Abstract

Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a central nervous system depressant effecting GABA-B receptors. GHB is taken along with other psychoactive substances like alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy, and amphetamines especially during parties. Due to the fact that it has been linked to sexual assault, GHB has drawn attention in recent years. This substance is often taken by youngsters and results in euphoric states of mind, signs of relief, easiness in communication, increases in sexual appetite, and experiences of different states of mind. Dizziness, hypotension, bradycardia, nauseation, and vomiting are typical toxication symptoms of GHB. Also, epileptic seizures, respirotary depression, and deaths have been reported as a result of taking GHB. It is widely known that the use of GHB in our country has increased gradually. This case report is important as it summarizes the anamnesis, penetration, and clinical symptoms of GHB. In order to prevent the use of GHB, it would be appropriate to develop psycho-education methodologies, establish legislative regulations, and include GHB tests in substance screening analyses.
