I don’t normally feel inclined to write on forums, I read them, make a judgment and act. Heck, often I already know what I want to do, but I read the articles for that one out of thousands that conforms to what I want to do and it’s settled.

Being a G-head myself, I like to go on the 24/7 G programs (sometimes up to 90 days!) for a spell then get some valiums and Gabapentins to come off. Detox time for GHB or GBL can be relatively quick with the aid of these meds.

GHB and GBL are no longer available in the US. Even the illicit sources in the US have dried up and the Polish sources will no longer send GBL stateside. So, after some research and since BDO can still be bought for cleaning graffiti here in the US, I decided to give it a try. Mind you, during my research, there was more bad than good, but I pretty much had my mind made up.

To begin with, BDO does work like G, but it feels “dirty”. Not sure if that’s from the extra process of the liver converting it to GHB or the actual purity of the product, but I won’t go into all that because this is about my experience with BDO bought here in the US. This “dirty” feeling is easily overlooked when the basic G feeling is there, heck it felt really nice. So I decide to keep dosing, 24/7, taking it to wake up, eat, walk, talk, fuck, sleep, etc. I was on the program.

This stuff turned on me, and I consider myself a pretty good abuser of the stuff.

I take G in the morning to wake up. It gives a nice energetic rush first thing in the morning (and all day for that matter!) and there’s just no stopping me. BDO makes me sleepy and want to take naps all throughout the day, naps that last 10-15 minutes, but I have to take them on the spot or they won’t work. If at home, I can get a quick reset on the couch, but what if I'm out and about? I'm so screwed-over for the day if I don’t get it in. Ug, and if I don’t get that nap in, I get super twitchy. I can’t stop flailing my arms, legs and head around. I have to start pacing or walking to hide that craziness. I have to be ready to drink more coffee than I ever have to combat the sleepiness.

I like to take G and eat. Well, BDO actually takes away the desire to eat after awhile, the stomach gets upset easily and the very thought of eating is out the window.

I like to take G and work out. As I mentioned, BDO makes me real sleepy, so I don’t work out anymore. And there is some truth on that anti-GHB website as far as muscle wasting, I’ve noticed considerable muscle loss during my BDO stretch.

I like to take G and fuck. I can still get it up on BDO, but because I'm so sleepy and can’t really concentrate, cumming is impossible. With everyday sex I will only come once or twice (if lucky) a week, just can’t get into it because I‘m so distracted.

I like to take G and work. It can make me very focused and driving, BDO makes me cross-eyed, distracted and sleepy, unable to focus and loss of productivity time. I find myself spending more time trying to concentrate or fight off sleepiness than getting the work in. Tons of coffee can work.

I sometimes take a larger dose at night to G out, sleep 2 hours then repeat the process every 2 hours until the time when everyone else is getting up. Well, BDO does work like that in the beginning of the 24/7 program, but after a few weeks it made me twitch my arms and legs so spastically that I couldn't sleep at all. Then, I made the mistake of thinking I needed more so I could truly G-out. BIG mistake because that spastic twitching means too much was taken already and the ride will now last twice as long, 2-3 hours of twitching and jerking uncontrollably with no sleep at all. This the worst feeling! Because, at least on G and that‘s going on, I'm unconscious and don’t feel it. On BDO, I'm completely conscious and feeling every convulsion. It’s like having hiccups for years. So, isn’t that strange, during the day I want to sleep all the time, why not now at night. I kept the dose low, no twitching, but naps at 15 minutes a piece. This was when I wanted to get the heck off this stuff!

BDO dreams are way more vivid than G dreams, even after awaking I can’t stop trying to keep whatever it was that I was doing in my dream, at least in my memory. I work a lot, so I think I’m working in my sleep and need to continue, when there’s nothing there.

I get really bad lower back pain now so I’ve been checking my urine and stool for blood, never can visually see anything, but I do get nosebleeds now. I have never gotten nosebleeds before and they have become common place. That’s new from the BDO I’m assuming because they started at the same time.

So now, it’s detox time. The usual Valium, Ativan, gabapentin route. And you know what? Even this has proven more difficult and longer to do! This shit sticks in me, twirls me about, and leaves grudgingly.

To summarize, BDO only for the weekend warrior, and even then be really careful. BDO not for the G-head addict like myself that wants to go long-term, it didn't work like G and I wished I never had started with it.
