5 | Fibromyalgia | Occasional nausea | Xyrem gave me my life back! I started taking it for sleep disturbances related to fibro, and now I don't know what I'd do without my nightly Xyrem dose. It makes me feel refreshed and ready to go the next day, without any grogginess. | F | 30 | 2 years | 10/10/2009 | 5 | Narcolepsy | Works great, I finally sleep through the night! | Cost is too high, Thank God for insurance! | F | 38 | 6 years | 9/6/2009 | 5 | Narcolepsy / Cataplexy | Slight dopamine rebound in the morning that caused anxiety at times. | This is a great drug for those who suffer from sleep problems. It works to normalize the sleep pattern. I read that it chemically acts as the REM sleep cycle. It helps me stay alert, and times that I have stopped taking it, I notice that my loss of sleep quality allows my immune system to drop, so I get sick easily. | M | 35 | 7 years | 4/25/2009 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Clumsy getting out of bed in middle of night. | Astonishingly effective. Eliminated my fibro pain and stiffness. Xyrem allowed me to sit all day and only be slightly stiff, when before I'd be nearly unable to walk if I didn't move around regularly. With fibro, sleep quality is the key. Recently I started taking a new medication that interferes with my sleep, while continuing Xyrem. My fibro pain and stiffness are back, though still better than before. Note: I also use CPAP for sleep apnea. | F | 51 | 3 years | 2/3/2009 | 5 | Alcohol withdrawal | None | This drug helped me a lot to get rid of my alcohol addiction. I think I've been an alcoholic since I was 20. It was literally making me die, lost a lot of the good things in life. This drug got rid of the cravings and all sort of other symptoms. Plus it made look to life in a better way. | M | 52 | 5 months | 7/6/2008 | 5 | Narcolepsy with Cataplexy | Very good drug. Too bad it is so expensive | M | 39 | 8 months | 7/4/2008 |
