A 35-year-old man had been using high doses of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) for many years. He had been trying to cut down on use of this drug for 2 months. He was admitted to the hospital suffering from a withdrawal delirium accompanied by hallucinations and agitation. Use of GHB is increasing in the Netherlands. Along with serious intoxication and dependency, the possibility of withdrawal symptoms should also be taken into consideration. Administration of high doses of benzodiazepines is an effective treatment for these withdrawal symptoms.
一名35岁男子多年来一直大量使用γ-羟基丁酸（GHB）。他在过去两个月里一直试图减少这种药物的使用。他因戒断谵妄伴幻觉和躁动入院。在荷兰，GHB的使用呈上升趋势。除了严重中毒和成瘾外，还应考虑戒断症状的可能性。大剂量苯二氮䓬类药物的使用是治疗这些戒断症状的有效方法。
