What can i do to help my narcolepsy?


I have narcolepsy and i always fall alseep on the toilet. last time, i fell asleep and slipped in the toilet. when i woke up, i was all messy. it was a terrible experience. what can i do prevent falling asleep while performing activities, such as using the facilities?

#1 change doctors. Your meds aren't working. #2 You have to rig up a bar so that if you fall forward, it will stop you. If worse comes to worse, get a wheelchair and cut out the bottom, position it over the toilet, but put the front bar/desk top in place before you begin your business (brakes on).

Adderall !

There are medications for this problem: I believe Provigil is one, but there may be side effects, like skin reactions. Consult a doctor, and check out any medications first, at www.drugs.com See http://www.sleepfoundation.org
