You're right, I did mean GHB. When I wrote that (late at night) I remembered reading posts from a number of people who had tried GHB in low doses and gotten a strong benefit in terms of their depression and anxiety (particularly of the social variety).
But now that I think about it more, I also remember quite a few folks saying that GHB just sort of knocked them out. So maybe not so useful of an effect after all. Plus, makes we worry a little bit about going off Depakote (which I'm on, as well), since I've heard about problems of withdrawal from freebase GBH.

> I think you mean GHB elevation...I looked up the relationship between the two like you did and came up with a website for GHB withdrawal. It claims that Sodium Divalproate (Depakote) increases endogeneous GHB levels. What this means, as far as I'm concerned, I have no idea. All I know about GHB is that it's a "date rape" drug that has since been marketed as a treatment for some form of narcolepsy.
