Dr. Bob's point is well taken. There are people on the internet who claim that GHB is the world's greatest cure-all. A caution bell should go off when you read things like this.

GHB has been used experimentally on a narrow range of patients. It's available by perscription in Europe for drug and alcohol addiction, for anesthesia, and for narcolepsy. Other data on its use is sketchy and inconclusive.

The method of action is not completely understood, but it appears to be through a novel family of neuroreceptors, with some secondary involvement of GABA-B.
