Abstract		We report three cases of gamma-hydoxybutyrate (GHB) overdose. GHB overdose typically presents with decreased level of consciousness, miosis, bradycardia and respiratory depression. Typically, combativeness, confusion and vomiting occur once the patients begin to recover. Physicians should suspect GHB poisoning in young ravers who present with CNS depression. Treatment is symptomatic. There is no specific antidote. Gastric lavage is not beneficial, but activated charcoal is recommended.
