Hi Tom :)
Nope, not joking. It's approved as an 'orphan drug' though so it won't be readily available. I guess you already knew that though!!! Initially at least, it will only be prescribed by sleep specialists.
Xyrem was approved as an orphan drug by the European Medicines Agency, not the UK authorities. As a result, it will be available in all EU countries.
