GHB detox

[Maxie]

How does someone deal with withdrawal and get off this drug?

"GHB is addictive, and withdrawals are LIFE THREATENING! For so long the info was that this isn't an addictive drug and no big deal. Now it is readily apparent that it is highly addictive and, worse yet, getting off of it is tougher than many other drugs."

"Physicians hoping to detox GHB abusers are in for a challenge, according to Karen Miotto, a specialist in addiction medicine at the University of California."

STart with contacting the centre for addiction in tornto or narcotics anonymous. Places like these probably have resources or can point one in the right direction.

Besides, most members of terb are probably addicts of one kind or another (most likely sex).

GHB can be detoxed successfully. But, it does need to be done in a rehab centre.

The person will need medical supervision during the detox and it cannot be done at home like alcohol. It's a porlonged process that requires professional help that is available free in Ontario.

PM me if you would like more info on options here in Toronto.

My friend went to detox here in Toronto the other day, they couldn't do much because they didn't know her medical history.

GHB addiction is brutal the body literally needs the drug to avoid withdrawal symptons like convulsions and to stay a alive. From what I hear she will die if she doesn't keep taking the drug every three hours. She is a sex trade worker.

Is GHB the "date rape" drug? The one a guy sticks in a girl's drink?

Excuse my bluntness ........but why in the hell woiuld a sex worker want to be taking GHB ?..this makes no sense

sex workers are smart enough to avoid such things to avoid any TRAUMA

such as a client making them a drink .........or walking away from there drink
which are two big No Nos sex workers dont do

Always bring your own drink and watch it all times nomatter who they are !

Is it that addicting even if someone gave it to you once ?

unless this gal was suicidal then it would make sense or has a serious drug addiction prob

"GHB has even been dubbed "liquid ecstasy." Effects: Intoxication, increased energy, happiness, talking, desire to socialize, feeling affectionate and playful, mild disinhibition, sensuality, enhanced sexual experience, muscle relaxation"

GHB is used more as a recreational drug. The media portrays it as it has been used for rape.

Many sex trade workers like others in society unfortunately have a tendancy towards substance abuse. For them drugs can become addictive almost immediately.

its considered a date rape drug because the malicious intent of most guys giving it was to do just that .according to several news articles

then they wake up completely violated or some dont wake up at all

Thanks. Any other information is appreciated.

Agreed, nightclub owners have seen an increased incidence of date rape since the drug came onto the scene. While predators can slip it into the drinks of women who have never used the drug, I believe many if not most of the rapes happen to women unwittingly who take the drug recreationally or are addicted. It's easy to pass out or overdose on this drug.

People tend to assume this drug is used for rape and addiction isn't a problem.


GHB withdrawal is hell. You become partially blind while hallucinating, feeling sharp pains around your body and so itchy you scratch till your skin is red and scabbed.

thanks for this info ....cause i personally did not know this drug was so addicting and it could educate someone who is thinking about it ...and by reading some of the articles its quite alarming and disturbing how intense this detox is that you mention .Thats very kind of you to help her out

 

[Maxie]

There's only so much that can be done to help a person who is not well with an addiction. I think at the end of the day it's the power of ones mind to cope with the problem.

 

[Alexis696969]

agrees .........nobody can change anyone or cure them until they do it themselve

but the unconditional support just might make a difference

 

[fuji]

Considering what's been on this thread, your "unconditional support" should involve unconditionally trying to get this person into detox. If they won't go, there is nothing you can do for them. Expect your friend not to live a long life in that case and be prepared for the worst.

She has gone to detox and will be heading back once they communicate with her doctor about her medical history. You would think her doctor would be on call or records computerized. The hospital new she was leaving to get some "G" because her body was withdrawing. She'll be back once they communicate with her doctor about a drug that may counter the effect.

I have made myself available to help her in anyway possible. I will be there if she needs me but she tends to withdraw on her own.

WOW!!! I didnt know GHB had this serious of a withdrawal problem attached to it.

Gonna scratch off this drug on my to do list

 

[frankcastle]

Never understood how some drugs become party drugs. E makes me happy and want to dance. Things like GHB and K seem to make you want to pass out.

GHB gives you a super energy rush. If you mellow out, you mellow out. If you get active, you get more active. It does what you want it to do, up to a certain point. Also, GHB is huge in the bodybuilding world. Afterall it is a growth hormone.
All it takes is a drop in a litre of water, drink before working out and you'll blast your parts into oblivion. The recuperation time for your muscles decreases. Pretty much overnight, your muscles will be healed and ready for more pumping. My buddy used to do this. I saw him before he took it and when I met him after he took it, 3 months difference, it was like looking at Dr. Banner turning into the Hulk. It was insane.
If you ever go to a rave, the guys who are very muscular and have their shirts off are almost always on G. It's a scary drug as you can see from the withdrawal symptoms. I'm not sure if Methadone would even help these people.

Now Special K, I have no fucking clue who would want to do that. Cat tranquilizer is not my idea of a good time. My other friend used to do this quite often. They'd go into the "k hole" and be fucked for hours on end. I never understood it. I myself preferred the E experience but then I got bored with that too. The trip was awesome but the come down was horrible. I decided the negatives far outweighed the positive and stopped doing it.

In any case, drugs are bad. I've done enough in my life to know that they are not good for you. Stick to smoking weed and drinking booze. At least those are easily controlled.

Cheers.

I'm not sure if Methadone would even help these people.

My friend whose addicted to Ghb said she would rather be addicted to Heroin because then she could at least take methadone to wean herself off. There is a drug called razepam or something that can be of some use to counteract G.

I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)

Id like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills "Ah, peace throughout the land"

(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
In perfect harmony

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony

Id like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
