Narcolepsy
"I had been terrified to try this medicine because of the warnings. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy w/ catalepsy 4 years ago Started Xyrem last year. Amazing. I take the full dose twice a night.I don&#039;t have to struggle to make myself get out of bed in am.Don&#039;t have have other symptoms I had before. take my daytime medicine,but don&#039;t need as much and I fall asleep (unintentionally) less frequently during the day. I usually take only one nap during the day. And I don&#039;t get sleepy driving like I used to. I take it right as I get into bed. I still can be awoken by loud sounds or my dog, which is good because I feared that I would not wake when needed. I had no side effects-they are over-blown. In the past, this was sold over the counter!!"
