My boss called me in for a meeting today because i've been consistantly late. I just cannot get up in the morning. No matter how many alarms I set or how many automated things I set up I sleep through it. The only thing that gets me up is the sheer panic when I realize I overslept. Again.

I stay awake… read more

Hello
Does anyone have a child who was diagnosed when they were really young? Wondering abt their medication and overall experience

Over thirty pounds! I think it’s all the amphetamines.
I know people will hate me for saying this, but I hope I don’t lose too much more. I’m losing some muscle with it and, let’s just say, at my age… read more
I spoke with my sleep specialist, my doctor, the manufacturer, and panther x pharmacy. They did not have any information if the medication is safe to take when pregnant. They said there were animal and few clinical trials but I don't know. My sleep specialist told me to ask my doctor. My doctor told me to ask the manufacturer and it seems like I am getting the runaround. The pharmacy told me that there are few clinical trials with pregnant women and medications with lots of medication not just w… read more

When I have an episode of dozing, as I am waking up, I start talking strange things. I really don't know how to explain it. So weird and strange!
While I have never experienced sleep walking, I do sleep talk! Apparently it is a part of narcolepsy. I also experience very vivid dreams which tend to blur with reality. This has led to me running… read more
