Xyrem Side Effects Please Help
Posted: 04-06-04 08:37am

Please help I need to know if any one else has had anxiety feelings after being on xyrem. I started out taking 4.5 ml twice a night. I also take seroquel 25mg, which I am stopping in a few days. For 11 days it was 4.5 ml both doses. Then fri the doc. Upped the second dose from 4.5 ml to 6 ml b/c I was not resting well or staying asleep well on the second dose. Sat. I felt nervous and sun I was just felt totally overwhelmed and cried most of the day. Today I feel very nervous and fight tears several times at work. I have had problems with anxiety a few years ago and currently being treated for depression with effexor. Because of my history i’m not sure if it’s side effects or something else. Has anyone else had anxiety or feel like crying with xyrem? If so how long did it last?

Thank you
amy

Just to let anyone know who reads the above post. I spoke to my Dr.'s office and they suggest I stop the xyrem. I've been off xyrem for 6 days and all the bad feels are gone. Apparently sadness and anxiety can be side effects.
