I googled Xyrem here and most of the posts are anywhere from 1 - 3+ years ago. Any recent experiences from anyone? And I apologize if I didn't page through the threads long enough to find something newer.
I have been on it for just 3 weeks and I don't notice any difference. Not that I really expected to so soon. I have had a couple of days where my brain didn't feel as foggy. Don't know if that's wishful thinking.
I started out taking 2grams twice a night for a week, then 3grams for a week, and last night was 4 grams. I thought having to set an alarm to wake up and take the next dose was kind of counter-productive (like the hospital waking you up to take a sleeping pill), but I found myself waking up anyway around the time I was supposed to take the 2nd dose. The only side-effect has been nausea with the first dose at 3 & 4grams. But that went away pretty quickly.
My main reason for taking it is CFS & ESD. My insurance company didn't blink an eye at giving it to me which really surprised me.
If anyone has any experience I'd love to hear it.
