As i'm sure most of you know GHB increases the amount of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain , but what most of you probably don't know is that GABA inhibits the release of Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) which is the hormone that initiates the bodys stress response . Look at it this way CRH is the bodys stress button , which is being held down with continuous use when using GHB . As you encounter stress the pressure under this button begins to build up. If you suddenly stop taking GHB cold turkey you remove you're finger from this button and you're stress levels shoot through the roof due to the build up , causing all the nasty withdrawal symptoms . Which is why if you chose to use GHB you should always use it irregularly or cycle it and ween yourself off very slowly.
