Xyrem is GHB (the date rape drug).  It's for sleep (which if we sleep
properly, we'll have more energy and less pain).  I take Provigil also.  I
haven't had to use as much since starting the Xyrem.  I was taking 200-400mg
bid... at times, adding another 100mg in the late afternoon if I absolutely
had to stay awake.  Also, when taking the Xyrem, I can't take any other
sedatives... so that's a handful less of pills I'm swallowing which is a
good thing.
The drugs.com site mainly discusses all the potential problems with Xyrem...
just like it does with opioids.  Trying to scare us away.
www.xyrem.com is a much better site.

Xyrem is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of narcolepsy, to:
¤ Reduce too much daytime sleepiness
  -- Excessive Daytime Sleepiness occurs in 100% of Narcolepsy Patients
¤ Reduce cataplexy (weak or paralyzed muscles attacks)
  -- Cataplexy occurs in approximately 60% of patients

You can get Xyrem only by prescription.  You must get it through the central
pharmacy.  Before you first receive Xyrem, your doctor or the central
pharmacy will confirm that you understand how to use the drug safely and
effectively.

*******It's very restricted and only dispensed by one pharmacy in the whole
U.S.  It's very sedating and at a MUCH lower dose than what is found in
clubs, etc.  It helps to restore proper sleep cycles.... I have noticed a
big difference when using it.  The only bad part is that you have to take
another dose 2.5-4 hrs after the first dose.... and it also tastes really
bad (incredibly salty).  BUT if it continues to help, I can deal with those
2 inconviences.
So far so good.  Hope it continues.
