**Caution: Some comments may be disturbing to read, but we feel that to sugar-coat these comments would undermine the purpose of this site. Name: My whole community was once addicted, yes addicted to "G". I couldn't believe it. But finally I gave in and tried it. Passing out at anytime and waking up not knowing how you got there for two weeks straight isn't away of life. So many people I am close to have almost died. But it seems nobody learns. I guess its hard to admit your wrong. A CARING FRIEND
Name: Jessica To family and friends: I'm sorry about the tragedy of your family and friend. I read everything and it brought tears to my eyes. I am truly sorry. I'm sure he is in heaven watching down over all of you to make sure that the same mistake isn't made again. I don't know much about this drug, but I read some of the Viewer Comments. It
touched my heart to see so many people's lives taken by such a tragedy. I am
only 14, but I hope that because of this web site kids all around the world will
realize that there is help, and they need it. I hope that they will reach out
for anyone that will listen to them and save themselves.
Name: Tabatha I had never heard of this drug till today. I have sent this website to everyone I know. Thank you so much for having this website. I don't think that I know anyone who has used this drug but trust me I will inform as many people as I can about this bad bad drug !!!
Name: Anonymous I work in ICU and have seen three cases of GHB overdose. The first was a mother and daughter who bought it at a health food store and tried it while driving. They were brought to the hospital in critical condition. The daughter had to be intubated. The second was more recent, Spring Break 2000. A 21yr old visiting from GA was rushed to the ER from a nightclub with cardiac arrest. It appeared that he had suffered a major heart attack, but was later found that he had ingested GHB in the form of a sports drink. He didn't know the effects. He was in the unit unresponsive on a ventilator for a few weeks before being sent back to GA. I hope awareness of this drug spreads quickly before more people are harmed. It's not a pretty sight when they end up in the unit.
Name: Anonymous No one ever expects to receive that dreadful phone call "Your brother's
been in an accident, he's in the emergency room, he's overdosed on GHB." I
gathered enough courage to call the hospital & broke down crying, unable to
speak as I asked what had happened and then the news.... He's in stable
condition. He was given a second chance, lucky him, lucky us. I had heard of GHB
before and I knew what it did to you. To hear of all the deaths caused by this
drug, I realize that my family is very lucky. See, my brother had seizures and
ultimately stopped breathing. His friends called the paramedics and he wasn't
too far from the hospital. All these factors helped save his life. Even after
recovering from this episode, he could have had permanent brain damage, or
damage to his nervous system. He's healthy and recovering from the whole ordeal.
I, on the other hand, will take longer to recover from the sight of my brother,
pale & swollen, with tubes up his nose and all kinds of i.v's and monitors
hooked up to him. And the realization that he came so close to death.
Name: Devon I was researching on the web for my chemistry project, which is on GHB, and I found this page and I spent the rest of the day on here reading about the drug. I never knew just how bad it was until I found myself crying and realizing that my friends were doing this drug and practically killing themselves. This page has helped me a lot and I am looking forward to presenting this project to my class I hope it moves them as much as it did me because they have a lot to learn. Don't we all.
Name: Cindy I am glad someone has a website about this terrible drug. I had never heard of GHB until last weekend when my friend's 22-year-old son was taken to the hospital after going to a party with his "friends". They were drinking and someone brought "blue nitro" to the party and he drank 2 capfuls of it. His friends thought he was asleep because he was snoring. The next day when they checked on him, he still lay there on the floor. He never woke up. The doctors said there was nothing they could do. Josh was only 22 years old and with so much life yet to live. He had a wife and a 9-month-old son. It is up to everyone whose lives have been touched by this horrible drug to warn these young people about the dangers. I will continue to pray for Josh's family and for all the other families whose lives have been shattered by this drug.
Name: Anonymous Hi I just finished writing a paper on G. I have friends who have taken it before and I have even tried it a couple of times. It was fun at the time but the risks are just too high. I was out with a friend one night and she took some G from some guy we both knew there. About an hour later when I was ready to go I couldn't find her. It turns out this guy had other plans in mind for my friend. I found them in his car and he was about to take her to his house. She was completely passed out and had no idea what was going on. If I had not gotten there on time, I don't know what would have happened to her. I just wanted to tell people that life is too short to take a risk like drinking G. Please be careful!!!!!! Don't throw your life away for so little.
