Welcome to the sleepy gang!! Did you first notice your N symptoms when you were in your teens or twenties? It's funny how so many of us have lived our lives (30 plus) years before we were dx. I am sixty and was dx when I was fifty. I am impressed by some of the testimonials of those who are taking xyrem, but on the other hand scared to death to try it. I also have sleep apnea and on a cpap, I was told it is not recommended if you have OSA even on a cpap. I finally have an appointment with a sleep doctor at the Mayo clinic in AZ and this will be one of my questions for them. I am a very drug sensitive person, most doses of drugs I have to start out at a pediatric dose. Do you have cataplexy? If so, does the xyrem help that too?
