Reviews for Sodium oxybate to treat Fibromyalgia

Xyrem (sodium oxybate): I have taken Xyrem for 4 years without any negative side effects. The only drawback of this medicine is you have to wake up in the middle of the night to take the second dose. My quality of sleep has improved, and I am in less pain.

Xyrem (sodium oxybate): I was in a clinical study for Xyrem for fibromyalgia. I hated having to wake up to take the 2nd dose. Was afraid of being addicted to the medicine. It did not significantly lessen my pain. I had suffered from sleeping problems for years and was really afraid that I would have horrific problems sleeping once I stopped the medicine. But to my surprise it seemed to have forced my body to break the insomnia habit. I haven't had sleeping problems in the year since I quit the drug. Used to wake at 3 am most mornings and not be able to get back to sleep or have trouble getting to sleep. Now I sleep from 11 to 6 usually - no problem. So I am grateful for that.

Xyrem (sodium oxybate): Xyrem got rid of my pain significantly as well as the feeling of being drained. I felt as if I no longer had fibro. The side effects were difficult. Still trying to work with those.
