TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - GHB-induced delirium: a case report and review of the literature of gamma hydroxybutyric acid JO - American journal of drug and alcohol abuse encompassing all addictive disorders A1 - Hernandez, M. A1 - McDaniel, C. H. A1 - Costanza, C. D. A1 - Hernandez, O. J. SP - 179 EP - 183 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - We describe what we believe is the first psychiatric hospitalization due to GHB-induced delirium reported in the medical literature. We examine the use of the substance gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and describe the clinical findings in a patient who presented to an acute inpatient psychiatric unit with a chief complaint of feeling suicidal and a 1-year history of GHB use. A review of the literature and GHB's availability through the Internet are discussed.
