> my psychologist called the pdoc and that's what they came up with. i have been on so many different things with no real help. right now sleeping is an issue but i think that is because there are other problems. i don't want to just throw a sleeping pill at it and say that i got some sleep. i don't want to feel "hung over" the next day either. i will talk to the pdoc myself this evening and give him my concerns and see if his reasoning changes. when all is right in my life, i sleep fine. when i'm not sleeping well, that is telling me that i need to right something because i'm out of whack, not just disguise or cover up the problem. that's my concern with trying that stuff. sounds like way more than i need.
Ah one comment i forgot is u say it sounds like way more than u need......possably so,however out of any sleep drug i know of,ambien lunesta etc.....xyrem actualy provides CORRECT sleep,even better than non medicated sleep,it provides the recuperative stage of sleep,where as benzos ambien etc and most sleep drugs actualy give off a incorrect sleep where u dont reach the correct stage of rem,this is hellish on a person the next day,especialy a narcolpetic who hasent had a correct sleep stage the night prior,xyrem provides them with the right sleep so they actualy get the recuperation they need.
Unfortunatly the docs my way dont even know what it is,but thats not saying much if u think about my p doc telling me lyrcia hasent come out on the market yet and is not a medication for anxiety anyway.
Wrong,double whammy wrong.
