There is no valid clinical indication for any psychiatrist to prescribe GHB (gamma-hydroxy-butyrate), unless you suffer from cataplexy (or very intractable insomnia). This compound is sold under the brand name Xyrem by Jazz Pharmaceuticals. It requires very careful monitoring. It is difficult to obtain, as only one pharmacy in the nation can dispense it (and ship it to patients). Currently, less than 1% of all psychiatrists have ever prescribed Xyrem. Sleep disorder specialists are more likely to prescribe Xyrem than other doctors.
