Does Xyrem Cause Sleep Disorder And Shaky Feeling In Legs?

I take xyrem for narcolepsy. I can t seem to sleep more than 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours after each time i take the medication. Do narcolepsy patients ever achieve 2, 4-hr. stretches of sleep? Also, is it normal for the legs to feel shaky for an hour or so in the morning?
