Through the rabbit hole!
Good evening all you intelligent BLers, I posted this thread over in the AdvDD forum but have not had an answer to it yet and I posted it yesterday so I thought I would post it in my home forum because people seem to answer a lot quicker over here.... I wasn't 100% sure as to where this would be best suited due to the sleep disorder associated with the young lady as well.

OK so here is my little question that could be turned into a large discussion. One of my good friends girlfriends suffers from a sleep disorder called narcolepsy, Narcolepsy Definition, which causes her to just pass out and fall asleep. She is prescribed dexamphetamines to prevent this from happening when she doesn't wish it to, she does not take the dexamphetamine all the time, only when she feels she needs them...

Anyways a lot of her friends including myself have all been using a fair bit of GBL in the past and she has always been interested in trying it, because of the effects others and myself describe from ingesting it. I have never let her taken any before because I was aware of her sleep disorder and was not sure whether GBL would effect her in a way that would pretty much just knock her out and she would not be coming back or something along those lines.

What I would really like to pick everybody's brains about is, would it be alright to give her some GBL to try or is that just writing off her death certificate for her? I've been considering giving her some lately but starting at tiny doses from 0.20mL and working my way up every 1.5 hours e.g. 0.30mL then 0.40mL then 0.50mL etc.

I told her to go to her local GP and speak with him about the effects of what it might have and what not but she wasn't to happy speaking to a Doctor about that which I can understand. So I told her I would start a thread on here because I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people that might be able to give some very helpful feedback.

Her Body Description in case needed is:

Age: 19 years old
Height: 177cm
Weight: Apx 70kg
Sex: Female
Build: Medium/Slim

She has used plenty of other illicit chemicals in the past such as; MDMA, LSD, Methylamphetamine, Marijuana, Shrooms, Cocaine and DMT. I think that's pretty much them all.

Thank you in advance for any advice given. She is really eager to try some but I told her it is never going to happen until we are certain that you will be fine on it. I have told her how dangerous of a drug it is and explained all the fine details about it.

Oh I am very well experienced with GBL and GHB as well and always work out the doses for friends so that they don't blow out.

Interesting question... I'd dare say she would be more liable to fall asleep then others, but as long as she is not using a dose that is causing problems with CNS depression I'd say she would be fine.

I would also not want to, as you put it, 'sign her death certificate', so make sure she doesn't consume any other CNS depressant substances at the same time of course, in fact probably just the GBL and nothing else.
 
Thank you for the response Mr Blonde, you replied faster then the usual AdvDD users haha. Clearly the more intelligent people come from the AusDD!

I might tell her to try 0.5mL to start off with but make sure she has had her dexamphetamine medication that day to help prevent her from falling asleep. I'll also make sure she doesn't smoke any marijuana because she is a bit of a stoner...

She does not use any type of CNS depressants so there is nothing to worry about with them. :)
 
Does she drink alcohol? I imagine she'd react in much the same way, so if alcohol interacts with her disorder, she'd probably be best off avoiding G.

On that note, she could probably ask her doctor if she's ok to drink booze, since there's none of the stigma around it.
 
Also cataplexy, in the states.
And it doesnt "fix" everyone. GHB can still lead to addiction they advise on two doses a night. check out zyrem.com
 
GHB (Sodium Oxybate) AKA Xyrem is not available for prescription in Australia. take a quick google of Xyrem.

I don't suggest ANYONE manage their issues with extremely GABAergic substances like GBL (especially as hepatoxic as GBL/1,4-B).

If you do intend to go down this path, i might suggest substances like Phenibut which are legal, provide similar pharmacological profiles. Even still, I wouldn't recommend it. Tolerance builds fast and soon enough the band-aid you had is little more than your new addiction.

Yes, she drinks a lot of alcohol each weekend. She would probably go through a 700mL of spirits in one night sometimes two but she usually only drinks on the weekends that's it.

I'm not sure if she takes her meds when she does though but I recall a few years ago her just passing out in the middle of a sentence because she hadn't taken her meds.

I'll try and get her to read all of your comments one day and get her opinion, I think she will be alright on GBL though if she just starts on a small dose.

Thank you everyone for your comments!
