My friend stupidly enough found himself stuck in a 24/day GHB habit. I told him to get help on drugs-related forums, but he has no idea how this works. I told him to type me a message, and I would post it for him. Here is what he sent me (text is translated btw):

Quick timeline:
- used phenibut recreationally
- underestimated phenibut and abused it
- suffered from withdrawal
- to fight the withdrawals, used gbl
- got stuck in gbl addiction, switched to ghb

Right now I have used G for 1,5 months, of which 1 month 24/7. I use 8 doses of 8ml a day. Last week tried to stop cold turkey, but suffered from horrible withdrawals (sweats, shaking, heart almost exploded, anxiety, paranoia). Decided to get back on G after 8 hours. This has happened twice. I reached out to professional help but have to wait 2 weeks, possibly longer after the initial meeting. In the mean time, my addiction is getting worse. I want to try and quit this week, but have some questions:
- Should I taper or quit cold turkey with the help of some additional drugs maybe? (I have phenibut, but have a history of daily use in small dosages (~1,5g a day))
- Can I expect withdrawals to get any worse beyond 8 hours, or is that as worse as they get?
- Will the use of phenibut 3g a day help a lot in easing the withdrawals?
- Is going in withdrawal on my own too dangerous and should I wait for professional help, even if my 1 month addiction will be a 2-3 month addiction by the time I will receive treatment?

Any other tips or insights are welcome!

If you must stop before you can get real help and you cannot do it alone use the ER as a damn on call clinic. They can't turn you away and they won't let you die. It may cost a penny in bills but better that than 6ft deep somewhere. When I go through withdraw I fight long as I can then go to the ER and tell them I have a bad bad bad flu. They will give you an IV for fluids and treat symptoms as they arise. That said you know your body and life better than anyone so in the end it's all your call.
 
I know what you are going through. I stopped a couple years ago and believe it or not I miss it. Very addicting. You never feel the same after. I used to wake up every four hours, dose, fall asleep, dise, repeat. I lost my fiancé over the stuff and wrecked my whole life. It was insane. I also developed sleep apnea because I was taking it so much. What is Phenibut?
 
You won't be able to stop on your own. It's impossible. I tried EVERYTHING. The place I was buying from imformed one day that they were selling me my last bottle, i knew when I heard those words I was in big trouble. I tried to sip theater bottle but at about 4am I ran out. The last thing I remember was waking up in r looney bin 4 days later. I was missing my front tooth and was informed I punched a cop and gave him 16 stitches in his forehead. I was tazed twice but didn't even feel it. It was a big mess. I got out and swore that was it. When I was going through withdrawals, my heart would beat so fast I had to elevate my feet on the couch to get it to slow down. It worked but I could t break that position of it would speed up again. If I had to go to the bathroom, I had to run to the bathroom and relieve myself, then run back and elevate my feet to get my heart to slow down. Crazy huh? The I developed sleep apnea. I would fall asleep and my lungs would t breath on their own. I had to go to emergency but those dipshits at pretty much worthless when you don't have insurance. They could careless if you live or die. You have to go to emergency and force them to help you. I consider myself lucky that I didn't die. My pulse was racing at 200 bpm. It was horrible.
 
Once again don't stop on your own. It's very dangerous. I found out the hard way. You could have a heart attack. The GHB slows your heart down all the time so when you stop taking it your body doesn't know how to react anymore. If you are in Nor Cal I know of a doctor that specializes in helping people get off GHB. Let me know if that works for you.
