My doctor will appeal it, but how can the insurance company decide that I magically no longer need this medication???
Every year a insurance company can and most likely will drop prior authorization and you start over. I always make sure every year my insurance pays for everything the next... everyone needs to know… read more
I have consistently been losing weight for a few years without trying. I’ve lost around 30 lbs in 2-3 years. Doctors are disagreeing on the cause, one seems to think it’s my meds for narcolepsy, although I’ve only been on those six months. Curious to know if anyone lost/gained weight once diagnosed and beginning treatment?
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.

I struggle heavily with sleeping anxiety at night and my doctor is trying to get me it. Wondering if anyone can speak to their experience so I can gage an idea! Thanks!
I pretty much can’t read more than 2-3 pages of a novel without dozing off. Makes life quite weird at work when I have to read film scripts. Watching TV/ films is also pretty bad. Don’t know when I watched a whole movie/ even in the cinema.
What is helpful is when I want to nap… all I need to do is read for a few minutes.
Sounds like we're the same, although I'm never up for that long. I have no problem falling asleep at night if I can read a bit, but I tend to wake up a lot in the night. When I wake up in the middle… read more
