I tried Xyrem for my narcolepsy, and trust me-- it is the worst possible med to try for insomnia. It causes insomnia for the first few months while you titrate the dose, because you can't start at the dose effective for putting you to sleep until your body is adjusted (unless you want to sleep but wake up to vomitting, as I immaturately did a few times).
I think it also led to depression, as I didn't go to many of my classes first few weeks. And I had to spend $1500 on Botox surgery for my arms just because it gave me excessive perspiration even Drysol wouldn't help.
I thought it was cool, but it wasn't. I have a whole bottle of it, haven't touched it in a month, don't plan to. It made me unstable, gave me the worst insomnia of my life, and just made me a mess in general because of how it affected my sleep by not letting me go to sleep.
