willyee thanks for the info, it's helpful. My sleep study showed that I was getting 0 short-wave deep sleep. That's why my sleep doctor is considering it. I can't remember the last time I woke in the morning feeling refreshed. And I always wake in the middle of the night and barely get back to sleep, if at all.
warm regards, Jake
> I dont use it for insomnia,to do so requires a ver high dose of around 4 grams or higher,also xyrem has a half life of 4 hours so it requires two doses u are instructed to set aside to seperate doses.
>
> Xyrem is an EXTREMLY dose dependant drug,doses to treat anxiet depression depending on weight individual response etc,should be approx no more than 1 gram at most.

> This is in high contrast to 4 grams at least for sleep,so its a totaly different story.

> Xyrem is believed to have a dopamine rebound effect,but personaly after reading its actualy a glutamine rebound affect,very stimulating and agigtating,so its a drug u wanna use carefully.

> In all honesty id ise ambien for insomnia before xyrem,the doses of 4 grams and above are simply to high for this drug.But best wishes if u do try it.......i just hope no pray u know the price of it in vivo ur insurance,because without insurance,ur speaking of 300 dollers at least for a single supply,its extremly extremly expensive.

> I use it sparingly,as its very powerful.Ambien has been great for insomnia,it seems u can augment ambien with tons of stuff from a small peiace of a benzo,to a beta blocker,to over the counter taurine,all these in combo with a partial pieace of ambien work great for me.

> My sleep on parnate is finaly ok,now is the depression,anxiety,social avoidant behaviour issues at hand!What fun!
