So my neurologist finally sent in a prescription for Xyrem for my treatment resistant chronic insomnia that I have been dealing with for the past 10 years. I was excited about it until I started doing additional research and found out about its high incidence of worsening of depression. I am currently treated for clinical depression/mood-disorder and am on Lexapro and Strattera in the morning and then Neurontin, Seroquel and Xanax in the evening. Is there anyone else out there who is being treated for depression and also on Xyrem at the same time with no problems? I would really like to know as a lot of the anecdotal reports seem to indicate that if you already have depression, then it is almost *guaranteed* to worsen it.
