GHB to treat caffeine withdrawal?

So I followed the tek here to brew some GHB/GBL spiked booze. The day after drinking some (Approx. 0.6g) I decided that I would not partake in any caffeine, which would usually give me a pounding headache past noon, but lo and behold: No headache. I didn't drink anything that night, then the next day there was a bit of a headache, about as strong as expected for the second day of caffeine withdrawal, and none the next day.
This week I'm back on the caffeine wagon, so it's the perfect opportunity to test this again. I'm not sure if this was just a coincidence or if this might be repeatable. Which is why I'm posting here, anybody else have any similar experiences? If not, do we have any volunteers to test this out? I'll probably keep drinking coffee until Thursday night when I'll drink some of my special wine and find out if I have a headache this friday. I'll keep you folk posted!
A note for the mods: I haven't posted on the shroomery in ages, so if this is off-topic or would have a better audience in another board please feel free to move it!

It is apparently a vasoconstrictor, so it would make sense.

But the problem, from what I understand, is that caffeinne is a vasoconstrictor. So, when you stop drinking coffee you should get the effects of a vasodialator in your withdrawal. That's why your head hurts, because of too much vasodialation.

GHB/GBL is known for causing a rebound when it wears off which can be very stimulating so its possible that this rebound is causing vasoconstriction which is balancing out the vasodilation of caffeine withdrawal. I dunno, just a guess.
