Xyrem side effects revisited

Post by rfishburn »

I am finally up to 9ml X2 and the nausea and shakes are bad...Also knee and hip pain. If the theory about your body producing more GH all of that would make sense...just not sure how valid that is. On the positive side is it helped me lose the lyrica weight almost 20 pounds and most of the daytime symptoms have faded.

Do you need to be that high?

When is the nausea a problem - after you take it?

To get close to 8 hours 9ml X2 works well. I get the jitters just after waking after the second dose in the morning. Today is not as bad though,maybe a few weeeks out will be even better...

Wellll. . . I wonder if it would work well at a lower dose along with a lower dose of something else - like a bit of a DA or a bit of an opioid. Not that I can take the DAs (and I can't remember if you can, Randy), but, maybe someone else could; I also don't know if you can mix this with anything without interactions.
