I was diagnosed w/ Narcolepsy 5 years ago, a few months after the birth of my first baby. Since then I've mostly been on dexedrine, which is the most effective for me. Slow release doesn't work as well and I'm slowly starting to notice an immunity to my dosage.

Great for ADHD. I liked concerta better but it is too expensive.

Works great. I take Dexedrine Spansules, which are better, I think. No crashing. I get insomnia though.

Modafinil works well on the sleep problem. Also have migraine (chronic daily variety) and doctors convinced case us modafinil. In "catch 22" situation as life without medication for narcolepsy is rather sad zombie like twilight existence. confused as don't feel doctors know how debilitating sleep problem is.

Thought it was great until I had a major B/P spike. The doc thought it prudent to change meds.
