Date: April 19, 2001 CommentsI almost lost my 17 ear old son last weekend to GHB. Someone told him to try it and 15 minutes later he was in a coma outside the club. The hospital rang me to tell me that they weren't sure if he was going to survive so all we could do was sit and wait. At 5am they decided to do a brain scan as they thought he had brain damage, fortunately the scan showed everything was normal. At 9am he eventually came out of the coma I feel that we were so lucky to have a second chance at life. Seeing him lay there not knowing if I was ever going to be able to talk to him or touch him again was the most frightening experience I have ever had. I feel for those families who did not get that second chance. If only we could make people understand just how dangerous this drug is.
City, State: Melbourne, Australia CommentsThanks for explaining the nitty-gritty of this drug. Unfortunately I read this all to late as my best friend over dosed on it not long ago. She is okay now but what she put me through I will never forgive her for, especially as I warned her before hand, but she backed her self up with the rumours which are all proven false on this site. I just hope this gets to more people before they two make the same mistake as my best friend.
City, State: Wellington, New Zealand CommentsMy cousin died last year. He committed suicide by putting a heater in the bath with him. I knew he was a regular GHB user and like so many of the other stories here he had done all his research and found GHB to be the new "wonder drug". He gave me the same dose that he usually took to try and it made me vomit and and feel extremely odd and sick and I have never had it again. This was the dose I know he took at least every day when relaxing at home and more when he was going out. He thought he was the healthiest he had ever been and when faced with going somewhere that he could not get GHB he imported all the ingredients to make it himself. He started taking it in hiding just as any addict does and he thought his friends didn't notice. We did notice but he was so convincing that it was a safe drug and he had done all the research that none of us realized the extent of his addiction until it was to late. What happened before he killed himself is not clear but the end result is. The autopsy found no traces of any drugs in his body which is consistent with GHB. They have listed it as accidental death. I know that he was a victim of this drug and that the confusion, agitation and anxiety were a direct result of GHB. Before all of this he was a extremely intelligent, loved guy. He had a brilliant sense of humour and was a very talented sportsman. This drug is a killer not only does it destroy the lives of the people who take it but it destroys the lives of their family and friends.
City, State: Weert, the Netherlands CommentsHello, I used GHB almost 2 years ago. Still I have trouble concentrating when doing my homework. I went to the hospital were I got an EEG-scan and a MRI-scan. They told me there wasn’t a problem and my brain is still intact. But why do I still have these problems with concentrating? I haven’t used drugs since but this feeling wouldn’t disappear…. That’s why I’m writing this e-mail. Are there other people who still have trouble concentrating, especially after such a long time. The night that I took GHB I also drank beer, I think about 15 or 16. The same night I passed out and was gone for an hour. I’m still really afraid that I damaged something. So if anyone has the same experience as me I would really want to hear it.
City, State: Toronto, Canada CommentsHello to all those people thinking about trying GHB or any of its derivatives (analog substances). I will be as brief as possible. Firstly I am a 25 year old male who tried out GHB for the first time when I was twenty years old. I had a 250 ml bottle to start with and I followed the directions ,making sure doses were not to big and alcohol was avoided . I wasn't particularly fond of it's effects initially and felt highly suspicious of it's advertised uses , especially the over-glorified aspects regarding body-building and youth rejuvenation. Anyhow I was tired of it's buzz and did not try it out again till I was 23 . By then it was a fluke that I'd even bothered because I had not purchased any after that initial bottle. I had discovered a friend had left behind a bottle of it at my house some time ago and maybe a couple of doses were still left. I took the doses that remained in one fell swoop. The problem was that I had consumed a lot of alcohol prior to taking the doses of GHB . YES I KNOW it clearly warned me against doing so but I had taken that chance before (years earlier ,but had not nearly as much alcohol) . However I did have a good friend (not the whose bottle it was) over at my place ,who had provided the alcohol. He had no knowledge that I took any GHB (greed factor), and was amazed at how wrecked I became soooo quickly. I couldn't get up or function, I was dropping and breaking glasses and tables...lamps...At any rate I was a certified disaster area. My friend was not exactly comfortable in this situation and left me to ride out my buzz. That's when I blacked out and couldn't remember what else happened until at least 14 hors later , by the grace of GOD I unlike some very unfortunate souls, managed to wake up out of my GHB induced coma to discover to my shock, horror and dismay , was that I was completely naked (how did that happen , to this day I'll never KNOW ,and I probably don't want to know anyways) This isn't the end of the story, although it should be. I not only was buck naked , but I had at some point defecated (sh*t) on the couch that I was passed out on. Had I not been so paralyzed it would have been smeared all over the leather sofa and me, which it wasn't. However at the time I was grateful that my family had not discovered me in this sad state , with no regard to how lucky I really was to have survived the ordeal. I realized how lucky I was after giving it some thought years later , now that I am 25 and was considering going the GHB road one more time. After locating several web sites I was astonished to discover the amount of negative information about it in stark contrast to all the positive info. At any rate I will not consider using GHB for recreational or any other purposes, It is a cheap drug that requires extensive research and development, of which I will not be a volunteer guinea pig or lab rat!!! However for Narcoleptics.... it is another story which I sympathize for their plight...PLEASE CONSIDER WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO YOURSELF IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING INGESTING GHB!!! I am lucky to be alive and well....DON'T BE ANOTHER GHB STATISTIC.
Name: Carol Granger CommentsAlthough I came to this website just browsing, I also became interested in it because of it's increased appearance in nearby areas. I do volunteer work with a rape crisis center, and am already familiar with some of the typical "date rape" drugs, mostly Rohypnol and GHB. I commend you on your informative website.
