User Reviews for 1,4-butanediol

Contrary to some people's beliefs, use of BD is not harmful IF USED PROPERLY. Acetaminophen is deadly if abused as are most drugs. It clearly states in the warning NOT to mix it with any other substances. Doses should be moderated to begin and increased gradually for desired effect. Don't be irresponsible with this or any other drug and you'll be ok.

My partner tried using this - he bought it as an industrial solvent. He assured me it was safe but I could see how it was affecting him - he would fall asleep almost instantly, sometimes in the middle of eating (as in, with food in his mouth). Using this triggered his addiction as well and he started drinking alcohol too. He ended up overdosing on the BD, vomited in his sleep and aspirated, and was in a coma for two days and in the hospital for six. As soon as he was out he went back to using anything he could get - BD, alcohol, Valium, Marijuana (which wouldn't have concerned me on its own but he ABUSES all these substances). I'm afraid he may have some permanent brain damage. DO NOT USE THIS CRAP! If you find your loved one is using it, get them help - don't believe them when they tell you its "safe" because it converts to something the body makes anyway. I wish I had found this article when I first learned what he was doing: https://www.lycaeum.org/leda/Documents/1,4-Butanediol_Toxicity.15209.shtml No one seems to know the longterm effects of BD - only its effects externally as an industrial solvent have been studied even though it had been known for some time - almost 20 years at least - that people have been ingesting it as a supplement or drug and that it has dangerously harmful effects. . Please stay far far away. Get help if you need it. Don't use BD - IT WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND CAN KILL YOU - and don't let anyone you know or love use it either.Read More Read Less
