In reply to excessive daytime sleepiness, Amphetamines, posted by River1924 on February 22, 2006, at 18:15:44
I take focalin (for ADHD, not narcolepsy)
The risk with stimulants for me is that I can end up short on sleep, which will still slow me down.
Do you sleep well at night?
Do you exercise regularly?I find dexedrine affects my sleep more than Ritalin. Exercise helps me a lot.
> Is there a limit to how many stimulants one can take? I have narcolepsy of a sort, excessive daytime sleepiness. I take 400 mg of provigil (spread over the day,) 60 mg of dextroamphetamine (spread over the day,) and 25 mg of desipramine. I still get sleepy and space out and fall asleep easily. My motivation goes up and down. I don't collapse with cataplexy but, apparently my barely perceptible moments of blanking out suggest narcolepsy. Anything else I should try? Thanks, River.
