Is Eating After Taking a Xywav Dose Drug Abuse?

I keep getting told every single time I late night snack that I'm abusing Xywav at this point because I'm up snacking. Even if I'm only snacking an hour past the time I scheduled for sleep, I'm under the impression that it isn't, but I'm not sure as people who are telling me don't have narcolepsy for themselves, plus my own doctor hasn't told me this directly. Is there anyone that knows?

  1. Hi . We are not medical experts, but that sounds like an odd criticism. I'm not sure how snacking at night could impact your use of Xywav unless you are using it to stay awake so you can snack. Do you know what their logic is? Honesty, I would reach out to your doctor and then share your doctor's response with them, if you feel that's necessary and you are comfortable doing so. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
