What is GHB?

GHB  is a depressant which has an intoxicating effect. It is naturally found in small quantities in meat, wine and some citrus fruits. GHB is colourless and odourless.

People selling GHB often claim that it has weight loss effects and promotes body building, but there is no clinical data to back these claims. GHB has often been used at parties but it is an addictive drug and people can develop a dependence on this.

GHB dependence

People using GHB develop dependence. This means that if they stop using GHB they will suffer withdrawal symptoms which are unpleasant and can include sweating, anxiety, hypertension, and an increased heart rate. Like other withdrawal symptoms these will last for a few days and may need medical attention in a detoxification (detox) centre.

GHB withdrawal can have a second, delayed, phase of withdrawal which is characterized by mental clouding, anxiety, and paranoia. This will last another 2-4 days and should be assessed by a doctor.

GHB withdrawal can be life threatening and admission to an inpatient detoxification (detox) centre is highly recommended.
