I had a few Hypagogi moments a few years ago, probably from me not be comfortable.I think I`m narcoleptic, I get tired very quickly and I get up and lay down and say fuck it I`m going to sleep.I don`t pass out in class or fall where I am, It`s just laziness and tiredness.

I was swimming a few years ago. Me and my sisters snuck out to go swimming in the summer at around 4am...We got to the pond and when I went under, I fell into a deep deep sleep and the hullications seemed so calming and peaceful i thought i was dying. i saw beautiful castles, starfish that shone bright, etc...i felt...perfectly normal and then it all rushed away as i was being drug back to shore by my sister and gasping for air. It's hard to do much as a Narcoleptic.

This shit's real. I eat something that has a high glycemic index and I'm copping Z's after a short while. I hate it. I was in class and I ate a oatmeal raisin cookie because I was hungry and needed something to eat later I dozed off right in front of the teacher and I was the first desk directly in front of her. I apologized after class. I felt bad but they don't have anything low G.I. in the vending machines and I had to eat something I was starving.

I haven't seen any video that says that they get the same medication as I do - In Norway called Ritalin - very similar (but not the same) as Methamphetamine. I almost call it "speed" (as the drug) as I get awake and full of energy. It totally changed my life. Anyone who use the same thing or have seen vids with people who does?

I tried Ritalin, but I might as well have been just drinking water. Didn't do a thing to me. Now, in addition to Xyrem, I take high doses of dextroamphetamine. Much more potent and seems to keep me awake enough to at least function in life. But I wouldn't be where I am now without Xyrem. That gives me more of a boost than any of my medications. Without it the dextroamphetamine would be useless.

Most cases aren't too serious. I've only experienced cataplexy once in my life.

It has been about two years since I was diagnosed, I have severe narcolepsy and severe cataplexy, it sucks. I really hope that there will be a cure in the future. I guess things could be a lot worse, I would rather have these problems then a lot of other things.
