> The idea is the GHB is helpful in making sleep more restorative. It's will known, and has been recently reported in Psychology Today (effects of insomnia on inducing insomnia) that poor sleep quality can cause depression. If you don't wake up feeling refreshed and have a brightened mood, you're probably not getting restorative sleep.

I guess it would make sense that it would be helpful in treating depression if your depression is caused by lack of sleep. I am still skeptical that if its the other way around, GHB is only going to make things worse in the depression department. As for social phobia, I would be rather surprised to learn that a good night's sleep could reduce social phobia symptoms, but I don't suffer from social phobia so my understanding of it is not very good.

I am very curious to see how it goes for you, please keep us informed.
