Posted by sotired on March 08, 2007 at 16:56:02:I have been on xyrem for about 9 months and went through some things at the beginnning which went away. I felt almost normal with an exception of a few things. I lost alot of weight, my thinking was that since the part of the brain that controls sleep also controls hunger, I was sleeping deeper so it was affecting the way I ate, I don't mind the weight lost, it was a good side effect, but I have bad acne now and also have muscle weakness. I know alot of people said to take magnesium, so I do but am scared to take extra potassium since a nurse told me it can affect your heart. Does anyone else have no energy or feel like muscles can't do much? I was also hypothyroid for 6 years, but since being on the xyrem I was getting hyperthyroid, my thinking again was that since I was sleeping deeper and that part of the brain sends down the line which the pituitary eventually gets which sends to the thyroid and back around again I thought maybe it strighened it out so I quit taking my thyroid med. after I saw my tsh was very low, even though my t-4 was fine. I'm sorry this is so jumbled, have lots on my mind and not sure what to make of some of this. Thanks for reading.
