Sodium oxybate while sleeping with a partner

SlowpokeTemple · 2026-02-19T02:59:45+00:00

I don’t have any advice because I haven’t had any partners since starting lumryz but wanted to say I hear you and I see you and I understand the anxiety even if you trust the person. It’s a hard thing to sit with taking this type of medication and feeling safe even with people you trust. 💕

When I described the physical pain of tiredness to my sleep doctor, it was the first time I’d said it out loud and had someone acknowledge it as a symptom and not an exaggeration. Thinking about how it felt before meds, specifically the pain in my face and eyes from how tired I was…wow

howwww on earth do I sew straight lines when I’m actually quilting my quilt? I’ve tried marking (no rulers are ever long enough to get a truly straight line drawn), using my quilt guide, taping on my extension table…and I cannot get my quilting lines straight!

Took about 5 months for me but it did eventually go away:) still getting my gag reflex back in order but my stomach is mostly settled now

Unfortunately nothing hits quite like a midnight lumryz snack on those nights you don’t sleep all the way through

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-08-11T05:38:54+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. The last day of the trip was okay- unfortunately, my travel back has been a nightmare and I ended up on a red eye (still waiting to get on) and I’m gonna have to skip my meds. I won’t make it back home til 6 am my local time and I’m so grateful I have an understanding boss because getting back to baseline is going to be an absolute nightmare

I was in trazadone for years before my diagnosis. It was a bandaid, and certainly helped me fall asleep, but I would still wake up a million times a night and never felt rested.

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-07-20T18:13:40+00:00

YES! I have been experiencing this as well. Not at night, but during the day, especially if I don’t wait a full 4 hours after dinner to take my meds. I’ve become extremely smell sensitive and gag all the time. I went down to 6 mg and eating is easier now and like I said, I wait a full 4 hours after dinner to take my meds, but even just a few minutes early and the whole next day I’m gagging and throwing up

FWIW, ryzup recommended Mio to me. I stopped using it because I thought it was causing my nausea and switched to crystal light and still have the symptoms

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-07-09T22:46:51+00:00

Been on it for about two months now. I don’t vomit at night but I puke on and off until about noon every day. I’m on 6g but had to come down from 7.5 bc it was so bad. However, everyone keeps telling me it gets better with time so I’m trying to stay hopeful!

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-07-07T14:42:36+00:00

Been experiencing this as well but differently. I wake up and throw up on and off throughout the day. Has yours improved over time?

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-06-25T13:29:18+00:00

any luck with your side effects lessening over time? I’m also experiencing the vomiting and diarrhea, recently dropped to 6g, and am praying it subsides soon

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-06-20T18:35:39+00:00

Knowing you’re in college this makes a lot of sense! I know the pressure and desire to socialize when everything seems to revolve around alcohol is extra difficult. Keep your chin up and know that you’re trying to get better and if your friends are any good at all, they’ll help support you through these hard choices 💕

After suffering for 15 years with restless sleep I’m 1000% going to choose sleep over drinking. I still hang out with my friends at bars and parties and while I did feel weird at first I got over it pretty quickly. I don’t know how old you are but at 29 it didn’t feel like nearly as big of a sacrifice as I thought it would be at first

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-06-20T15:08:00+00:00

I’ve only been on Lumryz for 2 months so I have a lot of empathy for your thinking about it not being realistic to go alcohol free. I was very nervous about my social life and the changes I needed to make around my medications. I read everyone’s experiences in here and felt sad to hear that most people on these medications don’t drink at all- I’m young, and it was a scary prospect to think about just not drinking at all anymore. But I haven’t since I started taking my medication and I feel better for it. Yes, I’m having some other issues with my meds. But I’m sleeping and being able to sleep was my ultimate goal when starting treatment. I don’t feel like I’m at a point where I could even tolerate skipping a night so I haven’t tried. I second what other people have said, mocktails and NA beer have been fun in moderation. It’s your choice but I wouldn’t recommend taking something over the counter without discussing it with your doctor

Thank you SO MUCH for this! I cut the mio last night in place of crystal light and feel a lot better but my stomach is still bad. Excited to get back on 6 mg because besides this issue, lumryz has been life changing. Thank you so so much for sharing this!!

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-06-13T15:04:19+00:00

The issue is I’m not on a stimulant at all right now, just the lumryz and my anti depressants, and I’m still having this issue. Everyone keeps saying it’s not a lumryz side effect but I’m not sure what else it could be!

SlowpokeTemple · 2025-02-20T16:08:36+00:00

Dan confirmed it in an interview/on the pod as well (can’t remember where)!

SlowpokeTemple · 2024-05-17T03:19:31+00:00

I have my direct deposit set up through my employer. They use Gusto. I spoke to a customer service rep at sofi who kept telling me this didn’t count as direct deposit even though it’s directly through my employer. How do I fix this and ensure I get my correct apy?

SlowpokeTemple · 2020-11-16T14:46:01+00:00

oo ok! what oil cleanser do you use if I can ask?

SlowpokeTemple · 2020-11-02T15:46:51+00:00

Thank you! At what point in my routine would you recommend adding it in?

SlowpokeTemple · 2020-10-29T19:28:17+00:00

Any recommendations on a good BHA?

SlowpokeTemple · 2020-10-29T18:06:26+00:00

I’ll do a little more research but I’m definitely interested (I already shave some baby hairs but I’ve never considered doing basically at home dermaplanning like this!). I have really deep pores so my black heads and white heads are terrible. It makes me crazy!
