    • Close Narcolepsy

      diagnosis of narcolepsy in 4th grade. good results from pemoline 32.75mg ER/day for 20+yrs. switched to concerta 18mg ER/day with good results. switched to ritalin because it was so much cheaper at 20mg ER/day. worked good but made me agressive. i have high bp. i have sleep apnea and use a CPAP. Recently found out my apnea is off the hook during rem sleep. Provigil/Xyrem treatment starting soon. my goals are lower my BP, sleep well,and treat narcolepsy at the same time. Hopeing I can do this.

      Treatments

      Concerta Working / Worked
      Works good over all. I have peaks and valleys but its not that bad. Tends to run out after dinner so Im on my own at that point until bed time.
      Provigil Too Soon to Tell
      going to try this soon. directions take 200mg in morning for 7 days then up to 400mg in morning. also im goign to come off the ritalin when i start the provigil
      Ritalin Working / Worked
      I switched from concerta to Methylin because its so much cheaper. Working great so far at 20mg. keeps me awake but at what cost, im supper agressive and want to smash people. so im going to switch to provigil and xyrem combo. ill update when i start.
      Xyrem Too Soon to Tell
      once i can find my MLST records im going to start xyrem. Im looking forward to trying it and actualy sleeping for once in my life. hope it works
