Thank you for the reply Lucia. May I ask what mg you take on each of these meds, sodium oxybate & venlafaxine, also do you take them in the morning, before bed or what times and once or twice a day?

Thank you.

Sodium oxybate and venlafaxine. They work great. Since being put on these two drugs, I have had zero cataplexy- except for a couple of days when I forgot to take my venlafaxine, and then I had only slight cataplexy (in my facial muscles).
