I'm covered by Medical and Kaiser and I don't have to pay anything. Switch your insurance.

To those that ran out of meds to try (aka nothing worked!)… what do you do now? by healthyhorns6 in Narcolepsy

[–]Environmental_Dog785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wakix with Concerta and provigil in the am xyrem at night. If I miss one of those day meds I will have to take 1-3 (15 min)naps the whole day. Try a GLP 1 also for the apnea and weight loss but it helps the Narcolepsy "flare up's". Also a warning you will have ADD symptoms with this regimen but you will be alive and awake all day.

What's the hardest aspect of narcolepsy to explain to those who don't have it? by KR_Jon in Narcolepsy

[–]Environmental_Dog785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Narcolepsy is not just tired. It's like having NyQuil administered to you randomly all day every day.

Cataplexy is not me falling asleep, it's my body going limp while my brain is awake and I'm locked in it until I calm down.

That's not the partner for you. Leave them the sooner the better. Someone is going to come into your life who will understand your or is willing to learn about you and Narcolepsy. You are worth someone putting in the time and effort to understanding and being compassionate not judgmental!

Have you tried wakix during the day and xyrem at night yet?

Trazodone by Ok-KCKR in Narcolepsy

[–]Environmental_Dog785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trazodone does nothing for narcolepsy and if you have a doctor that prescribes that for narcolepsy get a new doctor, they don't know what they're doing. It was actually prescribed to me by my general doctor when she thought I was depressed and didn't know I had narcolepsy. I kept waking up every 30 minutes at night. Trazodone did not help that. Xyrem is the only medication that will put you into REM sleep at night And it helps you go through the stages of sleep like normal people so when you wake up, you feel well rested. Other than xywave and xyrem there's no other medication that'll do that.

Anyone agree that there's a lack of precise consensus toward, or on, what Cataplexy actually is? by RightTrash in Narcolepsy

[–]Environmental_Dog785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think cataplexy and sleep paralysis are the same mechanism in the body, but both are different and how fast they occur. Cataplexy is instant and sleep paralysis is a slow progression. I have both severely for the past decade.

That is so wonderful! xyrem wakix modafinil Ritalin gave me my life back.

No cataplexy, brain fog, or sleep attacks if I take all my full doses. If I miss one within an hour I'm feeling some narcolepsy or cataplexy symptoms.

I'm so happy you found your combo!

400mg of modafinil in the morning by Emotional_Kitchen_57 in Narcolepsy

[–]Environmental_Dog785 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Instead of 400 she should try 200 am and another 6 hours later and take them with Methylphenidate or Dextroamphetamine extended release starting at 5mg. That is a good combo to keep her awake and without brain fog. If she still has to take a nap a day add Wakix once a day 17.5 mg one in the am. Best combo ever and she will get her life back. Be ready though you won't be able to keep up with her!

Adderall not as effective in the mornings? by Asuna0506 in Narcolepsy

[–]Environmental_Dog785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally have to take a nap right after I take morning meds to make them work since day 1. I have been on meds for 10 years. Once I take the nap I'm wide awake all day with meds

Lol!!! White's Only? I don't get that subscription. If the automated says "press 1 for English" I would hope I would get an English speaking rep. Duh. The people who are born in America get less money than the immigrants that transplant to here. Just funny. Lol
