I'm Newly Diagnosed With Narcolepsy.
I'm newly diagnosed with narcolepsy. I suspected it for years but was too embarrassed to talk to the doctor about it, as I had to admit I regularly fall asleep at work. Funny thing is, in the same appointment he again diagnosed me with ADHD. So, he prescribed me Ritalin for both ADHD and narcolepsy. Is this the only treatment out there for narcolepsy? What other treatments are there?
What kind of doctor are you seeing?

How Do You Like WAKIK?
I’ve been on Armodifinil for 8 months and have tried Adderll and Ritalin on top of it but I’m allergic to the armodfinil and Ritalin and break out in hives. My doctor is going to put me in Wakik. Does it work for you and what is your thoughts on it?
I take 1 pill 17.6mg I think, and it works fine for me. I also take 75mg of Sunosi.
Why Does It Seem The Meds They Have You On Work Sometimes Better Then Other Times?
My condition seems to be independently quirky as well. Also, I have to take a break from meds once in awhile & just sleep. Seems the meds cause me to use up whatever it is that my brain has in short… read more
Do Stimulants Help?
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.
Did Anyone Else “diagnose” Themselves First?
Has anyone else figured out that they had narcolepsy before their doctors? I always have trouble getting my doctors to truly listen to what I’m saying, and for them to not say that EVERYTHING wrong with me is because of my anxiety/mental health. No one would listen, so I talked to my psychiatrist and told HIM I was pretty sure I had it, told him my symptoms... HE referred me to a sleep specialist, I did the studies, and now it’s confirmed. I’m 32. I’ve been having symptoms since I was a kid. 8th… read more
It sucks that alot of people say the same thing. Doctors need to be more involve and if they really have a passion for their career, that they went to school for so many years. They should start… read more

Is Anyone Out There Using Vitamin Supplements To Treat Their Narcolepsy Symptoms? Specifically, B Complex In Therapeutic Doses.
I was diagnosed at age 11. I am 78 at this writing. I chose not to marry or have children after the diagnosing doctor told me my children would more than likely inherit this condition from me. Depression accompanies my condition. In about 1983, I learned that I needed to stop taking the prescribed medication Dexedrine due to its adverse side effects and long-term use dangers. It took me years to stop taking the Dexedrine and replace it with vitamin supplements. I had help from a Naturopathic… read more
