So I was armed with lots of reputable printed material and experience. Most pdocs I saw were ignorant and knew nothing other than media BS about GHB. I found one that was willing to learn about it and try "experimental" treatment with it. Turns out after meeting with a rep from Orphan Medical that it's used a lot for anxiety and depression. Among many other things. I would suggest talking to your pdoc about meeting with a rep. That might be your best bet.

FYI, here's a paragraph on Nick Nolte's arrest:

L O S A N G E L E S, Oct. 23 - Prosecutors filed two misdemeanor counts Wednesday against actor Nick Nolte in connection with his September arrest for allegedly driving under the influence. Nolte, 61, faces charges of driving under the influence and being under the influence of a controlled substance, said Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Tests indicated Nolte had elements of the banned depressant gamma hydroxybutyrate in his system, she said. Known as GHB, the drug comes in liquid, powder or pill form. It became a popular club drug because of its ability to cause euphoria. The drug can also cause loss of consciousness, which has led to its abuse as a date-rape drug. Nolte checked into a Connecticut rehabilitation center on Sept. 14, just days after his arrest. An arraignment was scheduled Monday in Malibu. If convicted, he could serve up to six months in jail. Nolte had been driving his black 1992 Mercedes-Benz, swerving into oncoming highway lanes, when he was stopped Sept. 11 near his west Malibu home, police said.

Here's the rest of the link but you could do a search and come up with many others.
