> my psychologist called the pdoc and that's what they came up with. i have been on so many different things with no real help. right now sleeping is an issue but i think that is because there are other problems. i don't want to just throw a sleeping pill at it and say that i got some sleep. i don't want to feel "hung over" the next day either. i will talk to the pdoc myself this evening and give him my concerns and see if his reasoning changes. when all is right in my life, i sleep fine. when i'm not sleeping well, that is telling me that i need to right something because i'm out of whack, not just disguise or cover up the problem. that's my concern with trying that stuff. sounds like way more than i need.
Did u read my post,that is what makes xyrem so unique,upond xyrem leaving,a dopamine surge occurs,this leaves the user awake and alert in the morning and last most of the day.
This is most likly why they are considering this drug over common sedtives like ambien,they are hoping to kill two birds with one stone.
As to the person posted above,xyrem is now perfectly legal to prescribe off label for things as common as clinical insomnia....its at the docters discression.
