I never had a problem getting Xyrem from the psychiatrist I used to see and now I just see my family physician who is open to trying things with me and would give me a RX for Xyrem if I wanted, but he also knows I research everything well and have a medical background as a physician assistant.
However, you're right regarding physicians being apprehensive in RXing Xyrem as GHB has has an unfortunate bad press regarding it as the date rate drug when GHB was sold in health food stores as a supplement. It is present in many foods, but just n smaller quantities although dark beer like NewCastle Brown has a decent amount of natural GHB present in it. Ward Dean, MD the worlds most authorative expert on GHB wrote a book called "GHB The Natural Antidepressant" (http://www.warddeanmd.com/irsintro.htm). It's unfortunate that no one has ever died from taking GHB alone even in mega doses, but the party animals abused it with various other drugs giving GHB a bad name. Great book to read.
