Primary Outcome Measures:
  • to monitor for endocrine changes in response to treatment of cataplexy with Xyrem eg: IGF-1. [ Time Frame: baseline, month 1 and month 3 (8 hours after bedtime dose) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Circadian rhythm, GH, cortisol, ACTH, DHEA-S, Prolactin, TSH, T4, electrolytes (NA, K, CA, P) and osmolality [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Frequency, severity, nature and duration of adverse events reported by the subjects during the whole duration of the study [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Physical examination abnormalities evaluated at each visit [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Vital signs evaluated at each visit. [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Calculation of BMI at each visit [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
