> I already posted above that I used GHB throughout the day for depression and lack of energy. At first it was wonderful. Then the vomiting, falling asleep at the wheel, mania and an awful psychotic episode. Again I say, never use GHB throughout the day for depression. How many of these stories do you have to hear. I have read of plenty of others who have fallen into same terrible trap.

> AndrewBAfter a long all day binge, did you have the same side effects that I had - > elevated heart rate, extreme anxiety/paranoia/mania, aggression, extreme irritability, and phychosis? While intoxicated, did you ever have problems learning, converting things to memory, and concentrating? I'm interested to know if these are common side effects as I am still interested in how this chemical works on the brain and the dopamine system.
