I've assumed I had insomnia; I didn't sleep for 11 days and had a breakdown so they gave me 7 sleeping pills which gave me 4 hours sleep that week.

I have strong urges to sleep, & switch off when walking. I have weird memory lapses, it's not like my bad memory; I will blink and not remember the minutes beforehand. Might be micro sleep with automatic behaviour; I apparently hold down conversations fine but don't remember it. I doubt my GP will investigate it, they won't check anything ever. >_<

The best drug to keep you awake is Dexedrine. It is supposed to be addictive, but it is not if you take it according to directions. Maybe 10 mg (spansule) per day. If you take extra drugs, they may interact badly. Never take Ambien from anyone. Provigil has dangerous side effects. Ritalin is ineffective for narcolepsy. Xyrem is the "date rape drug" which puts you into a coma. Note: a coma is NOT a cure for sleepiness. Beware: some docs RX 3 drugs when mixed can kill you. (ie) Elvis

Presley.

@mrconradhoppe are you narcoleptic,or have insomnia,your doc is weird cuse one of other is neurological disease,it is not in your brain,and narcolepsy is autoimunny disease,it is all about chemic in your brain,it is not mental case it is neurological case...

Two years ago I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and tried Provigil (too expensive) and Xyrem (didn't help much) then I was put on Adderall which seems to do the trick. Don't feel like I'm on speed and not the least bit addicted, it makes me feel more alert for a while but I still need to nap in the afternoon. I don't know about the rest of narcoleptics but this disorder makes concentration and focus difficult when I have EDS and my memory is also affected.

I have been diagnosed with the narcolepsy that she talks about, i don't fall asleep at random, i am just tired ALL day long, no matter how i sleep.

I was proscribed Provigil, but it is expensive. I do not feel "high" or super energenic, but i think it brings me to a "normal" level, awake, refreshed, and actually wanting to do stuff.

I found that before i was diagnosed and prescribed, my GF would be like hey lets go do something, and i was like nah.. i want to sleep.. But now that has changed

@Numchux3

I use to take Provigil, but it gave me headaches...So I am toughing it out, but

can relate so much too..Hey lets go do this and your like I'm too tired.

[punkeesplayland]

@Numchux3 I am tired all the time too, only sometimes do i completely lose control or fall asleep. I do have to fight it a lot though. It took 5 years to get my diagnosis, and I tried something similar to Provigil but it gave me headaches too so now I am on adderal

Well .. It mostly depends on our lifestyle patterns and can be linked to Depression !!

Check urself !!

Try Prayanama. Check with an expert and design your exercises accordingly. You can learn how to do them here or under some good guidance. But changing the exercises is very critical and hence should be done by knowledgeable person to avoid side effects.

I can assure you that it has helped quite a few people including me and people I know. Things may NOT be cured but they are better CONTROLLED and reduces drug dependencies.
