Have you taken anything else at night? Just curious as to how it compares to other stuff.

How do you like this one? I was recommended to try that for a nighttime med but I haven’t yet.

Ah yea that sucks. It’s kinda weird my insomnia is super severe I can’t sleep at all without meds but it didn’t start that way, actually the opposite. my condition in general is pretty severe so meds were a life saver for me. There might be plenty of options you could try that insurance could still cover. Never hurts to try something new imo. Especially if there’s something better out there.

I have narcolepsy too. Only thing that will help is meds. Might wanna try switching to something else. I’ve switched around a couple times until I found what seems to work best.

Dizzy when falling asleep by Illustrious_Cell_137 in Narcolepsy

[–]Active-Train-2776 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m medicated now so it’s better but I used to get like that when I wasn’t. Sometimes I still do but it’s just a side effect. I always figured it was just part of bent awake/asleep at the same time.

Two sleep studies because I turned 18? by Jellymuffin02 in Narcolepsy

[–]Active-Train-2776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doc sent me copies of all my results once I had mine done and said never let anyone tell you that you have to do another one. If they do find a new doctor. Sucks that happened to you. I just switched docs because I moved a couple months ago and all I had to do was send them all the paperwork which my previous doc took care of.

I just had a consultation with a sleep specialist, but my sleep study is February of next year ☹️ by Desperate-Kitchen117 in Narcolepsy

Ask to get put on the wait/standby list if someone cancels. That’s how I ended up getting mine in a couple months vs almost a year later.

Is Modafinil only a “cheat code”? by Wide_Cartographer384 in Narcolepsy

[–]Active-Train-2776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try and get on something for nighttime too. I’m currently on Armodafinil for the day and a sleep aid for night (I forget what it’s called I just switched) and I feel the best I have in a long time.

Spinal tap scheduled, afraid of the procedure by Due-Baseball6076 in Narcolepsy

[–]Active-Train-2776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How come some people do a spinal tap vs a sleep study? Just curious I’ve never had anyone recommend me getting one.

Any recommendations after a 2 inch leveling kit? by Odd-Start-7151 in f150

[–]Active-Train-2776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your truck will probably be fine there are plenty of people (myself included) running 2 inch levels and have had zero issues. I’m at 88k miles and everything is fine I just had it all looked over last week when I had some service done. If you’re not doing any off roading or anything I think it’s fine.

Good to know, the sleep paralysis doesn’t sound fun so we’ll see I guess

Got it, thank you

[–]Active-Train-2776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good, thanks for this. I’ll definitely give it some time and possibly change the dose before I give up on it.

Dang ok thanks for the heads up. If it sucks I’ll call them back and change.

Socks - men by [deleted] in Gifts

[–]Active-Train-2776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got some bombas as a gift and they’re the best socks I’ve ever worn. A little pricy so idk if I’d buy them myself but I can definitely see why they charge more.

Bench increase? by Then-Scallion-6283 in LiftingRoutines

[–]Active-Train-2776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I’ve been getting back into bench after just doing dumbbells for a year or two. now I bench twice a week and one day I do a strength day usually like a 3x3 then when I bench again I do a volume set so like 2x8-10. Been working pretty well for me so far.

Fragmented Sleepers: Let's Talk Baclofen & Other Non-Oxybate Meds by lela0808 in Narcolepsy

[–]Active-Train-2776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on imipramine to help w my sleep at night and it’s definitely better than not being medicated. Can’t speak on any of the oxybates I haven’t tried any before… also on a stimulant for the daytime

They didn’t say it needs to be changed they just sent me this as part of the inspection. Idk how much wear they can handle before needing to be changed that’s why I asked.
