Hi,
This is my first time posting ,but I have been reading for years. I have very severe insomnia. I have taken everything from Nembutal to Chloral Hydrate and everything else. I was prescribed Xyrem by a sleep specialist. While it has positive effects it does not put me to sleep period. I still have two full bottles. My sleep specialist said I am the first person he has ever prescribed it to that has no reaction. It's so bad I am going to turn in the unused Xyrem and get my Valium, Ambien and back.He made me discontinue both for the Xyrem. The hardest to obtain, most expensive and monitored drug in modern medicine and I have to give it up. If any of you have had positive effects or unable to sleep after taking it Xyrem/GHB. I would love to hear from you. Please PM me

Welcome to Bluelight prim91,

Unfortunately, i am unable to intelligently answer your questions. But,

Your post may be better suited in the Mental Health subforum or the Basic Drug Discussion subforum.
You'll get more useful replies in those sections.

Regardless of what you choose to do, thanks for joining the team :D

Good luck.
 
Hi Prim, welcome to Bluelight. Your question would be best placed in one of the drugs forums, like Basic Drug Discussion - if people simply send you PMs, any information gleaned fails to benefit the rest of the community :)

I've found a combination of xyrem, clonidine (or labetolol), cyproheptadine, GHRP-6, GABA, glycine and glutamine pretty effective when really struggling with insomnia. The problem with relying on ambien and benzodiazepines is that they destroy sleep architecture and prevent you attaining deep sleep.

All the best,

Could it be that your stopping the benzos gave the xyrem a harder job to Do? I had to use a very high dose of the street version of xyrem to sleep when quitting xanax. Benzos have a really creeper withdrawal situation. For instance I thought I was just about better a couple of weeks after weaning down to the smallest does possible and got hit suddenly with delirium tremens. If you get off the benzos the best way, switching to phenobarbitol and slowly weaning off of that instead, you might find those standard doses of xyrem to work.
 
Your both right, I have had 7 sleep studies since 07 without any rem at all. I really miss my diazipam as my anxiety is out of control. When I take Diazipam and Seroquel the Xyrem puts me in rem. My sleep specialist is good,but very conservative and insisted I take no sedatives period, despite having a tolerance to sedatives unlike he has never seen. This stuff is so tightly controlled it's unbelievable, they actually call and check on me. When it came it was a whole kit. Those are all supplements available online aside from the clonodine? I will repost in basic drug forum. Thank you
