Narcolepsy drugs online
Common Questions and Answers about Narcolepsy drugs online
narcolepsy
i am not on any medication or drugs. it is kinda of a good feeling if i was sitting around doing nothing. and at the same time it should not be happening. i do have narcolepsy and the reason i add this is because i know this in itself has a lot of symptoms ie cataplexy sleep paralysis.
If this has been ruled out, the excessive daytime sleepiness could be due to other disorders like narcolepsy. Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy. It could also be due to idiopathic hypersomnia. Please check with your doctor to rule out these conditions.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
You should continue taking prescribed medications until your doctor gives some other instructions. If you are taking stimulant drugs for narcolepsy such as Provigil, it should be discontinued only under the direction of your physician. Generally the doctors ask the patients to discontinue taking the medication approximately five to seven days before the MSLT.

m also always fatigued, sleepy and low energy, but I keep myself moving and motivated. I have been seeing a sleep specialist who diagnosed me with Narcolepsy (Polysomnograph and MSLT both suggestive of narcolepsy i.e. 4 SOREMs with mean latency of <8 minutes)
About me:
24 years old white male, fair skinned with dark blonde hair, 6''0", 195lbs, in shape and athletic (work out and jog 5-6 days of the week). University educated and work in government policy, 9:00-5:00.
I was diagnosed with narcolepsy approx. 5 yrs. ago. I haven't gone for another sleep study since,
nor has my doctor seem to ever remember that I have narcolepsy. I am his only patient with narcolepsy,
and if I ever end up in his office, it seems like he always forgets that I have narcolepsy. I don't
believe he has a good understanding of this. Any suggestions. I am in the process of trying to switch
my doctor, but in the meanwhile, I have been more tired lately than usual.
ve already been diagnosed with Thyroid Hoshimotos, and on top of that Narcolepsy, the most commonly associated symptom of Narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness, which probably why you been dx with Chronic Fatigue as well, the constant level of fatigue could genuinely account for the cognitive issues you've been experiencing.
I am 46 yrs old I have been Dx with EDD/narcolepsy and following recent sleep studies with central sleep apnoea. I have been on modofanil for 12 yrs . I am now on maximum dose of this and while it makes life semi bearable I have days where I am so tired it is difficult to describe.
I have no idea wht to do next , whether to go back to sleep clinic or go see the neurologist or just soldier on . Seems to be the end result of most interventions anyways.
Narcolepsy is a CNS disorder and is thought to also be caused by an autoimmune disorder.
Causes: current thinking is that a group of cells in the brain responsible for sleep-wake behavior is damaged or absent. (gosh do you think the MS lesions might also damage this area for people unlucky to have both!)
Tests: The spinal fluid of most patients with narcolepsy shows the neuroprotein lacking or deficient. The neuroprotein is "hypocretin".
Hey ,1 month back i got disease "Bells Palsy" on right side of my face.I went to doctor they give me antiviral drugs,they didn't tell me any specific reason why it happens(may be due to cold exposure)this reason seems to be possible for me .
they asked me whether i am diabetic or not,They took my MRI brain scan test,but they didn't found anything.
Now it is completely gone within 2 weeks.
Hi, welcome to the forum. Your history is suggestive of narcolepsy. In this condition there will be excessive daytime sleepiness. In this condition there will be “automatic behavior" such as driving past a highway exit or writing off a page, with no memory of the previous few minutes. Classical narcolepsy constitutes of Hypnagogic hallucinations, Sleep paralysis and Cataplexy (emotionally triggered muscle paralysis resulting in partial or complete collapse).
Hello,
Causes of excessive sleepiness are sleep-wake cycle disorder like in night shifts, sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders, psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia,diabetes,obesity,restless leg syndrome,use of drugs or alcohol and narcolepsy(Abnormal sleep disorder leading to excessive daytime drowsiness).
You should consult a sleep specialist and get all these causes ruled out.

I was recently told I have Narcolepsy with Cataplexy. I am a 74 year old Female and I am taking 20mg of Ritalin SR in the AM and 25mg of Imipram for the cataplexy in the PM. I get about 2 to 4 hrs sleep and the rest of the night I toss and turn. My Dr. told me she doesn't give meds for her patients to sleep.
I am concerned about not sleeping and then taking Ritalin to keep me awake during the day.I feel my health will be affected. Is this the normal way to treat my condition?
About a year and a half ago I did a sleep study and was diagnosed with narcolepsy. First, they advised me to try several different stimulants, but each one made me go insane. I shook constantly, I went from smoking a little less than a pack a day to 2 full packs a day, I talked constantly, I was panicky, etc. Then, my doctor suggested Xyrem. Here's where things got bad. I took it as prescribed, slowly building up my dosage, until I got addicted to the feeling it gave me before I fell asleep.
Modafinil is a drug for narcolepsy prescribed for MS fatigue. I am interested in knowing if you have narcolepsy or MS fatigue. Recently I have been experiencing extreme fatigue for which my neuro prescribed amantadine. It is working. The next step would be modafinil but I was told that many of their patients use Ritalin or adderall. Both are addictive so they start with the ones with least side effects first. So far amantadine has been helping get me through my day without crashing.
Can I have some feedback about any reputable online suppliers of pet medications? Or vise versa.
Palsy to stress after all these years. I see so many victims online saying it was stress related. I also dont understand why the medical community does not have more information about long lasting effects of Bell's Palsy when so many victims online still have problems most of their lives. Where is the research money going???
