Tried it in hopes that Narcolepsy would improve..

I have narcolepsy and have found that this drug, along with short scheduled naps during the day, has changed my life. However, the larger the dose, the more effective the results.

I have narcolepsy. Xyrem helps me get my real deep sleep and I can actually wake up on time to my alarms. This is amazing for me since I have never really felt how normal people do (ie: well rested). It IS a pain to get used to waking up in the middle of the night for the second dose... but worth it.

I am very satisfied with the drug; in fact I can say it has changed my life. The issue is I can not live without it. I am not physically addicted to the medicine but if I don't take it, I can't sleep. I work for myself and if I ever get dropped from my idividual carrier it could be disasterious.
