If you are planning on taking GHB
- The amount of GHB you need to take to feel the effects is very close to the amount needed for anaesthesia, and this increases the risk of seizures or coma. Users are advised to take only very small quantities at a time, especially because concentration levels of the drug can vary wildly.
- Top ups must be restricted to no more than every 2 hours. Anything more frequent increases the (already high) risk of overdose.
- If you are with someone who is using GHB and they become ill, collapse, or start vomiting, call an ambulance immediately. Let the paramedics or doctor know what they have taken so that help can be given quickly.