Name: anonymous I haven't tried GHB, but I have used ecstasy quite a few times. I love to party and go to raves. I haven't used X in 2 months and I'm trying to stay clean from it. I've heard about GHB but I've never seen it around here. I'm really glad I found this site because there is a lot of confusion about ghb for my friends and I. I really hope they find a way to lower the use of all party drugs. I thought it was fun and harmless until I read up on all of it tonight. I didn't realize how bad all of this was; it's not worth permanent damage or even death.
Name: M.A. Wojciehowski I have a good friend and co-worker who almost died 2 weeks ago because of a combination of "GHB and ecstasy" that was put into her drink by people at a party that she attended. The party was at a private residence not a "rave." No one is safe! What can we do??
Name: Undisclosed I am writing this with a just received copy of my brother's autopsy report. I always had a gut instinct that his death was from something other than just dying in his sleep. I knew one of his friends consumed GHB on regular basis and this guy was with him the night/morning it happened. You see, me and my family were in the dark on everything that took place on that awful night. I was states away and my parents just a few miles. My brother with people that were thought to be his best friends took GHB from a friend to supposedly just to "go to sleep". I really don't know anything much further because everyone that was with him has lied to shelter themselves and as of today, we finally have confirmation that there is so much more that happened that night than anyone is telling. Why? I don't know. It is sickening. I guess my message aside from GHB being completely horrendous and fatal is that if you know of someone using the drug, tell someone. If you see someone who you think might be messed up on the drug, help them. If you know of someone using the drug, tell them they are stupid and just how fatal and how many lives it affects aside from their own. If you ever feel uncomfortable or start feeling strange either because you knowingly took GHB or think someone drugged you, immediately let it be known. I know these things are easier said than done, but really it is time to stop being so blinded by this drug. Awareness is the key and knowing what to do about it is what is going to stop taking the lives of our loved ones. And for God's Sake never, ever leave anyone alone that you know or suspect has used this substance. I believe that is what happened to my brother and from reading about other situations, it is what happened others. Don't let this happen to you, your family or loved ones. Believe me, it is real and it is here and it is dangerous.
Name: Anonymous I have colitis and have been taking liquid supplements because it hurts a lot to eat. I switched supplements last week. I bought a bottle from a friend who had ordered a case of Revitalize Plus off of the internet. I took a capful a day for three days. The fourth day, I didn't measure it, I just poured some into a bottle of juice and went to work. I told my boss I was on medication and I was feeling strange, never for one minute thinking it might be the supplement I was drinking with my juice. About an hour and a half later I passed out and hit my head. I woke up, thinking I was fine but the other employees saw I was starting to act pretty strange and completely out of control. My boss called 911 and an ambulance and fire trucks and cops showed up. They thought I was taking street drugs. The cop ordered me into the ambulance even though I absolutely did not want to go, I was sure I was fine and I felt humiliated. I got into the ambulance and lost consciousness. On the way to the hospital I stopped breathing and my blood pressure dropped to 70/24. I woke up later, completely paralyzed (they had given me a paralytic drug) with tubes into my lungs and my stomach. I thought I was dying. It was absolutely terrifying. I spent 2 days in Intensive Care. Revitalize Plus does not say anything on the label about GHB. They call it GABA. AND IT KILLS. I'm lucky to be writing this to you, now.
