Cara Delevingne Discloses GHB Withdrawal Seizures

British model and actor Cara Delevingne has revealed she suffered seizures from GHB withdrawal during a severe drug addiction that escalated in 2022, describing the period as nearly fatal. The 33-year-old detailed her struggle in a recent podcast interview, explaining that shocking paparazzi photos from that year captured her in a state of crisis immediately after a medical episode.

Delevingne said her substance use intensified around her 30th birthday, when she was using GHB, a central nervous system depressant, daily to "knock yourself out," and cocaine to stay awake. After deciding to quit GHB following a birthday celebration, she experienced severe withdrawal because she was unaware she needed a medical detox. She began having seizures, one of which occurred at the Burning Man festival just before the now-viral airport photos were taken.

The public images served as a turning point, she said. While initially devastating, she now views them as a necessary reality check that prompted her to seek sobriety. Delevingne acknowledged she had been to rehabilitation before but had not fully committed to recovery until this period.

Her relationship with substances began much earlier....
