Withdrawal symptoms can include anxiety, tremors, inability to sleep and other unpleasant, potentially dangerous effects, including paranoia with hallucinations and high blood pressure. People who are physically dependent on GHB should seek medical help to ease withdrawal. GHB withdrawal can be life threatening.
Since GHB is illegal, there are no controls over the strength and purity of the drugs produced. Deaths have been reported.
When GHB is taken with alcohol or other drugs, the effects are more intense, and the risk of toxic effects and overdose increases. GHB-related deaths usually involve other drugs, such as alcohol. GHB is a potent sedative, causing users to lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep from which they might not wake for several hours. When in a GHB sleep, people may have trouble breathing and convulsions can occur. Users sometimes wake to discover that alarmed friends or family have rushed them to hospital for emergency care.
Driving after taking GHB is extremely dangerous because sleep may come on suddenly. Driving or operating machinery while under the influence of GHB, or any drug, increases the risk of physical injury to the user and to others.
Overdosing on GHB can lead to profound coma, which may be neurotoxic to the brain, especially to the developing brain of a young adult. However, more research is needed.

This step is optional, some like it like that and others prefer to heat the solution a little. Start heating it slowly. You will see it starting boiling. It can burn. Do it for one hour. When you will add water, it will dissolve. Measure the PH. To store it I use a mason glass jar with a plastic cover. I draw the poison logo on it very important!
Clean dry beakers and graduated cylinders, a set of chemical scales, narrow range pH strips for 5. Example: You want to react mls of GBL. Example: If the reaction is not occuring, then you either have not heated the GBL to C or you have defective reactants throw them out and get fresh stuff.
Once the solution begins boiling, you can turn the heat off — the reaction will make its own heat. When the range begins to get to 7. This mixture will still have unreacted lactone in it — so now it is time to do some steam distillation.
Steam Distillation The purification step 10 Put a thermometer in the solution capable of measuring C and crank the heat up on the solution.
Hold it at that temperature until all bubbling stops. The beaker now contains melted NaGHB. So add enough boiling water to bring the entire solution up to mls. Return the melt to the low heat to keep it melted. Scrape them up with a metal spatula and put them into a sealed tupperware container.
Pour out more strips and repeat the procedure until you have used up all of the melt. This will break up the strips. You may have to shake the blender around a bit to make sure everything is ground into powder. Pour the powder into a sealed tupperware container. Safety : Wear gloves and safety glasses at all times.
If any of the reagents or intermediates contacts the skin, wash well with cold water. For step 3, use electric oven only. In a gas oven, the pilot light may ignite alcohol fumes, causing fire hazard. These quantities are not fixed — use more or less as needed, but keep the proportions the same.
The patient had recently purchased "Hurricane" as a sleep aid and to treat his panic attacks. It is an organic product with active ingredients similar to ink jet cleaner, the key ingredient being 1,4butanediol, which is metabolized to GHB. Wait at least 3 hours before taking a second dose. Due to the variable street quality of the drug and chemical differences between GHB and GBL, be cautious not to mix different types of G. If the drug comes from various sources, less frequent dosing is necessary to avoid accidental overdose.
Because G can affect your memory, always record the time you have taken the dose and keep it in a visible place. Take G orally. Do not snort or inject. Avoid mixing G with alcohol or other depressant drugs. Store G safely, out of reach of children and other adults. Going under — what to do: If you see someone going under or collapsing while on G: Place them in the recovery position to prevent them from choking.
Call an ambulance. Dial Stay with the person until the ambulance arrives. Tell the medics what the person may have taken. Be truthful.
