...

gbl isnt a psychedelic so u mean other drugs or something?
 
best way to tell since you've been on for about 3 weeks is to go cold for a few days and see - GBL / GHB does not store in fat like benzos right ? It will be noticeable quickly. Good luck :).
 
Honsetly I am not familier with gbl but I have seen some ghb chat in psychedelic discussion.

Are you still using H?
 
no im not using h or suboxone or any opiate. but im on such a ridiculous cocktail of all other kinds of drugs that its seems stupid to be on all this shit instead of heroin.
 
Hard to say. I knew someone who took it for years but never had any physical withdrawals from it. Id say they were psychologically addicted though. Definitely their drug of choice. I got physically addicted in a bit under a month but i was taking doses that were higher. Really depends how you react to GABA drugs. My body doesn't tolerate alcohol, but this person was fine on it. I enjoyed that I could essentially "schedule" my sleep in four hour increments but c'est la vie...just wasn't for me

Your mileage may vary...only way to tell is to go cold turkey

Just be very careful with interactions with the drugs you are currently on.
Don't mix it with opiates or benzos. It could prove fatal and we have lost BLers to it
 
hey i do take a break every 3rd day. i used to not tolerate alcohol well (I lack alcohol dehydrogenase like a huge percentage of Asians and American Indians), but I didnt think that was related to GBL/GHB dependence and reactions.

Also, the other night last week I had just dose GBL and laid in bed and started to shake. I reingmember being like paralyzed and having lock jaw but trembling. I was praying that this was not like the seizures I used to have during my IV coke days. Do you think that tremor was related to GBL intake? (I think I had taken some heroin, xanax, wellbutrin, dextrostat, and alcohol within 24hrs before.)
