I have narcolepsy and sleep apnea. double whammy... I have been on almost every stimulant out there... Im running out of options... I dont understand why I am so immune and tolerant to everything... Currently im taking 140mg thats 2 70mg doses of vyvanse, which i just read isnt good for excessive day time sleepiness... im sleeping about 20 to 22 hrs a day... i was taking 3 doses of 25 mg Adderall xr which did absolutely nothing for me... before that i was taking 3 25mg doses of Focalin XR still slept all day, ive taken over the max dose of Concerta as well, i also have taken Ritalin SR, and Methylin ER. Ive tried Vyvanse in the morning with regular Adderall in the afternoon/evening, Ive tried both 400mg of Provigil and Nuvigil with no luck... I even came off stimulants for 3 months and went back on them and still nothing... No matter how little or how much i take i cant stay awake... its affecting my whole life... My fiance thinks im lazy and doesnt wanna marry me till im more "wife-like", i cant spend time with my fiance out at the parties he djs at cause i cant stay awake, i usually cant drive anywhere, i cant work and were horrible broke, im on disability for many medical reasons, sometimes i cant shower for 2 days maybe 3 cause im sleeping constantly waking only to go to the bathroom and down a slimfast so i dont die, im supposed to drink a gallon of water a day because i only have 1 kidney and some days drink no water at all, i get sad cause im too sleepy to spend time with my dogs, i miss doctor appts. i feel like a waste... if i try and get up and move around im just like ugh i dont wanna i need to rest my eyes for a sec, then im out for like 4 hours... my family yells at me for sleeping too much... im so miserable...

i did some research tonight, and it says people with severe narcolepsy sometimes need 2 stimulants fast acting and long lasting... ive never heard of it, but ive seen alot of good reviews about Desoxyn and Dexedrine. Now im just a lil worried about the Desoxyn being a methamphetamine... Ive never done meth, never plan on it, had a good friend die from it, so im a lil scared of it, so i know i def wouldnt abuse it... i guess its short acting... and i heard good reviews about the Dexedrine as well, which i think is long lasting... They say the Desoxyn is very addictive and has the worst withdraws out of any drug but i dont know if thats if you abuse it or if you still have really bad withdraws if you take it like you should, cause i def dont want that... theres something else they said Xyrem but thats GHB, last i knew GHB was the date rape drug back in the day... They say Xyrem is used for people resistant to stimulants but i dont see how that would keep me awake... and serious side effects include bedwetting, sleepwalking, coma, and death sounds sketchy... those are about my only options left... i hate the methylphenidate family...

if anyone reads this anyone else know of anything that might help?
