HI,
My doctor has considered that drug a few times, however, I've resisted trying it, as it is a pretty potent drug, usually used to treat narcolepsy, and although I'm fatigued with my Fibro, I am not to the point of falling asleep during a conversation, so to speak. I hope you have good luck with it though, come back often and let us know if you do try it , I'd be interested in knowing how you do with it. Bless you and good luck!

I am in a clinical trial using sodium oxybate for fibro and only used it 2 days so far, it has been the best 2 night of sleep i have had in years. Also have more energy and less pain and stiffness in my hands. I still have a few weeks to go so will keep you updated.
