I take 200 mg Provigil. Nuvigil is a milder one than Provigil. Modefil genarici doesn’t work as well. I listen to a audiobook from the library

I Have Narcolepsy. My Medication Isn't Working Anymore.

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Fitzgerald, GA

I was prescribed provigil 200 mg 2 x day 16 years ago. It worked great for 13 years. About 3 years ago around 2 pm my medication had wore off. So I started taking 3 tablets a day (600) mg. So I had medication for 20 days and suffered the last 10 days because I didn't think my doctor would prescribe 3 a day
Now my problem is provigil tolerance. One day it works and most days it doesn't. Has any one that has taken this for a long period had this to happen to them? Any suggestions on what I need… read more

I Would Love To See An Article With Resources Of How And Where We Can Find Our Stimulants.

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toledo, OH

I am struggling to find my dextroamphetamine since the DEA cut the recommended amount of pills to 3 a day.😡 I have always taken 2-10mg tablets 3x a day, total 60mgs a day. The combination drugs do nothing for me, and ER doesn't work as well as IR tablets
Do they even make 20mg dextroamphetamine?? Where do I look? How can I get my pharmacy to special order it? I ended up with my Dr prescribing 20mg amphetamine salts, 3x a day. They do NOTHING for me. I even took 40mg at once, and I can't keep my… read more

I take provigil. Helps, a little.

I Am Taking 400mg Modafinil For Uncontrollable Daytime Sleeping And 80mg Fluoxetine For Cataplexy Total Collapse, Both Are No Longerworking.

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chesterfield, UK

I can take a full dose of Modafinil and, if I allow myself, go straight to sleep in seconds.
I am taking a full dose of Fuoxetine and experiencing total loss of muscle control and collapse. It worked like magic at first but now I am back to where I started.
Please, is there anything else I can try?

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member

What is a full dose of Provigil? I thought you could take at least 500mg a day but that depends if your doctor signs that off. I change my dosage depending on what I am doing. If I can, then I will… read more

Does Anyone Have Less Severe Cataplexy And Could Explain What It Is Like?

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Boston, MA

I have read into cataplexy and there seem to be more major attacks (falling over and things like that) and more minor attacks (drooping of the face was mentioned). If anyone has the more minor attacks, would you mind trying to describe what it is like? I tried looking on the internet but there is nothing from an actual person with cataplexy's point of view.

The reason I'm asking: I tend to worry about things so it could definitely be my imagination but I have noticed when I find something… read more

Do Stimulants Help?

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
La Mesa, CA

When I was first diagnosed beginning of high school, my doctor had me try a couple different treatments. One of them was Ritalin, but I was wary of pills and didn't want to go that route. College has really been testing my limits, and I'm starting to fall behind. Do stimulants help any of you guys? Which kinds help the most? Do side effects outweigh the pros? Thank you!

I’m taking Modafinil and it is helpful. At times I feel a bit anxious in the mornings after I’ve taken my modafinil.

Soon as I wake up. So I can get out of bed. Second one- no later than 3:00pm

Need Examples Of Medication Regimens

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Wellington, FL

I took adderal for years, but felt like I was sleep deprived even though I was awake. I switched from a neurologist to a sleep specialist who took my off Adderall and put me on wakix. No change with that. We added xywav a couple months ago. I feel like my brain works better now (I felt like I was developing dementia before) but I am soooooo tired all day, all I want to do is sleep again and I'm back to sleeping 12+ hours a day. He didn't know if it was safe to add on stimulants, so I asked about… read more
