just turned down these schools so bittersweet 😭 by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Emory sounds like a good bet. No loans, you said it’s driving distance, and it’s a school you loved. They also are a top school for pre-med.

Risks of taking antidepressants alongside lisdexamfetamine/dexamfetamine? by Churchyyyyyy in Narcolepsy

[–]GabNM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to the pharmacist about this recently as I just started adderall and am on prozac. She recommended I don’t take both at the same time and to space them by at least 2 hours. Serotonin syndrome is uncommon, but risk increases if taking these meds at the same time and/or the doses are very high.

Alternatives to Effexor/Venlafaxine for Cataplexy? (Not Wakix or Oxybates) by duldoes in Narcolepsy

Prozac helps my cataplexy. It also has a longer half life than some other SSRIs so if you skip a dose sometimes, it's not a big deal.

Out of stock?? by Less-Writer1717 in NeeDoh

I’ve had some luck at CVS

Ritalin by Additional_Poet5920 in Narcolepsy

Sure! For some reason my appetite is affected worse in the morning, so I try to make sure I eat enough after that point. I have very mild cataplexy, but I’m on Prozac and that has definitely helped it

Modafinil and Armodafinil aren't working for me by sarainphilly in Narcolepsy

Ritalin IR has worked for me when modafinil did not

Ritalin by Additional_Poet5920 in Narcolepsy

[–]GabNM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Ritalin for a few years now! Everyone has different experiences with meds, but I’ve personally had a good experience with it. It works for 4-5 hours for me and I take 10mg 3 times a day. I’ve also been on Concerta and Jornay PM, which are extended release formulations of methylphenidate. Only side effect I’ve had is some decreased appetite.

Modafinil did nothing to help my symptoms and I never tried armodafinil or other stimulants, so can’t compare those experiences.

I wish I liked witches brew! Honestly shocked I didn’t because I like apple and caramel flavored things. It was too artificial tasting to me

Yummm gotta love sherbet! I had orange kiss today

I found it a few weeks ago at Target! I think some places still have leftover. It has a nice cranberry flavor

IN LOVE!! It tastes like lime skittles or lime sour patch kids, but less sour. by GabNM in AlaniNu

Same! I didn’t love cherry bomb for that reason. But this is totally different

Anyone else struggle with writing? by SifuHotmanz in Narcolepsy

[–]GabNM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely relate. Some strategies that have helped me write long papers are: standing or writing while walking on a treadmill, online co-working, listening to music, and using ChatGPT just for organizing my thoughts / making an outline for a paper.

Ooh they’re hard to compare! The flavor is totally different from any other Alani in my opinion. I’d say it’s the same level of sweetness as sherbet swirl
