In this paper, we obtain existence results of periodic solutions of hamiltonian systems in the Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^1{L}^{\Phi }\left([0,T]\right)$. We employ the direct method of calculus of variations and we consider  a potential  function $F$ satisfying the inequality $\left|\nabla F(t,x)\right|\le b_1\left(t\right){\Phi }_0^{\text{'}}\left(\right|x\left|\right)+b_2\left(t\right)$, with $b_1,b_2\in L^1$ and  certain $N$-functions ${\Phi }_0$.
