Rafael Meyer, Josef Jenewein and Soenke Boettger

Gamma-Hydroxy-Butyric acid (GHB) and its liquid precursor Gamma-Butyro-Lactone (GBL) have become increasingly popular beyond the clubbing culture and daily consumption as well as dependence has become a more common problem. This case report illustrates the presentation and management of severe GHB-dependence and its sequelae, which are increasingly encountered in the addiction and general hospital setting.
