Using GHB/GBL regularly can lead to tolerance and dependence — meaning your body starts to rely on it to function normally. Stopping suddenly can cause intense and even dangerous withdrawal symptoms.

Signs of Dependence:

  • Needing more for the same effects
  • Using even when it causes problems
  • Struggling to stop or cut back
  • Withdrawing from social life, work, or relationships

GHB/GBL Withdrawal

One of the unique features of G withdrawal is how quickly symptoms can start — sometimes within just 30 minutes to a few hours after the last dose.

Early Symptoms (first 12 hours):

  • Insomnia, tremors, confusion
  • Nausea, vomiting, anxiety

12–48 Hours Later:

  • Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Agitation, sweating
  • Seizures, hallucinations, or muscle jerks (myoclonus)

Duration:

  • Withdrawal can last up to 2 weeks, sometimes longer
  • Symptoms may not respond well to benzodiazepines
  • Can resemble alcohol, opioid, or stimulant toxicity — making medical evaluation crucial

Important:

If you’re dependent on GHB or GBL, do not stop suddenly without medical support.
Withdrawal can be dangerous and should be managed by healthcare professionals
