My name is Kristy my husband just found out about two years ago that he has narcolepsy. He started out on provigil and it worked for a very short while then he went to ritalin it didnt work at all the next step was adoral it went from one pill to two and then to a release form of it then back to the old med and now it is up to three pills a day and doctors told him that he wasn’t allowed to drive. He has driven off the road, had blackouts, angry most of the time and the stress of the whole thing is just to much what else what happens when three pills stop working.

    I was just diagnosed with narcolepsy yesterday, but I have been falling asleep inappropriately since early high school.
