What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms of unexplained sedation, memory gaps, or if you suspect exposure to a substance without your knowledge. It's also useful if you need to confirm whether GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) is present in your system for personal, workplace, or legal reasons. Many people order this test after a night where they felt unusually drowsy, dizzy, or disoriented and want answers.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a positive or negative finding means. If your result is positive, next steps may include avoiding any further exposure and, if you're experiencing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or extreme drowsiness, seeking emergency medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you test again in the future, you can track results over time using the trends feature.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who suspects they were given GHB without their knowledge, such as in a drink at a social event, should consider this test. It's also relevant for people in recovery programs, workplace testing situations, or those who want to confirm abstinence from the substance. People experiencing unexplained blackouts, confusion, or nausea after a night out may also want this test for peace of mind.

How can I naturally support my body after GHB exposure?

Staying well hydrated helps your body flush out substances more efficiently, so drinking plenty of water is a good first step. Getting extra rest allows your body and brain to recover from any sedative effects. Eating light, easy-to-digest meals can help settle your stomach if you're feeling nauseous. If symptoms are severe or you feel unsafe, seek medical care right away instead of relying on home remedies.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days from when your sample is collected. Once ready, you'll be notified and can log into your account to view them right away. The report will explain what your result means in plain language.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include sudden drowsiness, confusion, memory loss for a period of time, nausea, or feeling unusually intoxicated after only a small amount of alcohol. Some people also notice muscle weakness, slowed breathing, or difficulty staying awake. If you experienced any of these after a social event and suspect something was added to your drink, this test can help confirm it.

What is GHB and why does it matter?

GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) is a substance that acts as a depressant on the central nervous system, meaning it slows down brain activity. In small amounts it has been used medically, but it's also misused recreationally and unfortunately sometimes used to facilitate assault because it can cause sedation and memory loss. Knowing whether it's in your system matters for your safety, health decisions, and sometimes for legal documentation.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means GHB was detected in your urine sample, which suggests recent exposure or use, typically within the past several hours to a day since it clears the body quickly. This could mean it was taken knowingly or given to you without your awareness. If you believe you were exposed without consent, consider preserving the lab report as documentation and seeking emergency medical care if you still feel unwell.

How often should I retest?

This isn't typically a test you'd repeat on a regular schedule like a wellness panel. You'd generally only retest if you have a new suspected exposure event or need to confirm a specific incident. Because GHB leaves the body quickly, timing matters, so test as soon as possible after a suspected exposure for the most accurate result.

What should I do if my results are positive?

If you get a positive result, focus first on your safety and health, especially if you're still experiencing symptoms like severe drowsiness or breathing trouble, in which case you should seek emergency care immediately. Once you're feeling stable, keep a copy of your downloadable lab report in case you need it for personal records or reporting purposes. Avoiding situations where drinks or food could be tampered with going forward can help reduce future risk.
