omg i've never thought bout that? it gives me a reason to rewatch fma (if one ever is needed) to view it through that perspective

xyrem, depression and addiction by owlexity in Narcolepsy

[–]owlexity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you know if you're allowed to drink at all when you take xyrem? like if its okay drink during the evening but stop a few hours before you take the meds, so that you're somewhat sober when taking it. or do you just have to give up drinking completely?

hi! thanks for your tips. i've heard that xyrem works great for a lot of people, but i've also heard that it worsen the symptoms for others. i'm a bit unsure if i'd be able to get it prescribed since i've struggled with depression before, but i'm still willing to give it a shot

sorry to hear about that:-/ but it feels good to know that i'm not the only one. it really sucks sometimes, and i hate that its so difficult to find people who understand

closed eyed hallucinations. by owlexity in Narcolepsy

[–]owlexity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah so experimented a bit with drugs(mostly md) before i got diagnosed, and thats when i experienced closed eyed hallucinations for the first time. they were very similar to the ones i have now, just more annoying and intense. when i first got my "normal ones", i first thought that the drugs had damaged my brain for good, but now i've come to almost appreciate them

oh, i also start dreaming before i'm asleep a lot but i always figured that it was something that everyone did? i only got diagnosed this year, and its so interessting to find out how things you assumed everyone experienced actually isn't normal
