Addiction
There is a lot of evidence that regular consumption of GHB can result in physical dependence. Most individuals develop this dependence after using the chemical regularly for 3-5 weeks. Once GHB is discontinued the withdrawal symptoms include the following:
- insomnia
- anxiety
- tremors
- sweating
- no appetite
- fast heart rate
- general fatigue
- muscle and joint pain
- extreme sensitivity to the environment
- confusion
If nothing is done, the withdrawal symptoms decrease in 3-21 days but do depend on the dose and frequency of GHB usage. Some cases of GHB withdrawal can be similar to reactions seen after withdrawal from alcohol. Convulsions and hallucinations can occur and often require emergency treatment.
