In reply to New FDA labelling for Xyrem warns of depression, posted by jrbecker on February 23, 2006, at 11:11:44
Ok,lets fix this right here,GHB is gamma hydroxy butrycic acid,meaning the sodium hydroxide carries it into the brain.
If used CORRECTLY,meaning by someone who knows the difference of a dose for sleep of a WHOPPING MIND BLOWING 3-4 grams,and someone who knows the dose for anxiety and depression which could be as low as 200mg and unless reason be it should be really no higher than 2.5 grams ,some individuals are heavy and some are just tolrtant to it.
Never the less 4 grams is either a recreational dose or a sleep dose.So thats aside right there.
Now ghbs actions is similiar in some way to almost all of your anti convulsant mood stablizers,its calming,overall ehances gaba,muscle relaxation etc.
Differnce,is unlike say depakote that is calming but flatening ghb can have a slight eupohria to it,however it is not a anti depressant in its own right.It in my opinion should never be used therputicaly alone,instead it should be combined with a Anti depressant,prefably a semi stimulating one.
So it should not be surprising to anyone that coninued use of ghb alone in the treatment of depression will eventualy lead to first much worse depression,horrable rebound anxiety,and well just imahine using xanax as a sole med,yeah feels good at first,but how quick will xanax go from a calming augment excellent med to a nightmare if used alone,how severe will tolerance build,rebound build,depression and a list of other things.I know having used xyrem in conjunction with parnate that it cant be the sole treatment,but he double hockey sticks if it doesent beat every single moood stablizer u could try to add.
Xyrem is all about patienace,the response curve is steep,and swift,one must slowly learn the proper dose,because a perfect augmenting dose allowing freedom from anxiet,ehnacing a Anti depressant,and ehnacing social behaviour can in a SNAP of a droplet turn to a stupour high.I dont advise no one to use xyrem thepruticaly unless they are on some sort of anti depressant or day time stimulant.
Its like drinking beer everyday,in about a week youll be crying ur eyes out in despair.I know its just helped me 1000 percent out my social slump.
