Does Anyone Have ADHD And Narcolepsy?
A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went to my doctor and explain to them that I thought I might have ADHD however, it is not being effectively treated because I was told that the medication for ADHD had the opposite effect in people who had narcolepsy and that’s why it worked. However, if you have ADHD and narcolepsy, does it work for one and not the other? How are you treated for both conditions?

Simulants seem to work. My daughter has both. I never believed in medicating children for ADHD but before I realized she also had narcolepsy, I agreed to try stimulants for a few months. It was like a miracle. She was on Adderall.