Name: Shawn Davis I was an avid GHB user, and the first time I went into a "G-HOLE" it scared me so bad I wont ever do it again. If you are using please use it in moderation, When something sends you to the emergency room and you think you are going to die...........I'll stop there and let you finish the sentence. Its not a game..It's your LIFE!! You decide, I almost died because of stupidity...Don't be next
Name: Anonymous I am absolutely amazed by the stories and accounts on this web site. I had no idea that this stuff was powerful enough to kill you. About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend brought home some Blue Nitro he bought from a kid @ work, and he had already tried it. He's done just about every drug out there, so I figured it was safe and he wouldn't let me do anything to endanger myself. I took 3 cap fulls and started feeling the dizzying effects almost immediately. He offered me a 3rd, and I accepted. Soon after the room started spinning wildly, and I ran to the bathroom to throw up. I woke up with him standing over me, and I was lying in the floor. I could not make my legs move, so he picked me up and took me to the bedroom. I began shaking and crying, and I couldn't even open my eyes- they were so heavy. I heard him calling my name, and it was like I was in a black space and his voice seemed to be fading away. I don't know how long I was out, but I woke up to find him sitting on top of me crying and shaking me, screaming my name. He kept saying, "please wake up- you're scaring me" I managed to roll over and pass out. I woke up 4 hours later and he had been sitting there watching me the entire time, scared to death. This is the closest I've come to understanding what a coma must feel like. The following night he left for work and took 3 capfuls of the [stuff] without letting me know. I went by his work when I got off, and it was obvious that he was messed up. I begged him to ride home with me, but instead he refused and ended up getting into an accident. A police man brought him home, b/c he was too "drunk" to walk. A normally passive, sweet man, he yelled at me, cussed at me, and smashed a 5 foot mirror into a million pieces with his fist. I saw that this stuff could instantly change a loving person into a madman. We have made a pact with each other never to touch this stuff again, and after reading all of these horror stories, I am so glad we did. Thank you for all of the information I've received from this web-site. I plan on telling all of my raver friends about how very serious and deadly this stuff really is.
Name: Anonymous I went to this club this weekend and afterwards went to an after party. This guy was giving out G and he sounded like he knew a lot about it and what he was doing. He said it would enhance our rolls...none of us had been drinking anything all night of anything. I had 2 capfuls and in like half an hour I couldn't walk or anything. I had no coordination whatsoever. I passed out for an hour or so pretty much after that. I felt a little sick but didn't puke or anything. I am so thankful nothing else happened and I am NEVER doing that again. I am sticking with E or alcohol from now on I know they are bad too but at least I won't OD on it
Name: 18 year old female college student I went to Spring Break in Florida with my friend, her boyfriend, and his cousin whom I was seeing at the time. We didn't feel like drinking one night, so "Bill" got some stuff out of the refrigerator in his uncle's house where we were staying. We were all watching a movie and I asked what he took. He told me some drug that you have to order over the Internet. I took the drug thinking it would be all right since his uncle was a respected doctor and he had it in the house. I am not a big drug user or drinker. I have only used one drug before, weed, and can probably count on my hands how many times I've used it. I liked how the drunk made me feel. I only took about two capfuls mixed with mountain dew and maybe drank a little more of my friends drink. I wanted to drink more but they wouldn't let me. I thought it was so cool. Then as we were going to bed I could barely walk up the stairs. I've never even been that drunk before to where this happens. Now that I think about it there is no telling what happened to me after I passed out. The guy I was with "Will" could have done anything and I wouldn't have known. Once I woke up I found "Will' on top of me and awake doing some stuff, but nothing really serious. I never thought of anything of it until now. I'm only 18 and a virgin, so I would not have known. Luckily I was on the rag so hopefully nothing happened. But, I guess I'll never know. It's really scary to find out that this is what I did. Like I said I'm only 18. I come from a very good family and go to a Christian college in the south where I play soccer and have a good life ahead of me with that and school. I try to be a good kid and always do what is right. Two of the people I was with have done some harder drugs and knew what was going on, I was totally oblivious. I'm writing this because I just found out the consequences of it. I was watching TV one day and heard it on the news. I couldn't not believe that I had done that before. That is when I decided to look it up. I'm very glad that I have found this site. I'm very lucky that nothing serious had happened to me. True, I did get a good nights sleep, but was it really worth it. I don't think so. I don't know if I'll never do it again, but I know that I will be much more careful and only do it around people I know. Not that that always matters. I think I was really lucky and I hope I never get slipped anything in my drink, because I am way to much of a trusting person. I've always led a very sheltered life and being away at college I've had to realize you can't trust everyone. Unfortunately, I've learned this the hard way. I especially hope that young girls will read my comments and listen. You are always a target. I'm begging you PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! |
