GHB Abuse Information

Over the last decade GHB use has skyrocketed in the United States. GHB has euphoric and sedative properties and is commonly used in sexual assault schemes and rapes. GHB has been commonly seen on the club scene in cities around the country however there have been reports of its use at gyms, as a type of steroid, and in the fashion industry, as a weigh control drug.

Some effects of GHB can include seizures and coma. GHB is more dangerous when combined with other drugs and can produce effects such as insomnia, anxiety, nausea, difficulty breathing and tremors. There is not very much information available for GHB but because GHB is commonly used in conjunction with other drugs, symptoms common in other drug use are usually common with GHB.
