Re: fibromyalgia

I don't know about fibromyalgia, but I think Xyrem works for other things besides narcolepsy...mainly weight loss.
I was on Xyrem for about 8 months and lost about 40 lbs. without changing eating, exercise, or anything. I don't eat a lot to begin with, so I should not even be overweight. I admit I never exercise, this is mainly because I am tired ALL the time, and lucky to make it through the day.
My husband lost his insurance and I had to discontinue my meds. It has been another 8 months later, and I have gained all the weight back. No increase of eating and possibly doing more activity than before.
