      I have been on Xyrem for four weeks and Dexedrine for 2 weeks and still have Cataplexy. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how long it takes before Cataplexsy stops. My Xyrem dose is 3.0 mls 2 times per night and the dexedrine is 5 mls 3 times a day.I am so despert for the Cataplexsy to stop just so I can get on with my life again. I have not been out of the house for 4 months and need advise.
